Comment on CSS Tip by Topper Bowers

Well:

While those BRs are sometimes necessary or expedient… they are generally frowned upon. The better way is to style the element below the floated text to have a style of “clear: both;” and in its CSS (not a style= attribute).

Also, sometimes IE doesn’t like a BR tag for clear (which is strange) and would prefer a DIV… though I don’t really have an idea of “why.”

Comment on Ruby Reminder: Array Subtraction by kajinski

apparently this is also true with arrays containing hashes. if you create two arrays with an identical hash element in each, subtraction fails:

>> arr1 = [{:foo=>'bar'}]
=> [{:foo=>"bar"}]
>> arr2 = [{:foo=>'bar'}]
=> [{:foo=>"bar"}]
>> arr1 == arr2
=> true
>> arr1[0] == arr2[0]
=> true
>> newarr = arr1 – arr2
=> [{:foo=>"bar"}]

Do you have a good script to tag all the files in different directories? If so, can you drop me a note?

Thanks

Comment on How to Make Pound And SSL Play Nice With OS X by Ben

I tried this using Pound-2.2.2 on OS X 10.4.8. The command line for ‘make install’ looks for a -D flag, which my version in /usr/bin/install does not have. My version of install on Linux does have it. Anyway, I just copied the pound and poundctl binaries manually and things all seem ok.

[...] A good tags file is essential when developing with emacs. My tags setup (see Adam’s dot files) didn’t work out of the box on my Mac. It turns out that the included ctags is ancient. The simple fix is to install a newer version of ctags with Darwin Ports. sudo port install ctags [...]

http://www.peacefire.org has setup for use on a home computer I use to get around websense.

Only downside: the home computers upload speed becomes your work’s max download speed…

it does the same for me at my high school. i think its ridiculous because it doesn’t matter how many times you block something people can always find a way around it. i usually search “proxy avoidance blog” in google and you will probably find a site that works. codedup.net worked for a long time before it got blocked. ill let you now if i find a new one.

Just a note, if you hadn’t seen it already, that Gerd Knops put together a bundle for using ctags with TextMate as well. Check it out here: http://gerd.knops.org/?p=7
