Here is how you install the owncloud server version on your osx server. I am using Mountain Lion right now. Make sure your web server is working by going to http://localhost/ Download the Community Edition at http://forum.owncloud.org/. You will need to click on a few links to get there. My version is 5.0.4 at this time. Then untar: tar -xvf owncloud*.tar.bz2 Then copy the folder owncloud to your web file directory. Mine is at /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/. ...

My only hardware design experience was back when I was in college using MAX+PLUS. It was confusing to me at best. Gone are those days. Today I came across circuits.io. Basically, you can make your circuit design in your browser! I can imagine one day circuit design can even become open source. [vimeo 50052950 w=650 h=400]

Recently I came across this currency exchange peer-to-peer service called CurrencyFair. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks quite promising. Basically, you get the best exchange rate by skipping the banks. They claim their commission rate is 0.15% only, much lower than anything you could possibly find. [youtube ] ...

I am not sure what I did that led to this error. I was simply doing some typing in TextEdit and some web browsing. Then while trying to open a pdf file, this happened. Then I tried opening some other picture files and it was the same error. Basically, Preview.app stopped working and kept giving me this -600 crash error. To fix this, you need to reboot. Yea, I know, I ran out of ideas, so rebooted, and the error went away. Hope this helps! ...

So after moving files and db data from an old ubuntu 10 server to my new ubuntu 12 server, I started testing my websites. As expected, certain things stopped working. I quickly installed the missing packages using apt-get, all looking good except my wordpress permalink feature was still not working. I checked the AllowOverride in all my setting files under /etc/apache2/sites-available/ . All good. Why??? I also checked my .htaccess in my blog directory, also looking good. My wordpress is working. But as soon as I click on any post or page links, I get a page not found 404 error. I verified this from /var/log/apache2/error.log. Yea, of course, coz the permalink is not working. ...

This has got to be one of the most frustrating (and desperate?) things while working with xcode. In case you run into the same issue, here are the steps I followed and worked. 1. Close all your stuff except your webpage that should be logged into App Dev center. 2. Open Xcode. Click WINDOW > ORGANIZER. Then click the Devices tab and select “Provisioning Profiles” on the left. That should bring up your provisioning profiles. Highlight and delete all of them. (To have a fresh clean start) ...

My xcode version is currently 4.6.1. If after a fresh install, you notice the beach ball keeps coming back while xcode is open, it may be because xcode is trying to do indexing. You can turn that off by issuing the following in a terminal. defaults write com.apple.dt.XCode IDEIndexDisable 1 You just need to do it once. The freezing should then stop happening.
