I have always like the click sound that the iPhone made when you typed a key. It seemed like just the “right” click too. Very similar to the sound of the click wheel. Unfortunately, I’ve finally decided to disable the sound because it seems to induce a bit of lag sometimes. In between the playing […]
Over the Thanksgiving break, I worked on a little “webtoy” that basically brought features of the BART website (and their PocketPC/Palm app) to the iPhone. It is basically a little website for BART that provides an interface targeting the iPhone.
You can do all the important things like plan a trip, see how much a trip […]
Most of the recent phone buzz has been around Google’s “gPhone” and Apple iPhone (much to Nokia’s and Sony Ericsson’s demay). Google’s “gPhone” is really Andriod, a mobile phone stack.
Though no Andriod devices are available right now (publicly), that doesn’t stop people from comparing Google’s offering with Apple’s. Maybe it is because both Google and […]
On my Mac, I’ve been pretty happy with Mail.app as an IMAP client. It seems to fit just right. It does the things I need the way I want them to, without doing too much more. HTML mail would be nice (and I guess it is in Leopard) but really that isn’t that big of […]
Ruby has always had some weird funkiness on OS X with GCC 4 (at least on G4 PowerPCs from my personal experience). It seems to work fine most of the time, but once in a while you would get random errors/exceptions. In fact, I only ever seem the issue when running “gem update”. Wierd. The […]
When I first setup my machine for mail hosting I wasn’t sure which MTA to use, Exim or Postfix. I ended up choosing Exim because I was running Debian, and Exim was the default. I figured they must have picked it for a good reason. One issue, I had with Exim was simply that it […]
I’ve been ripping a bunch of CDs lately. And by far the best way to do that is using a slot in CD drive (like on my PowerBook). I am using iTunes and I have it setup to rip when I insert a disc and pop it out when it’s done.
Wow, makes it so much […]
One course that I was disappointed in from my college days was my compiler (theory) class. The reason it disappointed me was that it was/is something I have interest in, but I really didn’t learn much from the class. There are multiple reasons for that: the department could barely find a professor for the class […]
I lost a harddrive in my NAS earlier this week. Luckily it is running RAID5, so I haven’t suffered any data loss (yet). I ordered and just received the drives today (I ordered an extra, so next time I won’t have to wait). I just finished replacing the drive, and the array is resyncing.
So far, […]
I’ve been mucking around with FrontPage Extensions for a while now. Wow. What a POS. First step was to adapt the module so it runs under Apache 2.2. The rest of the steps involved a lot of cursing.
FrontPage only reads/writes its configuration to /usr/local/frontpage.
FrontPage expects all of VirtualHosts to be defined in httpd.conf.
FrontPage expects srm.conf […]
