clock

I always have a clock at my office so I can easily see the time. Not sure about you guys, but I don’t like to squeeze my eyes to read from my windows taskbar. Everything is good until some time last week the battery ran out. The “second” hand failed to go against the gravity struggling to go up at the “9” position. Poor me I have been consistently forgetting to bring in a new battery, I guess getting into the office on time already consumes everything I get in the morning. ^^; ...

Maximizing an OSX window

This is often a frustrating experience to many new osx users, especially those who have used windows for many years. Often times I am ok with what the green zoom button does, coz it actually does make the current window bigger but just not maximized… Like most people, I settled with moving the window to the top left corner, then dragging the bottom right corner… Today, while trying to look at a map in preview, for some reasons I just thought that there got to be something that can maximize an osx window right. There got to be! How many years has Apple been in business! There got to be! ...

(646)-873-6493

Just got an unknown call from this number: (646)-873-6493. It just rang once, then ended. It’s a New York area code, but I don’t recognize the number. Further googling suggests that this is a telemarketing phone number trying to collect active phone numbers. I already filed a complaint at http://www.numberinvestigator.com/. Not sure if that’s useful but at least I have done my part.

AppSales Mobile

For some reasons, this app hasn’t gotten much publicity. If you ever wondered if it’s possible to view your app sales data without going through itunesconnect, this app is probably what you want. You will need to download the latest source at http://wiki.github.com/omz/AppSales-Mobile/ using git. Afterward you will need to compile it yourself onto your own device.

Pulling from Git

Perhaps Git is still new, I couldn’t find any one-click solutions to simply pulling a copy from a git repository in osx. If you are new to git, and you are a osx user, and you just want to pull the latest code from a repository, you are at the right place. I will show you the quickest way to do just that. 1. First download git-osx-installer at http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/ 2. Install it (you will need root login). After that, you should have /usr/bin/git 3. Say you want to pull from git://github.com/omz/AppSales-Mobile.git 4. Make a directory, for example: mkdir myApp 5. cd myApp 6. At this point, you would want to do a “git clone git://github.com/omz/AppSales-Mobile.git”. However, I bet you will get some error messages. So read on. ;) 7. Type “locate git-core”, check to see that you have “/usr/local/git/share/git-core/templates/”. 8. Type “locate index-pack”, check to see that you have “/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-index-pack” 9. Now, set the path: export PATH=/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/:$PATH (or wherever git-index-pack is located at from step #8) 10. Issue this command: git clone --template=/usr/local/git/share/git-core/templates/ git://github.com/omz/AppSales-Mobile.git ...
