Google address book sync to mac address book - aargh - duplicates

The latest update to Mac OSX 10.5.3 now includes inbuilt google/address book synchronization.

However - after updating and adding my login details for gmail to addressbook it just seemed to hang with:

Can't connect to the sync server: NSInvalidReceivePortException: connection went invalid
while waiting for a reply ((null))

The solution was to remove the contents of

~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local

and try again.

Note that for account name it needed the full e-mail address complete with googlemail.com domain.

Setting up custom routes depending on the network location in OSX

Nearly all you need to know is available here:

All I found is that $BUNDLE refers to /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Kicker.bundle/ and the script should go in $BUNDLE/Contents/Resources - not $BUNDLE/Resources (the paths are a little mixed in the original article).
