Some pages about some stuff and things…
You’d think it would be harder, but it’s not. Not that it’s documented well anywhere, which is why I’m writing this.
And that’s it.

So I’m updating my laptop to reflect the same environment as my servers - which means getting rid of macports. Part of the process was to update all the rubygems we’ve got installed. I tried to ‘gem up libxml-ruby’ and was disappointed to see
[rts-mbp:~] ryan$ sudo gem up libxml-ruby

Turns out after a bit of digging around in the Makefile that the INCPATH doesn’t include the correct path to xmlIO.h, which is /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlIO.h.
ln to the rescue. Just do
sudo ln -s /usr/include/libxml2/libxml /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/universal-darwin9.0/libxml
and libxml-ruby will build fine!

Ok Firefox.
Somehow you decided to disable keywords and it took me a few days to remember how to fix this.
No more. Never again. And for all the other folks this happens to, all you need to do is:
Then rejoice as things work as expected again. If you’re looking for a great entry for keyword.URL, use YubNub - you’ll never look back.
So my daughter Emma is 4 now, and her ruby iMac is on its last legs. It’s been up on blocks for a couple months now, and I just can’t seem to get it to boot off anything but the internal drive so I can upgrade the OS to something past 10.2.8.
What a pleasure that I just happened to run across the Stay At Home Dad iMac Give-Away contest being run by Mike over at his blog Stay At Home Dad, Geek Style, in concert with Sittercity, which I’d never heard of before, but looks quite interesting, given the need for babysitters with a 4 year old in the house.
What’s on the line? One of these babies:
A brand new, unopened 20″ Apple iMac. It has a 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1 GB of memory, a 250 GB hard drive, an 8x SuperDrive, and an awesome 20″ glossy display. It ships with an Apple Mighty Mouse, a sexy new Apple keyboard, an Apple Remote for controlling the included Front Row software (which turns your computer into a full-on media center), and as dutifully noted on Apple’s iMac page, a power cord (duh!).
If you’d like to enter Mike’s Stay At Home Dad iMac Give-Away contest, visit his site for the rules and enter. It’s a rather interesting contest, as he’s giving out “tickets” based on doing certain things, like writing an initial post like this one is worth one ticket and is required to enter. There are other opportunities to earn a ticket.
* make extra posts about the contest for 1 ticket each
* put a Sittercity banner on your sidebar and get 5 tickets
* bid on DevDad’s ads and get 1 ticket per $1 bid
* chip in for DevDad’s dream set-up and get 2 tickets per $1 chipped in
* like the contest page on stumble upon and get 1 ticket
You’re also encouraged to use this graphic:
Which I am so doing as to appease the contest gremlins.
All in all, it’s an interesting way to run a contest, and I’m all for a little link love for chances to win Apple hardware, which is the pinnacle of industrial design, which runs, in my opinion, the best consumer OS on the planet. (Server OS would have to be Solaris.)
Wish me luck, and I might just have to put up a little extra chrome to help out my odds and get some more of those golden tickets!

I saw a FSM icon, clicked on it, and ended up here. Probably some useful stuff here, but sheesh - not something for the kiddies to be digging around in.BackTrack is the result of the merging of two Innovative Penetration Testing live Linux distributionsWhax and AuditorCombining the best features from both distributions, and paying special attention to small details, this is probably the best version of either distributions to ever come out.
AntiRSI is a program for Mac OS X that helps prevent RSI (repetitive strain injury) and other computer related stress.
Scribble, I can. Draw? Notsomuch.Don’t worry if your drawing abilities aren’t up to snuff, all that’s required here is the ability to scribble!
To make it all happen in one shot, follow the same procedure (type “.”, type your message, tab, type “large type”) but then hit CTRL+ENTER and it will save the “large type” command. Then you get a new list, from which you can select “run after delay”. Slick huh?
