You, and I, read every privacy section on every beta we apply for, to feel secure that our email address won’t get in the Infernal Spam Database(TM). It pays to be diligent, and safeguarding your email address is a smart thing to do, and you should, but you can’t do it forever, you know. Read the rest of this entry »

Subversion – del 1

Se i prosjektmappene dine. Har du mange filer som heter index.php, index2.php, index3.php, index4.php, index5.php? Da er nok Subversion for deg og meg.

Jeg har bestemt meg for å installere Subversion for å drive versjonskontroll på kode jeg skriver. Subversion er OpenSource Version Control System, som lar deg ta vare på alle versjoner av kode, og gjør at du kan dele prosjektet som et team og alle kan sjekke inn og ut kode. For min del er versjons-styringen det viktigste, ettersom jeg jobber alene på programmeringsprosjekter, og har foreløpig ikke så mye bruk for team-delen. Les mer på subversion.tigris.org.

Installasjonen av Subversion skjer gjennom MacPorts, et prosjekt som er laget for å installere og administrere fri kildekode under OS X.

Følg med fremover for mer informasjon om hvordan jeg opplever Subversion.

Installasjon av Subversion

subversion.tigris.org – her finner du Subversion
MacPorts – er programvare for å installere FLOSS (free software / opensource) under OS X

GUI for Subversion i OS X – Både fri og lukket

svnX – open source
Versions – ser unektelig sexy ut. €39 – demoversjon
Syncro SVN Client – $59 – årlig avgift

Hva er dine erfaringer med Subversion? Noen gode tips eller fallgruver jeg bør være obs på?

Subversion error

This post is mostly for reminding myself as I dive into SubVersion (.svn) for development
Dette er mest for min egen del, i tilfelle jeg støter på det når jeg skal sette opp Subversion for utvikling.

macosx_flash_error

While developping our (AGIT8) latest project we encountered a bug in the Flash IDE that caused us many headaches and woes. Our project was setup in the Flash IDE with assets and files located in subdirectories, nothing fancy. Right on the last day of production, suddenly after a particular commit , our project would no longer compile. Flash would return the standard compiler error: “A definition for the document class could not be found in the classpath, so one will be automatically generated in the SWF file upon export.” The document class is in the same directory as the FLA! What in god’s name is going on!

It turns out Flash is not able find any classes in the project’s directory. Even when creating a new FLA file with a classpath entry to the project’s directory ; the compiler would just refuse to find ANY classes in that particular directory.

After about a day of investigation, we isolated the problem to OSX, as PC checked out working copies of the project would function properly. We also found out that by doing a subversion “EXPORT” of the project (basically removing the .svn files from the project dir) the project would magically start working again.

After another day of headaches and stress we finally figured it out. It seems that under OSX ONLY, if you have a directory in your classpath that is under subversion control (has .svn files) and that any one single directory has over 128 files subversionned, it will make the flash compiler class lookup fail silently and stop. You’ll get the usual compiler error messages for unfound classes.

The solution?

Make sure that no single directory in your project has over 128 files in it under subversion control. If you have one, simply segment it into sub directories and commit.

Helvetica hos nrk

helvetica-nrk

NRK viser dokumentaren ‘Helvetica’ på nrk.no/nett-tv.

Det er en meget interessant film om skrifttypen Helvetica, og hvordan den endret den grafiske verden når den kom i 1957. Om du er fontofil bør du ha fått den med deg, om du ikke er fontofil bør du få den med deg.
