Posted by draper on Friday, September 4th, 2009

This topic has without a doubt been something that has been talked to death but unfortunately, I have to put in my two cents. Its simple, I hate DRM, its killing me.
Let me be clear, I’m a pirate, by the standards of the MPAA, RIAA & such I am a pirate because I want [...]

Ruby for backing up

Posted by draper on Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Backup, backup, backup! That’s the motto of the day and its good one to live by, for everyone. I personally know that I do not backup as much as I should but that’s mainly because I don’t believe that you can ever backup too much. For my personal computers I use a [...]

Setting Rails on OS X Leopard

Posted by draper on Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Over the past year it seems like I’ve setup a new mac for daily usage at least 5 times and for the life of me I can’t remember why this has happened so much. I really haven’t purchased that many new computers(in fact only 1), but I remember this painstaking process quit vividly multiple [...]

Macbook Web Server Setup

Posted by draper on Sunday, May 17th, 2009

I noted in my summer goals post that I would blog about each item of my summer goals that I’ve completed and I get the wonderful joy of crossing this one off! Without a doubt, this has been the easiest task to cross off.

The laptop I’m using is the first generation Macbook 13” 1.8ghz and 1gb of ram. Its been out of use for the most part now for about 6 months other than a jukebox so its about time it was put to use. I’m running Leopard, OS X 10.5.6, as the OS and it couldn’t have been any easier to setup. Rather than spend my time walking through how to set it up, just go here and check out his walk through, it works perfectly for me.

After only about 10 min of setup I had all 3 of my computers as well as my iPod touch syncing wonderfully with Omnifocus and I am incredibly happy with it. There is only one problem with the setup and I think its a bug in Omnifocus, whenever I choose to save the username and password used for the webdav authentication, the system will not sync the second time. I don’t know if this is a bug in the keychain or in Omnifocus but the same issue happened on iDisk. It doesn’t happen on my iPod so its not a big deal and I’ll live with it. Otherwise, this system is awesome.
