Goodbye Caps Lock

I just found out that OS X lets you map the caps lock to be any of the other modifier (control, option, command) in your keyboard preferences.  A worthless key on my keyboard suddenly became incredibly useful.

Ruby + GnuGo: Setup

Posted by Tad Thorley Fri, 02 Jan 2009 04:38:00 GMT

Well, now that 2009 is here and the holidays are over, it’s time to get started.  First I’ll need to install gnugo (via macports):

sudo port install gnugo

Next, I want to use jruby:

sudo port install jruby

I plan on using github as my repository:

sudo port install git-core

I’ve heard a lot of good things about rspec and I’d like to try it for my testing:

sudo gem install rspec

sudo gem install cucumber

I’m going to make a Swing interface, and I’ve heard Netbeans is nice for that.

 

I think that’s a pretty good start.
