11/30/2006Zope 3 benchmark revisited: PowerBook vs. MacBook ProAfter a little more than two and a half years, I retired my PowerBook
G4 and got myself a brandnew MacBook Pro. While I was at the Plone
Conference in Seattle, Apple had finally upgraded the MacBook Pro to
the Core 2 Duo. I had been waiting for that upgrade to happen, not
only for performance reasons, but also because I was betting that they
would upgrade other things along with it -- and ...

How to install IE6 on Mac OS X (Intel)With the advent of my gorgeous new MacBook Pro, I obviously want to

advantages is executing Windows binaries using Wine.
Now, I've got Parallels set up with Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux,
allowing me to test things in foreign browsrs like IE and Konqueror

11/22/2006Encrypting part of your $HOME on Mac OS XLet's face it, you always end up having sensitive data on your laptop.
If you ever have your laptop stolen (and I have!), this sensitive data
may fall into the wrong hands. It's not that I carry nuclear missile
launch codes around with me, but thinking that a simple laptop thief
may easily access
VPN keys that for accessing customer networks,
customer code that I have signed NDAs ...

11/04/2006Which Five version do I need?From the learn-something-new-each-day department:
A common question amongst Zope2istas is "Which Five version do I need?". At
the Plone sprint in Seattle, I found some Plonistas with big question marks

11/03/2006A blast from the pastHere's a blast from the past:
http://www.zope.org/Credits
It still looks like 1998 (screenshot)!
In fact, it still says the stuff that it used to say in 1998. I suppose it's

11/02/2006Plone Conference 2006 blows away
Cab driver: "So, what brings you to Seattle?"
Me: "A software conference."
Cab driver: "Ah, of course."
Me: "No, it's not Microsoft. In fact, it's quite the opposite. We make software that doesn't cost anything."
Cab driver: "Software that doesn't cost anything? Really?"
