That’s what this (yesterday, save draft) became, kinda, since there wasn’t much to do without a web server running. My Subversion respository is had through HTTPS, so I did feel comfortable working on code.
Watched a very silly movie with Veronica Lake on the TV.
Went into town. To the wrong Sweetwater’s Cafe to meet an Ed […]
Getting started on what will be a long project, by reading a book I’ve been meaning to read for a long time. Modern C++ Design, by Andrei Alexandrescu. I’ll be keeping notes on the matter in my Wiki, if it helps me to remember, and reading through Boost::Langbinding, Boost::Python, Luabind, and a few more, to […]
Think New Orleans is down for the next few hours. My mod_proxy configuration for Think New Orleans included the directive that turned the server into an open proxy. It was discovered two days ago, and my server has been a conduit for 70 GB of trash since then.
The proxy is closed, but I don’t want […]
Off to a good start on Langbinding for Ruby. Created a debugging Ruby and I’m able to trace into it in XCode. I’m surpised that I didn’t have to specify a source location, XCode/gdb found the source in the directory where I built Ruby.
CCFLAGS=”-g -O0″ ./configure –prefix=/er
That didn’t do the trick, since optimization was set […]
A journal about installing a meaningful Apache.
The blackbox format article at ONLAMP went onto my todo list. It is a well written article, but knowing nothing about Apache, or web traffic, I wondered why it didn’t appear to be referenced. What were these log files that my server keeps rotating good for? The author made […]
I use slrn to read news.
I’m reading USENET again because of shell and Ruby programming. I can’t read USENET, though. I must use a scorefile.
My setup is very simple. It is a standard SLRN with scoring turned on is all. I’m not one for changing key bindings, or a great many patches, since I’ll […]
I’ve not posted in a couple days. I’ve been working with Ant scripts. I don’t like to do this, nor do I think that it needs to be done. It feels like a perpetual motion machine project, some sorry nut trying to create a working Ant build, believing it is possible when it is not.
My […]
Getting started with C++ always stopped at the build environment. I couldn’t get past it. I spend my days at a Powerbook. I like OS X, but I like open source more. I don’t want to wed a project to XCode. Getting started with C++ means casting about for a build tool.
I use Ant, and […]
There are many bindings for Gtk2 including Ruby. This comes via a post by Roman Yakovenko on the boost listserv.
I could get started with UI development on Linux immediately, but I’d rather create that library of cross-browser primatives. This library will be a study in binding C to Ruby with UIs in mind.
The […]
Hmm… I’m creating my Ajax interface to Think New Orleans 2.0 and finding I can’t user the TAB key to move from link to link in either Firefox or Safari. Some quick research shows that Safari doesn’t allow full keyboard access to form controls either. Can’t seem to find that ability in Gecko. Oops. Here […]
