For some weird reason I can’t see some files and folders on my FTP server using Cyberduck.
I know the files exist…
It seems there’s a date-related bug
Happy leap day!
After upgrading to Leopard, I could no longer launch Gimp or GimpShop.
There’s a quick fix for Gimp, for help see this screencast.
But GimpShop is a different matter
it seems.
Upgraded my MacBook to Leopard overnight. Looks like everything went well.
This looks useful:
Upload to Flickr with Quicksilver
The QS plugin page is here.
I still need to try out the new Flickr Uploadr that was released a couple of weeks ago.
I’m playing around with WordPress themes today
Currently displaying is a Mac theme to celebrate this year’s move to a MacBook.
It snowed a little bit today… about half a millimeter.
Today’s attempt to use the USB modem GlobeTrotter Connect with my MacBook failed. I had the right PIN and the right software. But couldn’t connect.
The preferences revealed a dialog box with input fields for an APN, a username and a password. I checked the help. There was no explanation what APN stands for… and whether […]
I just installed GIMPshop on my (no longer new) MacBook. And the interface looks a lot simpler.
And I received a Skitch invite. I don’t like the pink heart icon much. Kitsch.
But I somehow managed to get past that and watch the introductory video (!). The features look very useful. It offers a direct upload […]
Scrolling Ad Infinitum:
I discovered a new Flickr tool called Flickriver…
It loads all images into one long html page, i.e. you simply scroll down to view all pictures for a tag or group:
My contacts
My faves
Malawi group
Canon ImageBrowser to FlickrUploadr:
BTW, I’ve found a shortcut how to add photos from Canon ImageBrowser to Flickr Uploadr. In the ImageBrowser, […]
For local WordPress fun, I might install this package:
MAMP
Although Apache is already available.
The pre-installed Apache can be accessed like this:
Go to System Preferences > Internet and Network > Sharing
Select Personal Web Sharing or click Start.
Copy & paste the URL listed in the lower part of the dialog box into a browser. The corresponding HTML and […]
Today I installed Tomcat on my MacBook. In order to run a website with Java servlets locally.
Here are my non-developer notes, for my own future reference.
To check if Java is installed, open Terminal and type:
javac -version
In a previous session, I had already installed the Apple developer tools, which includes JDK 1.5.
Note: you’ll need […]
(half-geek plans)
Maybe I’ll try out this Wordpress theme over the weekend:
Whitespace WordPress Theme
And I’ve still got to figure out how to install and configure a Tomcat on a Mac.
And I still want to install MacFuse and MacFusion
The newness of my MacBook is decreasing rapidly. I’ve installed GIMP (works nice and zippy), GraphicConverter (useful for quick resizing of images), TextWrangler (an editor), MS Office 2004 (although I’m considering to install NeoOffice and use MS Office via Parallels only).
I had a look at the websites of Scribus and Inkscape, but I think […]
Here are some quick notes on installing a CVS client on my MacBook (for my own future reference):
Install CVS, if you haven’t done so already. It’s part of the Apple developer tools on Mac OS X Install Disc 1 called XcodeTools. To test if it’s installed, open Terminal and type cvs to get a […]
My new MacBook arrived last Monday. And I’ve started installing software and exploring. Slowly. A new laptop is like getting a new exercise book at school. An empty book equals an empty hard disk. And a new operating system is a new learning experience.
Software installed so far:
Firefox and Thunderbird
The latest version of Safari
Quicksilver […]
