Debian Linux and OSX Leopard Screen Sharing
As the developer toolbox grows, you’ll start to have “fun times” connecting to all the test machines. Of course there are times when you just want to use one keyboard and mouse. My desk would be a nasty place to hang out without SSH and VNC.
Imagine, if you will, a debian based gnome desktop. Nice, they have remote desktop built-in. Hey, lets connect to our nice OSX box which also has VNC client/server built-in. Oops. Doesn’t work.
Just make sure you setup your OSX Leopard preferences as follows in this screenshot:
On your Linux desktop you’ll need to install the apt package version of xtightvncviewer:
box$ sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer
You’re good to go. Connect to your OSX box now.
box$ xtightvncviewer [ip address]
Nicole Uphoff – Photo Stylist
Another site complete! We been on a roll lately wrapping up a lot of ongoing projects and we’re pretty deep into some pre-production on some other majors ones. But Nicole Uphoff – Photo Stylist was one that I wasn’t sure was every going to get wrapped up!
Nicole approached us months and months ago as she needed a new portfolio site, she wanted it to be clean and open and just focus on her work. After mulling over some flash options, we put the project aside while we waited for Nicole to come back to us with the photos for the website.
By the time we got the content from Nicole, we’ve moved onward with new technology and a better solution based on the exciting things that people are doing with JavaScript and AJAX these days, and we built the site instead using such.
Loads fast, easy to update and looks sweet! We present to you Nicole Uphoff – Photo Stylist
Erin’s Simple Solutions
Erin’s Simple Solutions came to us via word of mouth from some friends from college who now live in Los Angeles. Her problem was simple… “almost all other personal organization coordinators websites are awful…”.
We were glad to help :) Erin’s new site provides a form on the right hand bar of each site, a new logo, color scheme, and blog where Erin will be posting her latest projects as they come along.
Flash opening Module for Stratasys
This page opener is for the people at Stratasys who wanted a Flash built, eye catching opening module for their home page which allows the users to view a preview of 4 topics and then click into any of them to view more.
This is part 1 of 2, the 2nd will be re-directed towards a different demographic.
Expanding the portfolio
Hi there! If you are a friend or client or any other regular visitor to Sine Interactive, you know that while we are trying to get this site up and fully functional, that work keeps getting in the way :)
I gave up a few hours of sleep this morning to push ahead with building out the Banner/Flash Advertistments section of the portfolio.
Just another aspect of what Sine Interactive has to offer as we strive to offer something for everyone.
OSX Leopard SVN client outdated – Komodo
Recently in a middle of a debugging frenzy, I thought I would up the ante and use some more powerful tools. Of course, most of the time all you need is CLI and a nice text editor. Textmate, for life. So the said extra juice is provided from the latest offering from ActiveState. Komodo IDE is great cross-platform fun, so it seems like a great fit. Oh, did I mention their editor is free (and doesn’t suck)?
Meanwhile, I’m excited to fire up an Xdebug session. I drop my svn repo into the project, done. Wrong, it barfs up an error svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.'; please get a newer Subversion client
Looks like there is a different format in the way that local working copies are stored for SVN 1.5, which Leopard does not have installed. OK, I’ll just grab the latest update from Apple. Wrong. CollabNet to the rescue for putting together a separate universal binary.
Go grab it: http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/community.
The new version is installed in /opt, so go ahead and add it to your path. Easier yet, just point Komodo IDE to the new bin directory.
SVN Binary Location
Now go forth and watch the glorious repo status icons populate, sweet!
