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 ...

SpiderOak is a nice cross-platform backup application. I have been using it for a few months already. It sync’s your files to their online servers in the background. However, I find it hard to cancel an uploading file process. What happened to me was I left a huge file on my desktop (I sync’ed my desktop folder), then that giant file was being uploaded quietly in the background. One day I happened to check the upload queue and realized what happened. To my surprise there was no easy way to cancel that upload from the gui! ...

This video is pretty well done. It’s a 3D video on the packets, routers, etc. [youtube &hl=en_US&fs=1&] Warriors of The Net http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve7_4ot-Dzs

I am glad that someone actually tried to do a small research on this topic, though to be fair the population size is only about a thousand. But I guess if the population size were to increase the result would be worse… Most HK students worry only about their studies at school, that is if they study at all. School work is stressful already that consumes most of they time. Anything outside of school is considered unproductive, and can be dealt with later. There isn’t much incentive to read news unless it’s for personal interest. The high competition in the job market also contributes to this phenomena. ...

Just heard from a friend about this movie called " Freedom Writers". I then went on to watch the trailer… wow… I mean, first of all it’s a true story. Second… you just gotta watch it! It’s about gang fights and racial tensions. This teacher was committed to place herself in it to make a difference. It’s easy to say, but you will get a much better idea the kind of life-or-death risk she placed herself in. ...
