Jaime Funny IT HELL, The website is down

I could not believe how funny this video is, especially 2:30 minutes into the video when the Prairie dog appears:

I’m writing this blog entry just in case other people come across the same problem and can’t seem to figure out what’s going on.

I found it in Xcode 2.5 that hasn’t been fixed in the latest version of Xcode that I have, version 3.1.3.

The bug I’m referring to is when you create a target as a static lib output, then you change the target later to output a dylib. The problem is that everything looks fine… heck, it even puts a dylib in the file name extension, but the file is actually a static library.

You have to go to Terminal.app and use the file command to see that the file is in fact, a static lib and not a dylib. You may not notice the problem at first until you go to debug the project and notice some weirdness.

Hopefully, you haven’t gotten bit by this problem, but if you have, the only solution I found was to create a new target from scratch.

I bought a new computer and with it, the pain of having to recreate a new TimeMachine backup on my FreeBSD server. This time, I didn’t feel like creating a sparsebundle image on a local disk and copying it to my server. Why should I? I have plenty of space on the servers.

So, in search on the Internet, I found this perfect set of instructions that show you how to create a sparseimage on you local machine and copy it to your network drive, even if your local drive is not big enough to create a sparsebundle that is twice the size of your disk. Check it out: http://www.somelifeblog.com/2009/02/fixed-time-machine-backup-to-network.html

I have a PC and a Mac that I work with, but mostly I use the Mac.

Of course on the Mac, you can do a lot with the Terminal.app and Bash. For example, you can dump out a file listing into a text file:

ls *.cpp > ../implementation_files.txt

When I was in college, one of the only courses I remembered was microbiology. I loved that class.

One day, the professor asked a question that I actually knew the answer to. I answered and he didn’t say anything for 5 seconds.

He looked at this class and asked, “Does anyone know what an expert is?”

We were all quiet. “An expert is someone who makes something simple extraordinarily complex”.

I’ll always remember that moment.

I know there are people who right now are nodding their head and saying to themselves, “I know someone like that. Errrr…”

I met my wife and son who were at the beach playground. When my toddler saw me, he got excited and ran around in circles, then bolting off in the direction of a dirt path that led to a gas yard.

A toddle can’t run that fast so I followed him and as he was running, giggling down the path, 3 mosquitos attach themselves to his back. Aaah!

I quickly put my right forearm between his legs and used my left arm to hold his shoulder, hoisting him up and running out of that area.

My son is laughing hysterically as I am running, carrying him back to the playground and my wife sees us running towards he. She doesn’t know what going on but she sees the swam of mosquitos behind me as I get closer to her. She watches them trail me as I pass her.

They didn’t care for my son so much when I put him down next to the slide, but they got a wiff of me and they wanted blood!

“You know, only females suck blood.”

Great! Bloodthirsty females with wings chasing me around a playground

I just removed the Google AdSense content from my website and it feels good. Kind of like a guilty good

I support capitalism. I love capitalism! And making money is a good thing, but sometimes it’s too much.

I like some of the commercials and I click on the ones that appeal to me, but when there is a dancing girl or a woman who looks surprised in a video window, distracting you from reading the article on the page, I just get annoyed and click on my Adblock+ button.

I like you Armstrong, but that stare is creeping me out

There’s a lot of good stuff on the Internet, but there is also some creepy stuff out there
