OpenOffice natively on OSX

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007 |

Yes!!! it finally look like we are getting OpenOffice on OSX without X11. Yes I know that there is NeoOffice, I use it, and I like it, but I would like to be on the same code base as the reast of the OpenOffice users out there.

That is why I’m very happy to read that Sun is officially going to work on a Carbon version version. Ok, ok, Carbon might not be the lastest and brightest but it will still be a native OSX application.

Garmin Support for OSX

Thursday, April 5th, 2007 |

As I wrote here Garmin promised that they would release OSX versions of their software that is MapSource and POI Loader, well finally a year after they initially said something about it they have released a beta of POI Loader for Mac.

Lucky me, who does not have a GPS which support POI Loader….. So I will still be waiting for MapSource on OSX…..

As for howto to do stuff with your GPS on OSX look here; Peter Hilton (yes the guy from Hilton Harbour) have some neat tricks here.

LDAPbrowsers

Friday, March 30th, 2007 |

There is a holy grail in working with directories, that is directories as in LDAP or meta directories, which have one thing in common – you mostly do not have the right tool at the right time. And one thing I’ve been missing for years is a decent LDAP browser.

It looks like I finally have found what I’ve been looking for. The Apache Directory project have released a tool called Apache Direcotry LDAP Studio which is based on Eclipse, which means that it runs on Windows, Linux and OSX without having to anything strange.

They have some screenshots which shows what it can do;

This is the browser it self

And it can work with the schema

Or you if you have eclipse installed already then you can add http://directory.apache.org/ldapstudio/update to software updates, and install it that way – even better as you then only will have one eclipse installed.

This is almost too good to be true.
