Handling the move from Linux to Mac OS X
I have recently acquired myself a Apple Mac mini, while being in Apple county (That is California). As one might suspect, as it is the only Mac to fit in the hand luggage (Laptops apart). Fortunately I got the secretly upgraded version with a 1.5 GHz G4. It also got fitted with 1GB RAM, now I was at it…
Complete story in the HOWTOs section.
The problem:
`gem install mysql` failed with a
can't find header files for ruby.
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
The problem seemed to be related with the fresh version of XCode 2.2, which introduces support for the intel architecture (Who needs that anyway).
Google Groups : comp.lang.ruby had the solution. Not pretty, but it works. Now one can continue hacking some RoR.
Just wanted you to know :)
Americans must be picky about the weather. Fine by us, as we made it to the San Diego edition of SeaWorld on what probably is the only day this year with grey clouds, hanging over the whole state – And with an apparently very low turnout in the theme park. All good as we could go around without beeing boild, and no queues to any of the shows.
Killer Whales, Dolphins, Seals and Gentoo Penguins in the gallery.
This was a good one. EAB is about 130 miles from Fullerton, and is one of those black holes on Google Maps. Apart from that it is a US Airforce and NASA test facility. And this week it was open for different kind of public relations, ending in an airshow open to the public (And free too).
So they had pulled what seemed to at least one of every thing they had, able to fly, out in the open. There was everything from A-10 to F-117. That is:
Some guys called Tora Tora Tora made quiet a spectacular show, trying to make it look like the bombing of Pearl Harbour in 1941. And a bit of dogfighting to go with that. The pyrotechnics they had to go with it was ok (Although the result was looking like LA smog). What was a bit annoying was the nationalistic narration of the hole thing.
The gallery has the pictures.
We got the Bluez (And hence GPRS) and decided to upload one of our pictures (Yesss, we are at it allready ;-).
DSB is in the process of moving us from Århus to Kastrup (CPH).
As the picture shows: We are doing fine (Send more money though, the DSB coffe is as expensive as it is bad :)
On tuesday I will be taking off on a two week vacation in (mainly) The State of California, USA, visiting Ulrik.
This is gonna be a new experience – Or deffinatly a quiet different one – to my useual vacations. Over the latest years I have been to Kazakhstan, Russia, Australia, Nederlande and Spain. That would all be place with a more relaxed attitude towards themselves (OK, I don’t know about the first two, since I don’t speak russian), so I’m a bit excited to see how the americans will take a bit of “abuse”.
Anyho – The schedule goes like this:
Somewhere in between we (I’m traveling with Michael) will go to San Francisco to have a look at the place. With a bit of luck we will be saying hello to Poul, who is working on his Ph.D. at Berkley. If you know your UNIX history, you will also be aware of this site’s involvement in the matter.
Other TODOs involve getting a Mac mini and the new iPod video – Can’t wait to get to fiddle with those toys.

Ulrik has finaly started putting stuff on his blog about his [work] trip to the Americas – That is more excatly in Los Angeles.
Read the stories from a pig in america on his site:
Embrace, extend and extinguish on Wikipedia is a good read. If you are disgusted by M$s techniques, this will not make you a happy camper.
