Apple needs to address this with a better solution for uninstall all the tid bits around the fs.

I don’t quite get the name, but the GUI is very nice and it makes creating launchd configs for OSX very easy.

It all started with the wonderful little app called VoodooPad. A while later a friend of mine turned me onto a the BitNami site. BitNami has lots of open source packages that are nicely packaged up for OSX. So while there I figured I would try out DokuWiki. I installed that bit on the MacBook and now I have a nice open source wiki running right on my desktop. This pretty much replaces the for pay VoodooPad. I’m quite excited.

So after a bit of research on the www, I created a launchd plist config in to automatically start DokuWiki when OSX starts up. Then I set the homepage of Safari to the local instance of the wiki and as Emeril would say bam!

I suppose that technology is blase now though.

My favorite part was a shot of a chef wearing a t-shirt that read “New Orleans; The city government forgot.” That’s got it about right, I’d say.

Anthony’s shows seems to be getting a bit better here lately. My general feeling last season, was that the show was basically going to shit. He seems to be pulling it out though this season.
