Installing REAL Studio on 64bit Linux
I’ve recently taken my Windows 7 laptop and installed Ubunto 10.10 64 bit Linux in a dual boot configuration. Sweet. All of that delicious RAM available. While setting it up, one of the tools I have to install is REAL Studio (REALbasic). Well, the DEB file says it won’t install because it isn’t 32bit Linux. [...]

RegEx fun in Real Studio
I’ve always been inspired by the power of regular expressions … it’s just that I’ve never really needed them for anything extensive. I could always hack my way around the simple string replacements in the programming language I was using. Today was different, however. I am working on an application that needs to validate a [...]

That darned libstdc++.so.5 file
I recently purchased some plugins to help with a development project I’m working on. Well, to register and decrypt the plugins, I had to run an application that required the libstdc++.so.5 library which has long been deprecated. I found some help from the following web site however: http://bootstrapping.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/missing-libstdc-so-5-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ Here’s the magic to get this to [...]

Text to Speech on Linux

More good feedback and more changes to the CULLYTech Pomodoro Timer. There are new VCR style buttons for play and stop. There is a new Pause button! Handy for when you are interrupted.

CULLYTech Timer v1.2
It seems as if my Pomodoro Timer is a small hit. Some friends were asking for enhancements and I’ve been making the changes as fast as I can. One enhancement was to make the timer work better when shrunk very small. Something along the lines of the Windows Gadgets. While I was at it, I [...]

I have a friend that does technical sales to one of the companies that sell land lines into homes. He told me a story about his latest visit. These telephone companies know that land lines are a dying breed of technology but evidently they are in a panic on how quick it is happening. I [...]
