Keeping up to date on discussions

May 28th, 2006 Jacken No comments

I don’t know how many times I have read a thread that’s interesting, and then forget the URL. But now I use co.mments and it’s great. I have put an icon on posts on this site, so all you have to do is to press the co.mments button to keep track of a discussion.

Firefox 2 Alfa 3 Bon Echo

Firefox LogoAfter trying the latest pre-release version of Firefox, I’ve switched over completely. It’s amazingly fast! There are some bugs, like problems of making the browser windows active when switching between applications, but I don’t care. It’s so fast that I can put up with that.

I had totally given up on Pearl Jam

May 27th, 2006 Jacken No comments

The last couple of albums of Pearl Jam pretty much sucked. I’ve seen a lot of links to their new music videos, but I just ignored them. But they’re back! I’m actually going to buy the new CD. I haven’t bought a CD since I bought Henry Fiat’s Open Sore a year ago… [gv data="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DvgAAAG7ggqAHSiJjpW0D3w4aYTVhnhtRNWE0MyRQp3IfM-QsTnyzS0dRlbfae86pQtrE1wOrbSl7BmSHXBAlb78vCHIh4R1Ypsx1rdOaID4YuH88ZHcOhB3T-KNsnZ29YzNJk5om6PoXg3LsRqdgMKUVL5HDqsEHhhFMDCtFLJ4o03ZlnSM08fc2U3R0f-sHKM4TL8KF3GkL67V-FjdiVJcySdS-JMobaZxZAPA6pUJvLlqWytzPAhBuvmOFx3hdw9g%26sigh%3DcxLc3WsmkwBqVsRUtp7jefvCLM%26begin%3D0%26len%3D237269%26docid%3D6187666924357770983&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer%3Fapp%3Dvss%26contentid%3Da6478c422f838c32%26second%3D5%26itag%3Dw320%26urlcreated%3D1148715648%26sigh%3DxBBRTBJ00TiNlX56YlUM9tBJopM&playerId=6187666924357770983" &playerMode=embedded"][/gv]

GTD, Ruby on Rails and the Mac

May 25th, 2006 Jacken 45 comments

There’s been a lot of buzz on the internet about a method to Getting Things Done. I use an simple and elegant solution called Tracks. It’s made in Ruby on Rails, so to set it up can be a pain for the more technically challanged. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to set it up using Locomotive. No terminal commands needed! Read more…

DarwinPorts

May 25th, 2006 Jacken No comments

I’ve been trying to install the latest version of Ruby on Rails on my 10.3.9 Panther server with no luck. First I tried to install from source, but RubyGems refuses to install. So I tried to install from DarwinPorts, with the same problem. Very annoying.

Then I tried to install ettercap on my powerbook with 10.4. There I got a compile error. It seems a lot of install packages are broken.

I really like DarwinPorts, but there seems to be a quality problem on some of the packages.

LSD and drawing

Picture drawn under influence of LSDFirst drawingI’ve been reading a book about Cary Grant. He was one of the first 300 persons to go through clinical tests using LSD as a therapy tool. Today I found this on reddit, showing a man drawing during the influense of LSD. Interesting stuff.

I wouldn’t mind having the second and sixth picture hanging on the wall.
