MacOS Gets Portage

MacOS Gets Portage 07/19/2004 11:41 AM

I may have mentioned before that I run Gentoo Linux as the primary OS on my laptop, where I do most of my work at home. The main bonus of Gentoo is its packaging system, Portage. I've frequently run in to dependency hell with RPM or DEB packaging systems, since most distributions have a set of 'approved' software that comes with the distro, and you have to go 'off the reservation' for other stuff - downloading from random web sites, etc. Not so with Gentoo. The portage tree is so huge, I've seldom encountered a piece of software that's not already available. Want a digital camera tool? Just 'emerge digikam', and it's downloaded, compiled, configured, and installed, all in one step. Want to get the latest version of every piece of software on your computer? 'emerge -U world' right before bed, and you will have a cutting-edge install in the morning. After using portage, installing software with RPM's is like a kick in the face.

And now I read in this week's Gentoo Newsletter that my favorite package manager works for OSX as well, thanks to Gentoo MacOS:

a 20-head-strong developer team around Pieter van den Abeele (strategic lead) and Daniel Ostrow (operational) is now ready to release an extraordinary beast into the wild: Gentoo MacOS. They deliver on a promise no other Linux distribution has been daring enough to make yet: Portage on MacOS is now fully operational, seamlessly integrated as a package manager in a non-Linux operating system.
[...]
"Right now it's a tool to install lots of commonly requested applications on OS X", explains Pieter van den Abeele. "But in a few months, we'll have a port system that builds Darwin from scratch, provides a standardised lookup and installation routine for Dashboard widgets, enhancements and tools like the Desktop Manager and many, many more popular OS X applications."

Apparently the Fink, Gentoo, and Darwinports folks are working together to create a common packaging method so that there will be lots of software in the repository, and they won't wind up porting the mess of multiple package formats in Linux over to OS X. Sounds like it may be a little early to turn this loose on a production system, but this should become a fantastic resource for OS X software.

Alternatively, you could always run Mozilla or one of its variants -- a free, open source browser in which vulnerabilities are corrected as soon as they're discovered (not when Apple decides to get around to it).

North Carolina's Battle Over Solitaire

North Carolina's Battle Over Solitaire 03/22/2005 04:32 PM

Is that a spreadsheet on your screen - or solitaire?: A North Carolina lawmaker wants to ban Solitaire. And — in the words of the guy from Fark — there's still no cure for cancer.

Senator Allran wants the state to erase the free game modules from all its computers - the digital version of throwing the deck in the trash can. The plan, he says, will save taxpayers millions in gained productivity - not to mention soothing their angst over secretaries and executives' long hours clicking digital decks.

[...] But for the country's burgeoning crop of workers who spend their days staring into computer screens, the notion of taking personal downtime on the company machine — and the company dime — can be an expression of individuality in a world where work and play are increasingly blurred. And sometimes, they say, it's the only way to muddle through the daily grind.

Akiba PC Watch's Weird Items of 2004 01/05/2005 01:45 PM

Akiba PC Watch, a division of Japanese tech news giant Impress Watch, has posted the results of their "Weird Items Found in Akihabara" competition. Over 1,000 users submitted a total of 6,305 entries, and exactly 64 products have been labeled "Weird." Many of the products have been covered here at Gizmodo — such as the virtual keyboard (1st place), a jacket with solar panels (2nd place), and even the BACKLIT 82 KEYS (16th place), but many of them weren't covered by any English speaking site (as far as we know). Highlights include a 5" drive bay cigarette lighter + cup holder, speakers with moving eyes, and even a "beef bowl power source." I suggest you try out Google's new Japanese machine translation on this article, so you can come to realize it's just as wortheless as every other machine translation.

Zagreb, Croatia (PRWEB) June 15, 2004 -- For the last two decades computer telephony was telephony boards based business. It is the time for changes, or at least that is what folks at Uniqall do think about it. Few days ago Uniqall made available for free download the first public beta of its flagship Gridborg 1.0 software that is supposed to displace expensive telephony boards from theirs well entrenched positions within computer telephony solutions.

give me a leonard cohen afterworld 04/09/2004 04:08 PM
I few weeks ago, I was asked to write something about Kurt Cobain for Black Table.com, because today is the ten year anniversary of his suicide.

