ox :-)

Lately I have switch from OS X default shell bash to Zsh. There are a number of reasons why to use Zsh (if you wonder use google). As an Cocoa developer using Git I find myself typing the same commands over and over. I have a bunch of scripts doing more or less complicated tasks, so why not script the most simple task, open the current directory xcode project?

find “`pwd`” -name ‘*.xcodeproj’ -exec open {} \;

I now have the “ox” (open xcode) to open xcode projects. Thought I would share a simple thing that made me smile :-).

My company Fraction 4 got a new web site, check it out on
Fraction4.com. It is a work in progress so please don’t hesitate to send feedback. Since I am a programmer and not a designer, design feedback is very much appreciated.

More books

I have been reading Core Animation when having time over. Today I bought iPhone SDK development and Pragmatic Version Control Using Git from the Pragmatic programmers. I have been using Git for some time and I have to say that so far I like it. It’s very very fast and flexible. I also hope to learn some from the iPhone book. I guess it would have been a good idea to buy that book before I completed my first iphone app buy anyway, the Pragmatic Programmers produce great books and I am happy support them!

Thank you Time Machine

I’m glad I’m the stupid one, not Time Machine (or am I?).

A small note…

Today I begun testing an iPhone app I have been developing at late nights…

(I also managed to brake my drivers license into two parts)

ITunes 8 is genius

At first launch I got a dislike about the whole forced genre & genius sidebar. After some default magic the genre list was gone and I have really started to like the genius feature. The sidebar is a big no-no but the playlist are like.. genius. I am currently rediscovering my music collection. Good work Apple!

Like a sewing circle, but with cooler laptops.

NSScotland | Like a sewing circle, but with cooler laptops.: “Everyone is welcome, there are no joining fees or subscriptions.”

I have for as long as I remember had this romantic feeling about Scotland. I don´t know if it is the highlands, the pipes or the Whisky. Today I got that feeling in an enhanced version when stumbling on the NSScotland, a Mac developer network. What an logo, it´s stunning.

Might be a good idea to do something similar in Sweden. I do to want to be in a cool sewing circle!

ExpanDrive - Bring your remote files closer to home.

Bring your remote files closer to home.: “ExpanDrive gives you perfectly transparent access to open, edit, and save files with your favorite programs, even when those files are half a world away. Transparent means that you don’t even notice you’re operating on remote files—they act like they’re on an USB drive you plugged directly into your own computer.”

I recently downloaded ExpanDrive and so far I am very pleased with how it simplifies my workflow flow. In the past I done all my work with CLI style with installed ssh keys. I did try the MacFuse (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/) project but I stopped since it put DS Store files all over the place and I kind of diden´t mind using the Terminal. I think that you could set MacFuse to not store DS Store files, but at the time I diden´t have the energy to will power.

Since I have almost all my projects in my Subversion server and my “live” projects are working copies which I only run “svn update” on when I want to update them I don´t do a lot of file handling on the server. For me ExpanDrive is great since it manages to deliver transparent sftp without being in my face, it just works. I haven´t done a purchase yet (months of development without any salary haven’t been nice to my bank account :-( ). Well se if I buy it when the trial is ending and I hopefully are closer to ship my app!
