New MacBook

posted by AJ

So this week was pretty good so far. First off, I’ve gotten the A/C all week since my parents asked me to house sit. Anyone that’s been to my apartment knows how hot it gets when it’s hot out, so a change of pace is helpful! Secondly, we got our profit sharing checks at work. Which means, what can I buy….Well this time it allowed me to purchase a much anticipated item, my MacBook!! I’ve been pushing it off for some time, but after I had some issues with Windows XP (for the last time) I decided that it was just time to go completely Mac. So I know have an Intel Mac Mini, which will probably become my desktop since it was my “Apple TV” and the MacBook will pretty much become my daily computer.� If you know of some good open-source applications I can add to my MacBook.� So far I’ve got Adium for an IM client, CyberDuck for FTP, TextMate (though I bought it) for editing, iTerm for Terminal, FireFox (obviously for web-browsing), also added Flock (since I’m addicted to it), Jing for screen capturing and sharing, and CocoaMySQL-SBG for editing MySQL GUI.. If you can think of others I would appreciate it!

My last post was how to add WYMEditor into your Rails app, however I noticed that I recorded it a little too big, so I will try to re-record it this weekend. I’ll also be working on a video show you how to install compile Ruby, Rails, Mongrel, and MySQL on Mac OS X. I followed a written tutorial, however, it can sometimes be rather confusing when you try to follow written instructions. :)