I am always flattered and grateful when someone asks me to contribute to something, because it makes me feel like a "real" writer, but I often have to decline, because writing takes time, and time is something I just don't have right now.

This was different, though, because I thought I had an interesting take on Kurt Cobain's death, so I accepted. I wrote it up, re-wrote it, and then got buried in the Star Trek convention and forgot to send it in until one day after the deadline.

So it didn't make the article, which is a drag, because the other writers are all respected and they all wrote great things. It would have been cool to be alongside them. They tell me it was cut for space . . . but I just read the other contributions, and it's pretty clear to me that I'm not yet in their league.

I'm thrilled that I've had this realization while I'm at the tail end of a rewrite, and I'm terrified about the "sophomore slump." Hooray.

But since I already put the work into it, it seems stupid to just file it off in the "never got published" directory. Here it is . . .

Telephony R.I.P.?

Telephony R.I.P.? 01/07/2004 03:22 PM
I have an iSight and a nice new Mac laptop. I also have a beat-up old Mac and a decent Canon videocam that I don’t use that much, not having (yet) developed videographer’s reflexes. Anyhow, the Canon has firewire output, so I plugged that into the old Mac and what do you know, it works just fine with iChat AV. So we put the old Mac and the Canon with a little tripod on a desk in a quiet but wired area upstairs and it’s a free videophone to anywhere in the world. Restating for emphasis: whenever I’m anywhere in the world and have an Internet connection, I can have a free videophone call home, that goes on as long as I need to and nobody’s counting minutes or running up a phone bill. Let’s see; free telephone with video, or pay-for-it telephone with no picture. Costly and voice-only, or free with a picture. I think this is what an inflexion point smells like.

Vonage, 2nd try for IP telephony

Vonage, 2nd try for IP telephony 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Last summer I switched to lingo.com, an IP phone service that proved to be cheap but unreliable.  Starting last week Lingo failed altogether and their tech support folks (available only by phone, which is kind of irksome) failed to call back, so I ordered Vonage, which is the same $25/month but does not include Western Europe in its unlimited calling region and has higher international rates.

Here's how Vonage has worked...

• Vonage sends you a brand-new Linksys broadband router with included IP phone jacks and three Ethernet jacks; if you were relying on your old router for 802.11b or to use as an 8-port hub you may have to buy some new networking gear
• the customer service Web site is very slow and about 25% of the time page requests produce an error page with a "try again later" instruction
• tech support is available through a form on their Web site; this form asks for your name, phone number, account number, etc., even though you've already logged in and it should have all of his info as part of your account profile
• tech support via phone results in a "we're experiencing an unsually high volume of calls; try again later"; customer service (billing, etc.) can be reached after a 15-minute wait in queue
• they say that they never received my FAXed letter of authorization to transfer my old number from Lingo and want it refaxed
• when set to simultaneously ring my cell phone Vonage does ring the cell but I can't hear callers (they can hear me though)

They say that it will take two months for them to transfer the phone number from Lingo, so I'll have to pay $25/month to Lingo for forwarding until that happens.

[Update:  I believe that I unfairly maligned Vonage in regards to not being able to hear callers on calls simultaneously rung to my cell phone.  It turns out that it is my PalmOne Treo flaking out on the very day that I installed Vonage!  This makes Treo #10 that has failed, I think.  It lasted about two months, just like the others.  Anyone have a suggestion for a GSM phone that will do a calendar and contacts sync with Microsoft Outlook?]

[Dec 3 Update:  When voicemail is pending, the Vonage system fails to change the dial tone.  A second try to reach technical support (at 1:30 pm Eastern time) resulted in the same "we're too busy to talk to anyone" recording.  The voice quality of calls is somewhat low, with some constant static.]
