The tool is based on this blog post rant.

And yet most text editors offload these important tasks to the operating system or implement half-hearted custom solutions. Even worse, third-party plugins frequently implement file-jumping functionality for different frameworks with unique, cryptic key mappings (e.g. between implementation and test or controller and view template). This is a core task! Editors should approach it with the same innovation and care they spend on basic text entry.

It has fuzzy-style pattern matching and even shows your git versioning status next to the file. Nuff’ said, watch the short screencast and try for yourself!

So, after you are clean from MacPorts legacy, give homebrew a kickstart with smeagol!

Period. I won’t port to Windows because I can’t, not because I hate people who use Windows. It’s just too hard. It’s not like people TRY to make bad software for Windows. It ends up bad because if you have to spend all your time just fighting to get the most basic functionality working, of COURSE you’re not going to have any time to polish.

Anyway, we can use that now (conveniently) with Squeeze! And as a matter of fact, it’s currently free for MacHeist-Users.

Best thing? It makes my mac even faster. CPU is no problem – but SSD space is

Let’s introduce FocusApp!

Yes, thats all. Enter some text you wanna be reminded of. It’s there as long as you wish, and hopefully it makes you a sore conscience if you slip away to something different than you should. For now, its Snow Leopard only, download it now.

It’s open source (new BSD) and on GitHub.

Disclaimer: FocusApp is really my first Mac app, besides all the iPhone stuff. It’ll will get more features eventually, but for now it just works, simple and beautiful.

Planned Features:

• Keyboard support
• History and Persistence
• Flashing Text (to remind more obtrusive)
• Sparke
• About Screen

So, after you read the nice error message from setup.exe, just navigate to Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple and install BootCamp64.msi from there.

Apple, your policy sucks sometimes.

You can imagine, i did it, because native booting into BootCamp was broken after some Vmware Fusion Betas (prior 3.0).

Windows 7 is unable to boot after repair, and mac os booting is DEAD SLOW. It’s taking minutes to bring up the login, then locks up for another few minutes. Check console if you are affected:

19.11.09 10:51:20 configd[14] InterfaceNamer: timed out waiting for IOKit to quiesce
19.11.09 10:56:15 /usr/libexec/hidd[48] Timeout waiting for IOKit to be quiet

There was something broken with EFI or Boot RAM. Took me a while to fix, although it’s pretty easy: reset SMC and PRAM

These reset stuff has fixed nealy every low level problem that I had in the last few years. Yet it’s strange.

What do we learn? Keep Windows where it belongs: In the virtual machine. (where no harm can be made)

Remember, it DOES NOT make sense for a device with no monitor attached! You want VNC then.

If you run macs only, there’s teleport. It’s free and supports encryption, although setting up the encryption is somewhat difficult. (be sure to remove all known screens and readd them after setting up your private certificate)

teleport works really well and is my perferred choice.

Well, if it happens that you have windows or linux on your desk, then synergy is for you. And there’s a nice mac installer too. Synergy was not updated for three(!) years now, but seems it does it’s job pretty well, and the mac port is actively maintained. (including snow leopard support).

Setting up one of these tools is quite similar, you need to add screens, synergy needs your own server name (network name) as screen and every client that you want connect, like this:

There are several tutorials for synergy, check them out if you need help.
