I recently started using Mac as my secondary laptop but after a few days of being a "mac user" I was really missing the mc (Midnight Commander) command-line utility. Here is a quick guide how to install it in Mac OS (tested under Mac OS version 10.8.1).

Le Chef

During last years I haven't seen a good comedy, a good French comedy, sorry, until I watched the "Le Chef" by Daniel Cohen. It's a light movie I highly recommend for family watching.

Tail for Windows?

You would agree that linux's terminal and window's cmd.exe are not comparable things, there are a lot of things which are not available in cmd and one of those missing things is the tail utility which I find very useful to watch updates in debug log files.
Here are two solutions I use to get the same functionality on Windows.

Ubuntu on the Vaio S series

At the end of the spring I have bought a new laptop, my previous one (Samsung Q…. not sure what the exact model was too slow for me). My choice came to the Vaio S series from Sony, it’s a nice laptop with hi-res screen and keyboard illumination (which is important for me when I code in the night).



It has pre-installed windows OS, but recently I tried to move all developments to linux and what a surprise.. after installing ubuntu on it, the laptop was heating like crazy.
