Link Dump

Alex King, a lawyer and the GPL: Interesting read about Alex’s discussion with a lawyer about the GPL which came about because of a request from a Mambo user.

OSXvnc: VNC server for Mac OS X. I haven’t had a need for one so far (being able to ssh into my Mac has meet my needs so far), but one day it might be handy.

Chicken of the VNC: VNC client for Mac OS X. If you don’t (or can’t) use the web based java interface to connect to a VNC server then this is handy to have.

DragonFly BSD: The spinoff of FreeBSD 4.x is getting ready to release version 1.0, with some very interesting features.

Xen: Xen creates virtual machines that can each run their own OS. Hmmm, bringing some of the big IBM system concepts to personal computers. I wonder if they port this to the G4?

Creating Mac users from the shell: This is especially handy if you want to create a system user for certain processes instead of a user that would login.

Installing PostgreSQL on Mac OS X: Install instructions from Apple on installing PostgreSQL. I don’t like the idea of creating a normal user to run PostgreSQL, I used niutil to create a user from the shell (see above) and assigned it the uid and gid of 100.

Natural Docs: I use this for documenting my PHP projects.

PHP Benchmark Tests: Some interesting benchmarks comparing PHP’s different looping approaches, references and string quoting. I’ll have to try some variations of these tests.
