Leopard’s Rubygem

Apple screwed up rubygems in the ruby framework version shipped as part of Leopard… gem_server is missing :(

UPDATE: instead of gem_server, it’s is now gem server :)

Gem Install for Java

I am sick of downloading all the java libraries myself so I was hoping I could automate it using a tool.

So I looked into Maven, and I gave up after approx. 30 mins because for a lot of the libraries I wanted, Maven didn’t download the source for it so I’d still need to find it myself…

This is so much more hassle to maintain a local repository for jars and source compare to rubygem.

Maybe will have another crack some other time.

Cool Documentations

Stumble across /Developer/ADC Reference Library on my harddrive when using Disk Inventory X to clean up my mini. There is an index.html and it looks like it could be useful in the future.

Find in Safari

Firefox is a memory hog and gets slower as soon as I have a few tabs and google apps opened.

Time to give Safari another try, especially the version 3 improve the ‘Find’ function. It used to be a pop-up dialog to enter search text, which annoys me but now it’s similar to how Firefox does ‘Find’ :)

At the End of 30

After a couple of year without doing sports like before, I realised I needed to change my lifestyle as my health was not looking good.

Also, suddenly I have a interest in getting our finance on track. We were doing ok, but I wanted to do more than ok, I wanted to be more active. Especially reading what other people have done, I only regret not starting early. So my partner and I finally decided to get some professional help.

I guess you could say 30 yo was quite a turning point for me. Youth is no longer with me, time is never enough. sigh…. Lots of pebbles to take care of wink wink and have to re-adjust my lifestyle. But it’s all good, K is so damn cute :)

This Is Not SOA

Having 50+ modules in vcs does not mean SOA.
