For developer needs, i usually have the latest web-browser installed on my system. I’m also using Chromium (the open-source version of Google Chrome) and some times ago I have found a little application called ChromiumUpdater, useful to keep Chromium updated. The application stopped working because the download path of the last version of Chromium has changed.
Playing with Address Book on Mac and the syncing feature, I have found a bug/memory leak into the AddressBookSync process.
I’m using Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and after some sync with my phone/OSX/etc, I have found my Mac completely unusable, with the CPU and RAM saturated by the AddressBookSync process.
If you want some custom made ringtones, chose your MP3, convert to M4A, rename the file to M4R then drag it in iTunes and sync. That’s it. Under linux I’m using for the conversion stuff soundKonverter, but you can choose your preferred software… 🙂
If you have to use Xdebug but you don’t want to “going crazy” with manual building from sources or with pecl, you can download a binary version of Xdebug from the ActiveState website (get the PHP Remote Debugging archive for your OS and use the binary version according your PHP Read more…
If you have your vm hosted on a NTFS partition and the mount.ntfs-3g is eating all your CPU power, try to update the NTFS 3G to the last version and add to your .vmx file this config line: mainMem.useNamedFile=FALSE
Tipicamente utilizzo la tecnologia di virtualizzazione, l’amministrazione remota e tutta una serie di tecnologie correlate, ma Synergy è stato in grado di impressionarmi. Ed in questi giorni, trovare qualcosa che mi impressioni, è decisamente raro 🙂
Se siete famigliari con il concetto di doppio monitor, dovreste sapere di quanto questo setup aumenti la produttività: uno schermo più grande vuol dire più applicazioni aperte allo stesso tempo, nessuna perdita di tempo a cercare applicazioni perse sulla barra di avvio, ecc…
Synergy è un programmino client/server, multi piattaforma ed open source: permette di condividere una tastiera ed un mouse tra diversi computer (Mac, Windows, Linux/Unix) tramite la rete (TCP/IP).
In sostanza, usando Synergy è come avere un sistema multi monitor tradizionale ma con diversi sistemi operativi dietro ogni monitor. Basta scrivanie piene di mouse e tastiere, con Synergy una tastiera ed un mouse saranno sufficienti per controllare tutti i vostri personal! (senza dover spendere un quattrino con “stupidi” switch KVM).
Oltre a questo, Synergy permette di condividere anche la clipboard!
Well, I’m used to virtualization technology, remote desktop management and all this kind of stuff, but Synergy is something that amazes me. And in these days, find something that impresses me, is quite unusual 🙂
If you are familiar with the dual monitor concept, you know the level of productivity you can reach with this setup: a bigger desktop means more applications opened at the same time, no time lost searching into your task switcher and so on…
Synergy is a little client/server application, cross platform and open source. The goal of this piece of code is to share one keyboard and one mouse between multiple machines (Macs, Windows, Linux/Unix) via TCP/IP.
With this fantastic application, you can experience the benefit of a multi-monitor setup with multiple OS. No more useless mess on your desk, only one keyboard and one mouse (and no more expensive and “stupid” KVM switches)

If you are using Firefox on Apple OS X and you are experiencing problems viewing the Flash content (you cannot see the Flash embedded content, you can see something only moving the mouse pointer over it, sometimes…), you must have the Adblock Plus add-ons installed. This is a not very Read more…
I was a great fan of Kmail email program, but recently I have to use Mozilla Thunderbird (manly because now I’m cross platform AND cross OS: Kmail is only for the Linux/KDE flavor). Thunderbird is powered by a great spam (junk) mail filter: you can enable it from the account’s Read more…
Era da un po’ di tempo che cercavo una soluzione per sincronizzare il mio calendario con tutte le mie applicazioni e devices. Avere un calendario aggiornato su cellulari, PDA e diversi sistemi operativi (e relative applicazioni) non e’ per nulla semplice. Attualmente, uso almeno 3 sistemi operativi quotidianamente (Linux/KDE, OS Read more…
