export PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:$PATH

Please be noted that clang does not reside in /Developer/usr/bin, it is now in /Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

Now you could access to gcc, g++, git or any toolsets bundled with Xcode. For your convenience, it is recommended to include it in your .bash_profile.

rails g scaffold Product title:string price:decimal{8,2}

the above would generate a migration of:

t.decimal :price, :precision => 8, :scale => 2

NOTE: sadly, this feature is so broken as of the release of 3.2.0 and is addressed in the bug #4602.

It is interesting to see the progress that Paul and Dennis made, from such few characters to draw the man (not knowing jumping yet) and build blocks to animated jumpman chasing the helicopter which blasted to pieces if bumped into buildings (/w blood trails on the building). Paul and Dennis called the game ROLFBALT, for me I would call it the Suicidal Jumpan for its bloody ending scene. I rank this game 2nd after the Wolf3D clone Rubystein. Give it a try now at https://github.com/pda/roflbalt

This year is the worst year of my life, everything is breaking down. And just a week before X-Mas, my car battery decided to retire after 5 years of hard work. So I started venturing into the World Wide Web to find a best replacement part. After digging into few forums, all recommended to go for ACDelco 430 or Supercharge Gold MF75****. It turns out that those batteries does not fit perfectly with my Accord Euro MY05. Besides, they are quite expensive too ~ around $150 AUD. In the end I called up John Blair Honda Parts and got a good deal for the Supercharge Silver SMF55D23L for $130. Off I went to pick it up and quickly got my dead battery replaced. Now my car roar like a real lion with a full 500CCA (the stock part is 300CCA though). I think I should hit the road now

For whom who doesn’t know what Open Cublic Player (ocp) is, this application is a pure console music player for DOS and *NIX based platform. It was one of the most popular app of the DOS era. Though lacking mouse control and a graphical user interface, many hackers/developers still prefer it to other GUI music players for its light overhead and rich features.

Today, I am delighted to announce that ocp Formula is officially committed into Homebrew repository. I’d like to thank Stian for the great app and for being patient with me on many emails back and forth on fixing nested functions compiling issues with gcc on OSX. To all console lovers out there, you can start trying out this great app right now:

$ brew update
$ brew install ocp
$ ocp

Bugs reports are greatly welcomed. Enjoy!

Before I go to bed, I force myself to read code on my laptop while laying on bed. I normally lie down sideway facing left or right so I am more comfortable reading code that is vertically rotated. Thanks to Vico text-editor orientation feature, I could set the Orientation to Vertical and all codes are now vertically rotated for me.
