		<description><![CDATA[There's a thrill for me in the initial exploration of an idea, the initial design of a piece of software or web site, and in learning how to use new tools or pieces of software to build the thing that I want to build.  

... I don't hate that part of the work but it isn't nearly as interesting to me and it's hard for me to get up the motivation to do it, especially when I have a head full of other ideas to work on.    However, getting over that hump and dealing with the issues that arise as a site begins running and getting users, or a piece of software starts to get used by others - that captures my interest again - maybe not quite as much as the initial phase, but there are new problems and there are always unforeseen developments when other people start using a thing that one person has labored over on their own.  ...  I'm sitting in a hotel today having a very nice relaxing day away from home, and thankfully today's idea for something new is blocked by a lack of good domain names for it (rather than a surplus of self-control). <hr /><small>Copyright &#169; 2008-2009<br /> This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. <br /> The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright.

		<description><![CDATA[ Apple&#39;s first security update of 2009 for MacOS X may solve some security issues in the OS but it also seriously breaks Perl by installing old versions of some modules along with Perl.   It looks like Perl works okay for things that MacOS X uses it for, but if you do development using it or have installed other modules than what it came bundled with you may find that it no longer works. 


...You&#39;ll probably need to download it from  CPAN  by hand as the  CPAN  shell itself is broken by the update. 


 The current version (as of the time I&#39;m writing this article) is 1.2301 - you can find it at  http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/IO-1.2301/IO.pm

		<description><![CDATA[Usually you'll use it to execute a single command:    sudo dmesg    or to start a shell:    sudo -s     sudo  is similar to the  su  command - the  su  command also allows you to become another user (most likely root). ...  Next, load  /etc/sudoers  in your favorite text editor, and add a line to it that looks like this:   USERNAME ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD: ALL   Replace  USERNAME  with your short username (so in my case, my username is  romkey  or  johnromkey  rather than  'John Romkey' ).   You can find your username with the  who  command - but if you don't already know what it is or who to find it, you probably shouldn't be disabling passwords on  sudo  in the first place.  ...  There are other ways to do this (in particular, there are ways to say that anyone in a particular UNIX group can become use  sudo  without a password), but this is the simplest way to let a single user do this.  <hr /><small>Copyright &#169; 2008-2009<br /> This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. <br /> The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright.

		<description><![CDATA[I don't always have reliable online access when I'm coding - in particular, I was on a bus today for a couple of hours and didn't always have Internet access.   There are a couple of dashboard widgets for MacOS X which I found that helped out on the jQuery documentation front.  ...

		<description><![CDATA[The family pack is licensed for use for up to five machines in one household, and lists for $199, a pretty good deal for staying legal at less than the cost of two single user licenses. ...  At the time I wrote this, they were charging  $26 less than list for the single user edition  and  $44.51 less than list for the family pack , both with free shipping.  ...  You should be forewarned that, in my experience, the restore DVD that comes with a computer will only work with that computer or class of computers. ...  Amazon also has a pretty good deal on Leopard Server:  $104.51 off the 10 user version  (normal list price $499) and  $168.46 off the unlimited user version  (normal list price $999). <hr /><small>Copyright &#169; 2008-2009<br /> This feed is for personal, non-commercial use only. <br /> The use of this feed on other websites breaches copyright.
