The problem: you want to be able to always use the same address in VMWare Fusion for your local Mac web server(s), to test IE6 and IE7 with apps as you dev locally. You normally connect via DHCP, so you can’t depend on your IP address being constant. You can’t use localhost or […]
If you are getting long, recursive stack traces like the following when trying to run a test/spec from within Textmate:
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/builder-2.1.2/lib/blankslate.rb:84:in `blank_slate_method_added': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/builder-2.1.2/lib/blankslate.rb:84:in `blank_slate_method_added'
from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/builder.rb:86:in `method_added'
from /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/builder.rb:111
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'...
The stack goes on for many more lines, and your tests always work normally outside of textmate. The issue is that textmate [...]
Jeff Atwood of CodingHorror fame recently put together the "ultimate developer rig" for Scott Hanselman. Both these guys are primarily microsoft devs, so its forgivable that the machine is a PC box with Vista on it. Still, if I were to build my own pc, I would put Ubuntu Feisty on it and [...]
Lately I've wanted to deploy locally to my mac using Capistrano. Not for actual deployment locally, but to test some custom tasks I was working on. Its a lot quicker and safer to run custom tasks against a local sandbox then some real server somewhere. Writing real tests for custom tasks is [...]
Bored and procrastinating. Might as well link some things up for you, gentle reader.
Deprecations coming in Rails 1.2 - prepare yourself
Serious vulnerability in Ruby's CGI libary (1.8.5 and below!) - you are effected if you are using Mongrel, plain CGI, or Litespeed - you are NOT effected if you are using FastCGI. See [...]
Will Shipley's hilarious presentation [pdf] has a slide that really boils down the mac vs pc debate to its essence:
Mac people use their computers
Windows people put up with their computers
So what do Linux people do then?
I was just about to post this as an open question, when I actually scrolled in the google results and found this handy tip:
Make the Mac OS X Color Picker into an application
That just makes the handy Mac OS X color picker that much better. Now I don't need textedit open just grab hex [...]
Since switching to the new macbook last month, I've loved getting to know Safari and Camino. Safari has the insane speed going for it, and Camino has the power of the Gecko engine with MacOS style. Lately I've been using Firefox for all first-iteration development work and Safari for all general browsing. [...]
This morning gave me a rare oppurtunity to catch up on feeds and do some random surfing. The new job has meant way less time for pointless surfing, which is mostly a good thing but also means I don't get to find gems like these:
Danah Boyd, who is well known for her research on [...]
So we are up and running for Seeking Alpha, so I've been getting to know the MacBook and loving it. The speed and stability is awesome, so far I really haven't had to wait longer then a few seconds for just about anything to process, with the exception of an install off CD. [...]
