Don’t cut&paste and drink
Sunday, June 25th, 2006After installing Xcode 2.3 Trung and I had some background processes runing mad. It turned out it was the bfobserver daemon used for distributed network builds (distcc?). As allways google had the answer. It was this post on the apple mailing list Evil Post. As you may imagine, we read about disabling the daemon (using the wrong way). And yes, disbaling _ALL_ your daemons is a bad thing(tm). On the bright side, I learned a lot about the boot process of OSX ![]()

Railsday 2006 is over
Sunday, June 18th, 2006
Railsday is over and I had no sleep for the last 20 hours! But we (Trung and me) managed to create something and commit the stuff just in time. Rails is/was a contest where we had 24 hours time to create an web application based on the fantastic framework Ruby on Rails. There was a lot of Apple stuff to win and damn I wish we won. Our submission called Cockpit is a virtual desktop manager inside a browser where one can load any external site in a new small (resizeable) windows. Just in case one wants to keep an eye on some sites at the same time.
I need some sleep…
