OS X Screenshots location

This isn't really anything new but I finally changed my system's default location for screenshot storage. The desktop is a gross place for them to go, so much clutter! Someone pointed me at Blacktree's secrets which got me the preference I was looking for. They have a prefpane but it's not 64-bit for 10.6 yet, relaunching System Preferences is gross.

Manually setting it in terminal:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location "~/Pictures/Screenshots"

Once that's set you have to logout to have it take affect as I was impatient first time and thought it didn't work.

This was also an excuse to write a quick blog post since I want to try to get myself to blog a bit more. Woohoo.
