RVM, ruby 1.9 and TextMate

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. Heres the first fix: $> git clone git://github.com/kballard/osx-plist.git $> cd osx-plist/ext/plist $> ruby extconf.rb && make $> mv /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/osx/plist.bundle /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/osx/plist.bundle.save $> cp plist.bundle [...]

newLisp

I finally have been able to spend some time with newLisp. It’s a lot of fun and I have a feeling I’ll be keeping it in the arsenal. Besides messing around with the obvious web/cgi stuff with it, I wrote a scraper and ported an implementation of the ARC4 encryption scheme. (define (crypt data key) [...]
