Often the changes I do to my working copy are small and I don’t want to waste time with explaining what it is. So I’ve created a bash alias to do a commit with a generic message for me:
Adobe’s Invasive Software
I just removed the following LaunchAgents & Daemons from my Snow Leopard:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.CS5ServiceManager.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AAM.Updater-1.0.plist
Some useful command line tools
It’s about time I got myself familiar with some of the core UNIX command line tools. No matter how good the GUI applications look like and work, when using command line alternatives the stuff gets done faster and it’s less prone to error.
Setting up Access Point for my Wi-fi network
Today I’ve finally learned how to “bridge” two routers. One connecting to the internet trough ADSL and the second one providing Wi-fi on the other end of house, connected to the first one trough LAN. It’s pretty simple actually, yet without a guide I wouldn’t have done it - meaning either I am extremely stupid with computers!? - or the networking technology is not made for reasonably intelligent human beings.
Website updated
Finally I’ve cleaned up and updated this very website. It was in quite a poor condition - for a web developer’s website - content wise and software wise too.
Recent projects
A few days ago I’ve launched a new website for the Equal Money System project. The project is about a complete social and economic change, worldwide.
More productivity on a notebook?
I am realizing an interesting thing. When I work solely on my Macbook just with a mouse I get done much - and I mean it - much more work as opposed to when I work behind my desktop with a big 24″ screen.
Learning Access Control Lists
I am just studying ACLs in CakePHP. This is one of the most brilliantly written pieces of documentation I’ve read in my web dev career. And I don’t mean it ironically. Whoever written this - thanks man!
Unit testing/Test driven development
…really enjoying it. I have been doing unit testing sparingly for a long time, but just now I am really starting to take it serious. Every new functionality I add to a project/application I am working on I seal with sufficient unit tests. Also it’s much faster to develop and test business logic using tests than testing it trough GUI. I’ve been missing a lot!
I am still alive
I can’t believe the last post here is from May 2008. That’s quite a while.
