Rob van Gerwen's weblogRob van Gerwen's blosxom blogHey, that&8217;s me&8230;- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Click to enlarge.http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#me Synchronising HDs and Permission Issues: Chronosync!- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Ever since it came out, I used Synk to synchronise my three Harddisks (presently all Mac OS X), one on a Powerbook, one on a desktop G4 and, lastly, one over an SSH Tunnel. Synk started as shareware, but now it is a free download.Synk has always worked perfectly, and I mean exactly that, until recently, maybe, because I upgraded to OS X 10.2. Some time ago, Synk refused to replace files on the &8216;other&8217; HD. I checked the permissions, but they were all set correctly, I checked the Synk..http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#synchronising Fugu question- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Can someone please tell me whether Fugu has the sorting power that we appreciate so much in our Finder windows I see no possibility to sort the items in a Fugu window, relative to kind, name, modification date, etc. Instead, Fugu confronts me with a listing of my files which holds no order at all, which is pretty much unworkable. As it is, this bugfeature keeps pulling me back to my all-time favourite for SFTP, Interarchie.http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#fugu websites updated- (Found July 8, 2008 ) I just finished redesigning the biggest part of my websites, using only CSS2-specifications. You&8217;ll find a new navigation with menus, and no JavaScripting.I have also changed the routes for the visitor to follow, in an effort to make the sites more transparent. I sincerely hope I succeeded in this.What did I use BBEdit, Anarchie, Blapp, Bloxsom, Camino, Safari, and Mozilla.I did something to my weblog as well: I restored its logic. From now on you&8217;ll find the recent changes on top of..http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#sitesupdated Another blogwise update- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Revamped my blog. Among others, I added indexes of the various categories. unfortunately, to do that, I had to make certain changes in older files, which, consequently got a more recent modification date. I sincerely hope that this was the last time I had to break in to the blog logic. I&8217;ll do my best to make it happen.http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#blogupdate Presentations in LATEX (prosper)- (Found July 8, 2008 ) There is no real need for PowerPoint® to do your slide-presentations. In LATEX, we use the prosper class (built on the seminar-package). It&8217;ll produce presentations to be viewed in a PDF-reader, like Acrobat&8217;s. You&8217;ll need a standard TEX installation (use Gerben Wierda&8217;s i-Installer for that purpose; make sure to include Ghostscript), plus these packages: prosper (check here for dependencies for prosper; clicking around will provide you with beautiful examples as well)..http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#prosperPresentation Weblog reshuffled- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Had to break a few weblog-links as I have reshuffled some of the directories in my blog.http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#reshuffled ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Typesetting a BibteX-file (not all that large: 220KB) in TexShop brought me no trouble whatsoever, but in Terminal got me this fatal failure: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry save size=5000. <to be read again> l.5493 It took me a lot of reading, checking and surfing to track down the cause: memory use. Before enlarging the memory capacity of my Tex distribution I sought and sought what wrong macro or font-definition I might be using. I found nothing and decided to check the exact...http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#TeXcapacityExceeded Solved by CSS-compliance (i.e. lack thereof)!- (Found July 8, 2008 ) The fourth option Seems like I solved my issues with Internet Explorer. The culprit: some perfectly correct CSS-code (a pseudo-class). p:first-letter font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; border: 1px solid ddd; padding: 0; line-height: 1.2em; color: 069; margin-right: 2px; font-style: italic; Probably there is some conflict or other with some other perfectly correct CSS-code. Well, I stop complaining. At least, those interested can, once again, browse freely through my sites....http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#solved Vital Internet-advice- (Found July 8, 2008 ) For vastly revamping the site of the NEDERLANDS GENOOTSCHAP VOOR ESTHETICA (Dutch Association of Aesthetics), recently, I made use, as always (!), of Jeffrey Zeldman&8217;s AListApart. REsults will be online soon. I also took good advices from: → AvoidingHacks (which taught me how to write code applicable internet-wide, i.e. even by Internet Explorer, without applying too many CSS-hacks&8211;on account of that they are going to stand in my way as soon newer browsers or newer...http://www.phil.uu.nl/~rob/blog/2008/06/29#advice |
