Mac OS X tips Mon, Jun 25. 2007
The essential Mac OS X freeware list Sat, Jun 23. 2007
It's now official - I'm a Mac user. After flirting with Ubuntu Linux for a year, watching Knut Sætre (my coworker) use his MacBook Pro and reading all the switch stories around the net I decided time had come for a change. So far, I'm definitely not regretting anything. OS X seems to me like Plug 'n Play the way it was supposed to work. Everything integrates out of the box, and I've so far never even SEEN the word "driver".
I've always meant that my "work computer" should work without fiddling and never need tweaking. This was the reason I waited so long to try Linux, and this is exactly the reason I love OS X.
As those who know me might know, I love researching stuff on the net. In addition to that, I've also got a personal policy of always using freeware when it does the job - my own way of avoiding pirated software. It also helps freeware authors get a nice user mass, so I can't say I feel sorry for NOT buying commercial alternatives.
So one of the first things I did (actually before I received my black new-model MacBook with 2GB ram) was researching for apps I needed. And now, after actually testing them I figured I might publish my findings, so others could benefit from it as well.
So here it is, my list of Mac OS X "must have" freewares:
So I made this MVC-framework in 27 lines of code... Mon, May 28. 2007
It started as a generic include-script for the redesign of my commercial homepage, Pedersen Mediaconsult and suddenly I got an epiphany. ![]()
Introducing... The OneFileFramework, a complete (well, sort of) web framework in PHP that consists of ONE single file (index.php) consisting of 27 actual code lines. ![]()
The webpage I set up for it (and the demo) pretty much explains it all (form validation, MVC-orientation and so on). I haven't set up any way of providing feedback for it yet, though. So I'd like comments to be posted to this blog entry.
I'd especially like to hear if anyone can find a way to fool OFF into security attacks using the $p parameter.
Reorganizing my life... again Sat, Apr 28. 2007
During the last couple of months, GMail has had several hiccups. And when Google homepage suddenly lost all my gadgets for two days recently, I figured I might look into the desktop application approach to organizing my life again. I've also experienced that having "tools" in the same browser that contains tabs with social networks and news is pretty counter-productive in the long run. ![]()
