I’ve had this old 1,1 macbook pro kicking around now for about a year. The thing has been beat up pretty bad. I clocked about a zillion lines of code on the thing, keys fell off, airport wifi thing blew up, dvd dead. I decided to at least replace the keyboard and stick linux on [...]
RVM is a great tool for handling rubies. TextMate is a great editor. TextMate does not like ruby 1.9 however. Issues with some of the C extension on OS/X, namely plist handling.

Tagged ubuntuI got a bit of an education on netbooks today. It was bound to happen, sooner or later. Apple has really been getting to me lately, getting me down. So I first want to be able to go away without dragging that brick of a MacBook around with me, and even though it’s the latest [...]
Tagged hardwareSo I guess this is first post for the new domain. Actually, the domain wasn’t that new. I had it over at MediaTemple for a bit but what I didn’t realize when I signed up was they use Plesk for management. Dreamhost has totally spoiled me with their admin console.
