Leopard Annoyances #1
▁ oct 30 2007

Listing what annoys me about Leopard so far:

  • Cmd-Tab. When you are in cmd-tab mode and you head all the way to one side, and then try and go one further, it’s stuck. This didn’t happen in Tiger.
  • Sending mail through SSL servers without a certified certificate. Mail.app 3 just won’t allow you to do this. This is annoying like hell. Didn’t happen in Tiger either.
  • Dashboard Dictionary. When you’re in the input-field and you hit Escape, this doesn’t clear it so you can write a new word. Worked in Tiger. Well, let’s go through what major Tiger annoyances they’ve fixed since the last version:
  • Burning a disc. The disc title defaults to “Untitled CD/DVD”, and if you’d Tab to that input field, it’d only focus the “ntitled CD/DVD” part, leaving the uppercased ‘U’ intact. That’s fixed.

There was one other thing, but I’ve forgotten by now.

I’ll post more as I discover them.

Migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL
▁ oct 16 2007

(If you’re not tech-savvy, please stop reading now.)

I’m waiting for a query to complete. It’s almost midnight. I’ve been at it all day. I’m trying to migrate a large amount of data from MySQL to PostgreSQL. There has been many walls to run into. Ran into most of them.

More after the break.

Coniuro
▁ oct 15 2007

That’s the name of the company owned by some of my friends’ company. I do a lot of work for them right now, and hopefully I will be for a while :-)

They’re taking on clients and pass some of them on to me. I do that ~37 hours a week. It’s fun! Doing lots of python development, using the django framework which is excellent.

At the moment, we’re doing a site called ‘hundesitter.dk’, which bascially translates into dogsitter. It’s a site where people can create a profile and add their dogs, and in due time, they can hopefully locate a sitter in their area. Nothing major, but it’s fun to work on, and I get to use the tools I like. Just a small update.
