06.18.07Configuring Apache, ColdFusion and virtual hosts for MacOS XQuite a lot of people are asking me how to get a development setup running for MacOS X. With this post I hope to help all those that asked and others as well. Let's us start off to get all the needed files first: ColdFusion Installer (Get Version 7.x from Adobe's website or then Version 8.0 from Adobe Labs) Get Apache 2.2.4 from apache.org (MacOS X internal webserver is Apache 1.3.3) and download the Unix Source.

06.09.07Why is there no updated Oracle database available for the MacOS X?This is a topic I wanted to address for a long time. I really do wonder, why Oracle does not provide any updated database for MacOS X. They made their Oracle Express Edition available for Debian, Mandriva, Novell, Red Hat and Ubuntu Linux and of course Windows but not for MacOS X. I keep on hearing that Oracle is trying to lure over more and more SME or trying to establish Oracle as a alternative to MySQL for any internet project but at the same time missing out the platform that a lot of internet developers use, the MacOS X.

06.04.07Apple Safari, AcidSearch plugin and Delete KeyThere is this very cool plugin for Apple's Safari Browser called AcidSearch. AcidSearch is a search enhancement for Safari. It adds unlimited "Search Channels" to the Google search field. Channels can be customized in a nearly infinite variety of ways. AcidSearch also includes powerful features such as JavaScript support, the ability to import iSeek and Butler Search Sites, true hierarchical menu organization, and the ability to search multiple search engines at the same time. But there is quite a bug when you turn on "Find as you type" because once you do so, it will disable the "Delete Key" functionality which ...

03.15.07Converting a BootCamp Windows installation into a Parallels Virtual Disk ImageIn my previous post I wrote about using Parallels together with a BootCamp partition. Now I decided to save on the 32 GB partition and use its space for my Mac OS related stuff by converting the BootCamp partition into a Virtual Disk one. Actually the steps doing so are very trivial thanks to Parallels Transporter. Here are the steps: Boot into the BootCamp Windows partition. Download the Transporter package. Install the Transporter package (the installer tells you that the Transporter agent is already installed, but with me I could not connect to the Windows partition until I installed the complete Transporter package!). Reboot ...
