Leopard + SVN + Terminal

I don’t know what made me type “svn help” into Terminal but it actually worked, and I don’t remember installing Subversion on Leopard, so I did a little searching and found out that Leopard comes with Subversion installed, thats actually pretty sweet.

On my Windows machine, I used Subversion a lot with my projects, but I used a GUI client called TortoiseSVN, but on Mac I haven’t been able to find a feature-rich GUI client.
so I’ve been using the Command line for Subversion through the Mac OS Terminal, and I have to say its not as hard as I first thought, It’s actually pretty easy.

Firefox sucks

Yes, you read the title right, I said Firefox sucks, Let me give you  a minute to cool off after reading that.

Since I moved to Mac OS X I’ve been using Safari and I have to admit its the most beautiful thing I have ever used, besides Mac OS X itself.
Anyway, After using Safari for quite some time now, I decided to see how Firefox is on OSX, and I’m not too impressed, the interface looks like shit and I just cant live without the Safari autocomplete address feature..
So I don’t see myself using Firefox for a while…

WordPress + Safari = Bad

I use used the WordPress Visual Editor and Safari,
and it doesn’t look like Safari likes the WordPress Visual Editor.

It never adds line breaks or adds in the uploaded images the way it should, it pisses me off…

iChat effects suck

So I’ve been messing with the iChat effects and seeing what they do and I have to say some of them are absolutely shit.

Take a look at some of the background changing effects,

This looks more like beta software, and looks nothing like the guided tour or the keynote…

My Mac Desktop

Just thought I’d post a screenshot of my Mac, heheh…

iLove my Mac

I love my Mac so much, I’m not going to burden it with Windows on Boot Camp, I figure I bought it because its a Mac, not a Winblows machine, so I guess I’ll just have to turn on the shitty windows computer to play games. 

Things are different

So, while I’ve been using my Mac and getting used to it, I’ve started web-developing again.However I am unable to test my code locally so I have setup an isolated test area on my server and just hit the Command+Shift+U keys and it uploads my changes, then I just hit reload in Safari.It doesn’t bother me, it is kinda better than having Apache and MySQL eating into my ram.. 

Mac FTW

Been using my Mac so much I’m pretty good with this new keyboard, I can’t use my old one now, its too bulky, I’m getting used to the mouse too. I have to say, for someone who has been using Windows for about 7 years, Using a Mac for not even a day, I absolutely LOVE IT, I don’t know why I didn’t buy one years ago… 

World of Warcraft PvP

I’ve been on WoW all day in PvP Battlegrounds, So far I’ve gotten 3000 honor in a few hours, its totally awesome…

AMD now worth less than it paid for ATi

“AMD reached its lowest share price for more than four years last week and, as a result, its market value dropped to around US$5 billion – that’s $400 million less than it paid for ATI in July 2006.”

Thats part of an article on Neowin.net, I’ve been saying it for years - AMD SUCKS, and hopefully they won’t be around much longer :)

Full story here.

Get lost Windows.

I have to say, I am so god damn happy I am switching to a Mac - Windows has done it this time, no more bullshit now.

Today I was watching a DVD in Windows Media Player on one screen and playing World of Warcraft in window mode on the other screen, it was working fine for a while until Windows decides to lockup, freeze and crash, what I mean it - first everything locked up then a few seconds later it froze, nothing would work then both my screens go black and the green lights go orange, the only thing that fixed it was a full restart by pressing my favorite button the “Restart Button” on the computer case.

I really cant wait till I get my iMac, I wont have to put up with this piece of shit called Windows anymore.

Vista has worked good for me, but with all these little programs like games crashing, my network not working and all that shit - I just cant take it anymore, I SWITCH, goodbye Windows, goodbye Microsoft, I fucking hate you.

oops, I bought a Mac

Yes you read the title right - I said I bought a Mac, well actually ordered one, They were out of the 24″ iMac’s so I have to wait a few weeks.

But to be honest, I’m not sure if I should be excited or worried, Its costing me about $2,600, I thought I’d get the 24″ because its only a few hundred dollars more than that 20″ one.

I just hope it works, and Boot Camp isn’t a bitch and works when I need to use Windows…
