Fascinating new development environment for building Objective-C Cocoa apps, called ObjCBrowser, based on a SmallTalk IDE. By Joe Osborn. (Thanks Mike!)

A very much improved MacCVSClient, v1.8, is released. (MacCVSClient has been around so long it has a 68k version. Wow. smile)

Happy birthday to you!!!!!

Anywhere.

Seeing as I'm hanging out in #openacs a lot these days, I wanted a better IRC client than Snak. Snak's ok and all, but it's Carbon and it shows. I found a new client that seems to be very much a Cocoa app, with most of the features you expect from an IRC client: Akwa.

Well, after a month of planning behind her back, I managed to pull off a (very nearly heart-stopping) surprise party for Jodi last night. Tomorrow is her actual birthday, but I had to do it early to get the most people here and to make sure she did not make other plans. With the collusion of a few friends in our church, I handed out invitations, arranged for a large cake, balloons, streamers, 30 guests, snacks, ice cream...

Heh. This is what I need.

Portable.nsd - run OpenACS behind Apache 2? In progress.

UNIX Shell Script Tutorials & Reference. Sometimes very useful.

Bill points to this set of articles at Dexterity.com. Designed for game developer's they seem to have really good content for other developers as well.

Jade Rubick hosts a page of links to OpenACS tips. Excellent.

Discussion on[#openacs](http://openacs.org/irc/log/2003-06-13None#T14-11-04) about ways to handle Form-to-Email in openacs without creating a spam-machine...

Consider this a bookmark:

I posted a message on the OpenACS forums regarding the behavior of the lookup code for <include> src attributes. So far there have been a few interesting responses.

On localhost: the notes tutorial, which takes you through creating a new package.

Anytime you move or change an XQL file that lives in the www folder, you're going to have to restart the server, so that the package manager can reload the XQL.

While hanging in #openacs tonight I got a quick tutorial from jim (no link) on handling debug variables with an in-memory table structure. Read about it starting here. Combined with a new form of fusion... I mean, combined with a <multiple> tag in the adp page it makes it easy to output a table of debug data.

I've started a new section on this site called Notebook. This is where I'll collect posts on interesting topics. My first notebook page is the OpenACS Notebook, where I'm collecting weblog posts, tips, tricks, and other useful information.

I'm learning OpenACS, and had to install PostgreSQL to support it. There are great instructions by Marc Liyanage here, as well as a StartupItem so that Postgres will launch on boot.
