Ubuntu 10.04 look and feel

I’m a mac user, I use mac everyday for many hours .. but when I installed latest Ubuntu (10.04) I said ‘wow!’.

The look and feel is really gorgeous!

It’s better than osx in my opinion :)

I would switch but .. I haven’t still found a good editor in Linux :(

Try it! :)

Boot VMWare Fusion from CD

On my mac I have VMWare Fusion installed with two virtual machines, one windows xp and one linux xubuntu.

I would like to boot xubuntu VM from an ISO but the bios splash screen is really fast on VMWare :)

So I found this trick to force the VM to enter in BIOS configuration.

Go to the VM file, show package content, edit the file .vmx adding this line:

bios.forceSetupOnce = “TRUE”

That’s all! On the next boot the VM will go into the BIOS configuration .. useful! :)

"I hate when I install a gem and it has dependencies that I have not!"

— It’s really stupid! Why install a ruby gem if I can’t use it because you used others gems and you didn’t specify dependencies?!? I have to look at the code! It’s really stupid!

Google Font API

I really like this tool! It’s useful and confortable, I’m a bit afraid of ‘google dependence’ .. but they offer really useful tools and there aren’t alternatives (or they are worst)

New Mac Book Pro

Hi all!

I became mac user in 2005, I really like macs and today arrived the last one!

The new Mac Book Pro 17” :D

I decided to customize it with Intel Core i7, with 7200 rpm hard disk and with anti glare monitor.

I have just unboxed it so I can’t say anything about that, I’ll tell you anything in the near future. Now I have to set it up (a quite boring thing), but honestly my old one (another mbp 17”) is quite un-usable and also during day-to-day operations is quite slow :(

I had some problem to find how to track the shipping, but at the end I found it in a forum!

My mac was shipped with TNT and I suppose yours too, so to track your pack you can paste this address in the browser and put in the end the shipping number (arrived by email from Apple): http://www.tnt.com/webtracker/tracking.do?respLang=en&respCountry=GENERIC&genericSiteIdent=.&searchType=REF&cons=

:)

Rails Dispatch | Security

A nice reading about string escaping in Rails3. I knew that all string are escaped in Rails3 but I didn’t get that also the output of helpers will be. It does make sense :)
