I found several funny features in Leopard when using multiple screens. This is how my setup looks like
Now when using spaces you get 8 screens to choose from. This is how the screen looks when tabbing F8.
It is possible to drag a window to all 8 screens. I am usually not allowed to drag a window from the mac screen up on the samsung screen if the window can’t fit in the samsung screen (samsung screen only has resolution of 1152 x 870). But there is not problem dragging windows in spaces.
By holding down shift while dragging a window, the window will be placed at same position just in the new space.
The other funny thing is when taking a screenshot it will take two pictures – one of each screen. Maybe this is standard for all os’s but it is a nice feature.
Just want to test a new plugin that should make source code nice and readable. Here is some RoR code:
def list
products = Product.find(:all, :conditions => {:color => "red"})
end
Nice.. it works… Testing PHP code..
function hello($name){
echo "Hello ".$name;
}
I had some trouble with the richtext editor in wordpress. It would not make linebreaks and paragraphs, even though I edited the code myself. Now I found out that the problem only occurs in safari. It works well in firefox. I dont’t know if the problem lies in safari or in wordpress javascript code.
I also experienced problem with gmail in safari. The live search in the To:, Cc: and Bcc field only works some times. It worked in the old gmail version and it is possible to switch to the old version by clicking the link “older version” in the upper right hand corner, but who does that? I have made firefox my default browser.
I was pretty exited about the Apple keynote yesterday. One thing that I especially was trilled about was the Time capsule device. I have been running leopard now since it arrived in the stores and I have never enabled Time Machine, even though I really want to. I have a noname NAS box with a 320 GB hard drive and it has given me nothing but trouble. The first thing I tried when I got it was to set up a ftp server. This was supposed to be very simple (but not for a computer engineer…).
After a few hours I got it working and the problem was more of a NAT-wireless-access-point-firewall issue.The box also supports samba. This I was were exited to try and it actually worked. I was able to connect to the harddrive and use it as an external harddrive – on my windows pc…… For somehow it does not work in leopard. By reading a bunch of threads I found out that I was not the only one with the problem. I can see the disk as a shared disk and I can se the folders, but no files in the folders. Some people wrote that it had worked in Tiger, which makes it even more wired. Now I’m thinking that the Leopard team turned that feature off, because they knew about the release of Time Capsule???
Anyway, as Jobs said “wires sucks” – not specific, but that was what he meant, I think Time Capsule is pretty cool. One thing I do not understand, is why they have not build in the functionality to plug it into a Hi-Fi stereo, like the Airport Express Base Station with AirTunes. I like to keep all my music on an external hard drive (and my Ipod), but that means every time I want to listen to music over my stereo, I have to connect (with a cable) to my external hard drive, which is very inconvenient. Jobs announced that the price for a 500 GB Time Capsule would be $300. How can that be 2.299 DKK?? The exchange rate is about 5, meaning it should cost around 1.500 DKK… I think 2.299 is to expensive, so I might just buy an Airport Express Base Station..
I have both a city bike, which is and old one-gear bicycle and a Wilier Evasion Tiagra race bike. Today I bought a new rear wheel for my old bike. I changed the cog wheel from 18 teeth to 16 teeth, meaning it is geared up. I was tired of spinning like a madman. With a new rear wing plus the wheel I offered about 650 kr. Thought that was a pretty good deal.
First blog entry.. Running WordPress (of course). This blog will be about everyday stuff – yep, nothing interesting.
