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:

Here’s the magic to get this to [...]
I skipped over version 1.4 and I’m jumping right to version 1.5. I’d like to thank the many of the users of the timer and the suggestions that have been pouring in. I couldn’t get to them all for this release but I’m pleased with where it is right now.
The major enhancement is [...]
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. It happens in real life, so I thought I’d put on a pause button. I’ve made small [...]

I woke up on time on Friday morning, the last day. I’ve got to get ready, pack up, and check out. My wife is Iming me over Skype with some technical support questions. She’s wanting to black out sensitive information in a contract before sending it to a client. She had [...]

I must once again comment on how cool RW attendees are. They’re such [...]
So, I check in and drop my bag off in my room. The bed calls my name beckoning me with a call … “Sleep, sleep, sleep.” I will not be seduced. I have technology also calling me and the promise of learning something is stronger than the short term satisfaction of REM sleep.
I go down [...]
It seems as if my last few weeks, I’ve been pushing myself to the max. I normally don’t like to fill up my life that much.
Well, I’ve been looking forward to RW for a while now, and it has arrived before I knew it. I’ve been in Birmingham, AL on Monday and Tuesday [...]
My friend, Russell Campbell, sent me this link this morning.

I’m so happy I’m getting off the M$ B$.
Here’s my favorite quote that I think says it all: “It’s something that will change software development…”
Of course this is a gem too:

Here is a short but sweet article on REALbasic from InfoWorld.
The main gist of the article is that RB2008R1 will be gaining the features of introspection and possibly some web features. What I’m wondering is if these two things are directly related. To create an AJAX version of a RB form, say, a program could [...]
