Oh the humanity! Well, looks like my OSX "Jaguar" (Grrrrr) iBook has proved its worthlessness once again. I think my next machine is going to be a Sony VAIO. I've been pissing around trying to install Rails on my osx and it needs gems and gems just won't install. Just looked at the Windows side.. and I can't believe how much easier it is. I also just took a look at XAMPP and its Frikkin amazing. I mean Apache, Mysql, phpMyAdmin and a bunch of other shit. right out of the box. What else can a brotha ask for? I think I'm gonna get my windows machine a whirl. Now to the next decision. Sony Vaio or Panasonic 50 inch DLP?? they cost about the same. P.S. If you really want to be frikkin amazed, at how poetic a well written object oriented framework can be, go to Ruby On Rails On Windows site here. (inhale). And look at the recordings. Also, wouldn't it be nice, if a lot more people started doing their gui documentation via movies rather than attempts at trying to explain it with screen prints. I bet this actually takes less time to do (and we have the bandwidth nowadays to sustatain such documentation). 11:07:24 PM    comment [] The Taco Sez "You go through life, you try to be nice to people, you struggle to resist the urge to punch 'em in the face, and for what? So some pimply little puke can treat you like dirt because you're not on the team. Well, I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff." Moe Szyslak 3:39:12 PM    comment [] Should I? This kiwi blog is a treasure trove of information. I started reading it to get some info on the Ruby on Rails blogging app that the author(ess) wrote, but looks like there are a few other nuggets of information along with a Whole lotta attitude. Amen sista! I think I'll restart my blogging effort. But this time on TextDrive. lets see how this goes. One thing that I found on One Before was a reference to MacJournal. I had tried MacJournal before but not quite very recently. So I downloaded and gave it a whirl. Pretty Nice!! MacJournal has a [base "]full screen[per thou] mode, which reminds me of the green terminals of the years gone by. Even though I like the full screen mode, maybe I should revert back to the regular mode? I love the Green on Black though. So, I[OE]ll just keep typing like this. No distractions, no other windows to worry about. Just me and the text. yeah babay!! Next question: Should I pay for the following? MacJournal TextDrive TextMate ... ... ... ... ..1. .1.1. 3:28:41 PM    comment [] Less is More I've been trying to read the ruby code for the weblog app that Sarah Wedde has written. Its refreshing to see how little code there is. I think the philosophy behind the RoR framework and the language itself may have something to do with this. In any case, I'm going to try to decipher it.. I wish I had a a newere iBook! :( interesting reading when you're stuck in -30 degree weather in Toronto.. sometimes I wonder if I should go and live in NewZealand.?? 11:33:04 AM    comment [] You aint seen nuthin yet.. linky: The vessels 40 are also tubular and are adapted to telescopically engage about the lubricating rings 88 of the flanges 71. In addition, the upper end portions of the vessels have spider mounted ball bearing expansion rings 69 therein which are movably supported on the bodies of the nipples 38 to ride on the outer peripheries thereof as the vessels telescope up and down on the rings 88 of the flanges. Below the flanges 71, the vessels 40 have disc-like closure plates 45 therein which are apertured with a multiplicity of openings 43 that are controlled by a corresponding number of float operated check valves 46. The valves 46 are mounted in the openings 43 to open when the vessels are retracted, that is, raised on the corresponding nipples, and to float closed when the vessels are at rest at the top of their stroke, and to remain closed as the vessels are extended, that is, lowered on the corresponding nipples. And I thought I was a little kooky!... :) 11:25:37 AM    comment []
