I came across an interesting pastie to setup two often-used Subversion tasks inside a Rails project. I decided to add my own twist to it and namespace the thing. I think it can be very helpful, rock it!

Mac OS X 10.6
Ohhh … brrrrrrr … I love reading all the Apple gossip out there! I just read a tiny post about the next version of Mac OS X, which has never been discussed, is at least 1.5 year away, is unknown to anyone and already I want it! Continue reading
People enjoying their Space Babies
Recently I have sent out stickers by post with basic building blocks of ‘Space Babies’. They’re a huge hit! After the break you can see xhtmlized‘s Dave Rosen enjoying his baby. So sweet! Continue reading
Waiting for the smoking ban
In six weeks time, Holland will join the other developed countries of this world and the smoking ban in bars and restaurants will go in effect. And recently I have found myself more and more annoyed by people smoking. The funny thing is, I never used to be anti-smoking like this. In fact I considered it quite normal (though having never smoked myself) for people to smoke. Continue reading
Facebook hookup
I completed a hefty process of hooking Facebook up to a Rails application. Now that it’s done I am so proud. Read the entire saga on bembamedia.

Ack, I bought the iMac!
So … I am a sucker! I went ahead and bought the iMac I wanted. I am a sucker, I know. So far it’s an awesome piece of hardware. (knock on wood) no dead pixels, no software flaws, it’s fast and teh awesome! Also, I wanted to share this great tip to show the date in the Mac menu bar. I still can’t believe this is not easier to do.
In the mood for hardware
I am not sure why but I am in the mood for some new hardware. Oh wait, it might be those cool new iMacs. Yep I definitely want to get one of those. The high-end 20 inch model works best for me I think. So now the age-old question: get one ASAP or wait a month for the first production bugs to be ironed out? Decisions … decisions!
