Coda 1.6 and Subversion
Saturday December 6, 2008
Recently we have been pushing the use of Subversion at DesignHammer for our code. Problem for me is that I'm a very GUI type of person, so the command line isn't cutting it for me. Plus I hate the SVN contextual menu plug-in, seems to get confused when adding the ugly badges to the file and folder icons. BBEdit sucks at SVN; can't even check out a site/project from the "S" menu. I tried switching to TextMate, which handles SVN so much better, but I always find myself going back to BBEdit for one reason or another.
With the release of Coda 1.6, Panic built in the capabilites to use SVN. I was hesitant to try yet another text editor but I went for it. And man, am I glad I did! This app kicks ass in so many ways. It's definitely not perfect, but for a 1.6 release it has a lot to offer. The SVN support is awesome when compared to BBEdit and TextMate, and almost as cool as Versions, almost. Plus the code completion is great as well. The trial hasn't ran out yet (think I have 12 days left), but I'm sure I'll end up buying it before it does.
iPhone syncing problems
Wednesday June 11, 2008
I recently got an error message in iTunes that basically said “iTunes could not sync data to the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected”. Of course restarting didn’t work. And I didn’t find any cache files that I could delete. So I did a quick google search and found this easy fix.
This worked for me: Go to Applications > iSync > Preferences > Reset Sync History

The U.S. vs John Lennon
Thursday July 12, 2007
After watching this movie I couldn’t help to wonder; is history repeating itself? Not that we’re about to start a revolution, even though we probably should. But we have a government with no intentions of listening to it’s people. They know best and the blind will follow.
I had no idea the amount of trouble, or threat, John presented to the Nixon administration. I’m surprised he wasn’t killed sooner. This guy had an IDEA that simply seems impossible. How is it, the powers that be want anything other than more money and more power? The idea of peace isn’t an option when your trying to control the world through greed.
But really, I have no true knowledge of U.S. politics, so how can I be a hypocrite and talk like I know something. Right?
“Lennon represented life and Mr. Nixon and Mr. Bush represent death.”

I did read a funny post today, not funny ha ha, but funny in that so many people are really starting to get upset with our administration. It’s called Bitter and it’s written by Greg Storey over at Airbag weblog.

Adobe Flash CS3 is Soooo Slow!
Monday June 11, 2007
Is it me, or does Flash CS3 run painfully slow in OSX? I can’t figure it out. I have a dual G5 1.8 with 3 GB’s of RAM! Is my machine to slow? It can’t be. Runs Photoshop CS3, fine why not Flash?
I did notice if I have over 800 MB’s of free RAM (plus the 200 or so that Flash needs) it runs a little better, but not always. I can’t seem to fine a true method to Flash’s maddness. Ahhh!
