Noise from the Basement

My grade 1 daughter explaining why she sleeps in on school days but has no trouble getting up at the crack of dawn on weekends:

“My bed is more comfier on school days than the weekend.”

This replaces my previous install instructions for Synergy. With the latest Synergy 1.4.5 Beta release it’s even easier to install on the Mac because you no longer need to install QSynergy.

Just a reminder that I am running Windows 7 desktop and Mac OS X 10.6 on a MacBook Pro.

There are still bugs with this Synergy such as double clicking on the Mac not working and copy pasting only working from Windows to the Mac but not the other way around.  I’m a bit behind the Mac upgrade curve and am still using 10.6 X.  Maybe upgrading to Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion).

My daughter’s classmate to his teacher:

“My plans are unpredictable.”

Perfect saying for a T-shirt.

At SaturdayMP, we will be happy to put a copy of Mini-Compressor under your proverbial tree!

With Mini-Compressor, you can shrink those pictures of your adorable kids and email them to Grandma!  Or compress your wedding pictures from last summer to share with your cousin overseas.

We like to think of it as gifting forward.  Glad we could help.

My notes for installing Ruby on Rails on 3.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.  This is not a tutorial or a how-to, just the notes I took as I tried to get Ruby on Rails up and running.

1. By default Ruby 1.8.7 is installed on the Mac and I’ve installed X-Code 4.

2. Surf the web a bit and find this website that talks about Mac Ports.  Download and install Mac Ports.
