Folks,
As promised I have put up a blog post on how to get Dolphin running native under Wine (in this particular case on Mac OSX using a free product called WineSkin). You can find the blog at:

There are a few videos to go along with the blog and these can be found in the OA video library at:

Best regards

This is the size of a file that can surely fit on a DVD-R formatted with a UDF v1.02 filesystem.

I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup the Mini to an encrypted sparse image. OS X 10.6 used to mount the image automatically but quit doing so and I can’t figure out why. In lieu of that I built an Automator script to mount the share so that CCC could mount the image. That worked until upgrading to 10.7.
My final solution was to add a final step to the script asking the user to mount the sparse image manually.
This site showed how to do so like this:
tell application "Finder" to display dialog "Empty Trash" with icon 2

A lot of people would like Emacs style evaluation of code in DrRacket.
This document explains how to do it.

This utility generates pretty diffs for LaTeX files. The example I was was of the 5th draft of R7RS attached to this post. Thanks Alex Shinn for the link.

10.7 introduced “leather bound” iCal and Address Book.
This student’s app changes them back.
Might even donate a little something to him for saving you the trouble.

Meng Zhang set up project files for building Chibi for OS X and an iOS REPL here.
With virtually no iOS knowledge I just checked it out, built it, and ran it on the simulator in a couple of minutes.
Thank you Alex and Meng!

The Pioneer plaques are a pair of gold-anodized aluminium plaques which were placed on board the 1972 Pioneer 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 spacecraft, featuring a pictorial message, in case either Pioneer 10 or 11 are intercepted by extraterrestrial life. The plaques show the nude figures of a human male and female along with several symbols that are designed to provide information about the origin of the spacecraft.[1]
The Pioneer spacecraft were the first human-built objects to leave the Solar System.
You can buy replicas here.
