Moving to a new mac

Things to remember next time:

Applications/Macports: Save a list of applications and requested Macports

ls /Applications > applications.txt
sudo port -qv installed | cut -d ' '  -f 3 | sort -u > myports.txt
sudo port echo requested | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort -u > requested.txt

On new mac:

Remove shadow from screen shots: (see here)

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool TRUE

Other settings
