Update 2009-10-18: It seems like this is no longer an issue for me with Snow Leopard. Don’t know why, but it stopped happening on my MacBook once I upgraded. I got a new iMac at work and installed Snow Leopard with the free upgrade disk that came with it. I have the same setup, a mighty mouse and wireless keyboard. I’ve not yet had the problem. The only issue is once in a while when coming out of sleep I need to restart bluetooth for it to detect the mouse/keyboard. This happens rarely though, maybe once every 10 sleeps or so. I hope they backport this fix, whatever it is to Leopard for people who don’t plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Many people with OSX Leopard have been experiencing a number of problems with Bluetooth. Apple has released several patches trying to remedy these issues, the latest of which was with this week’s 10.5.8 update. Being skeptical of success–10.5.7 included Bluetooth fixes that didn’t help–I updated yesterday and crossed my fingers. Well, today I can tell you, to no surprise, I’m still having Bluetooth issues with my MacBook while using a Mighty Mouse and Apple wireless keyboard. I’m assuming other also are in the same boat as me, so let’s take look at what’s going on. Continue reading Bluetooth Problems on OSX Leopard with Mighty Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard

This is the second part of a series which reviews in-depth the process of building a PHP environment on OS X Leopard. Please read Part 1 of this series before continuing.
A Little about PHP
Before building anything new, let’s look at what we already have. OS X Leopard comes with PHP already installed as both the command line executable (from now on referred to as CLI) and as an Apache shared module.
The PHP CLI and the Apache module of PHP are completely separate versions of PHP.
Neither requires the other to function. You can generate one and not the other or both at the same time. The reasons behind the two seperate versions is simple: Continue reading Configuring PHP on OS X Leopard: the Gritty Details (Part 2)

Introduction
If you’ve used PHP for development on OS X long enough, you’ve probably run into a few headaches (especially if your on a 64-bit system). Maybe it was trying to enable GD support or use Xdebug, but at some point things went crazy. There are many articles online dealing with fixes to individual issues (like activating GD), but often they’re conflicting and the writer doesn’t fully explain the mechanics of what’s being suggesting. Usually, this isn’t too much of a problem as you’ll eventually find a combination of articles or post that gets up and running and for you to get back to coding PHP. All is good… Continue reading Configuring PHP on OS X Leopard: the Gritty Details (Part 1)

I don’t normally write reviews, but anything that accelerates my productivity has to get props. As I’m primary a coder, I’ve not done a great deal of blogging so using the web interface for my blog (WordPress’s wp-admin page) was enough to get me by. Now that I’m writing significantly more, the web interface has gotten . . . → Read More: ScribeFire and Deepest Sender: Simple, Fast, and Easy to Use Bloggin Client
