Using Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981. And don't change it.

I admit it: I'm a bigot. A hopeless bigot at that: I know my particular prejudice is absurd, but I just can't control it. It's Apple. I don't like Apple products. And the better-designed and more ubiquitous they become, the more I dislike them. I blame the customers. Awful people. Awful. Stop showing me your iPhone. Stop stroking your Macbook. Stop telling me to get one.

Seriously, stop it. I don't care if Mac stuff is better. I don't care if Mac stuff is cool. I don't care if every Mac product comes equipped with a magic button on the side that causes it to piddle gold coins and resurrect the dead and make holographic unicorns dance inside your head. I'm not buying one, so shut up and go home. Go back to your house. I know, you've got an iHouse. The walls are brushed aluminum. There's a glowing Apple logo on the roof. And you love it there. You absolute monster ... read the full story here

Mac users - you will love this! It's the reason why I left Windows a long time ago!

All the cool kids are using Fish, so why can't I? BASH is so 90's. Cause it won't fracking install on my copy of Snow Leopard, dang it. I spent the greater part of this weekend trying to figure out why Fish didn't like me. Read this so you won't have to endure my pain.

port install fish

wouldn't install. ports/fish kept asking for iconv, gettext, or whatnot. 64-bit/32-bit unix apps don't play well together in Snow Leopard, and because I upgraded from Leopard and I needed to reinstall ports to deal with it. Long and painful, indeed. You, though, can do this with 60 seconds of typing:

1. Reinstall ports (via http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration)

a. Save the list of installed ports:

port installed > myports.txt

b. Clean any partially completed builds, and uninstall all installed ports:

sudo port clean all
watch football/do laundry/deshell next week's pistachios
sudo port -f uninstall installed

c. Browse myports.txt and install the ports that you actually want to use (as opposed to those that are only needed as dependencies) one by one, remembering to specify the appropriate variants:

sudo port install portname +variant1 +variant2 ...

2. Install fish

port install fish

3. Make it default

append "opt/local/bin/fish" to the /etc/shells file
utilize accounts.prefpane, unlock it, right click your icon, and set your shell to "opt/local/bin/fish"

4. Voila! Enjoy fish!

For a more on Fish, here's an old Ars Technica article, and a lwn.net article.

According to Flickr, I snapped this late July '06. I can't believe it's been that long.

I use a Fluid app to engage with Google Wave. The TC Wave has links to how to do this but the TC Wave is becoming harder and harder to navigate and find things. So here's the blog post with links to how to integrate Fluid and Wave and Growl.

Download Fluid then drop by Guillermo Rauch's devthought blog for how to create the app (plus a link to a very nice Wave icon to use for your Fluid app). Then if you're interested in Growl notifications when new messages arrive at your waves, install Growl and then add this script to your Fluid app. (Guillermo's page describes how to install a script in a Fluid app.) Growl notifications only work when your Fluid Wave app is open. 

I'm happy with the Fluid Wave app performance and I've had no serious problems. It can be slow but no slower than Firefox (3.0.15). I have heard Chrome is snappier but I don't think Google has released an official Mac OS X Chrome yet.

Please add any useful links about Fluid, Growl, Wave etc.
