Remember how I couldn't log in to my WordPress admin page in Firefox on Windows, only Internet Explorer? (And even then the Tiger-like admin interface didn't show up.) Well, Firefox here on my Mac works fine. As does Safari. Yet another reason not to use Windows ...
Technically these aren't my very first steps, because I installed InstantRails on my Windows box the other day and played around a little bit. But development on Windows is not fun, and the DOS prompt just doesn't cut it as a shell. (I couldn't get RadRails to work, ...
Finally got a Mac at work. Mmm. :) It's really, really, really nice to be back on a real computer. We still haven't figured out the network situation yet (they kind of don't want us to put a hub in), so I have to switch the Ethernet ...
Apple recently posted this article: MySQL on Mac OS X: An Ideal Development Combination:
According to Brian Aker, Director of Architecture for MySQL AB, “Frankly I think Mac OS X is the best platform for doing development today. It gives you the best mix of development tools and required business ...
Apple's released the Get a Mac ads. My favorites are Restarting and iLife. LOL, literally. :) My Powerbook died a month ago (the video RAM, which unfortunately is part of the main logic board, which ...
I've hesitated to post because I'm trying to move this blog to a different location (and name), but this is good stuff: today Apple announced Boot Camp, which lets you install Windows XP on your Intel-based Mac (and boot both OS X and Windows). Personally, I'd never use ...
(I hope.) So, my Powerbook died yesterday. Luckily I can still boot it in target disk mode and get all the data off, but it looks like it's going to be out of the game. (Once I finish backing up I'll run the hardware diagnostic test ...
The more I read about Python, the more I'm liking it. (See Eric S. Raymond's Why Python?, for example.) I suppose that if I upgraded to Tiger, the binding problem I had would go away. So, if that does indeed happen, I suspect I'll be doing ...
I'm supposed to be in bed (early meeting tomorrow morning) but I figured I'd quickly mention this. I downloaded and installed PyObjC today and tried to get the sample program (from Apple's website) working, and I was so close, but for some reason my Xcode (1.5, on OS X ...
In my linguistics classes, we're doing stuff with text processing/analysis software (like WordCruncher) that's Windows-only, and it's a shame. How hard would it be to write a text analysis engine in Perl or Python and a frontend in PyObjC? It can't be that hard... Perhaps I'll use ...
