In my previous post I explained the 2 main options for networking in VMWare Fusion. Enough with the back story. In this post I’m assuming that you are using NAT and you want to set up port forwarding. VMWare Fusion still has no GUI for setting up port forwarding, so we have to go into the […]

A while back, I switched over to using a MacBook Pro at work, and I’ve loved it. We have a company policy that all laptop hard drives must be fully encrypted. This poses a problem for the would be BootCampers. When you use the default utilities, you can’t have both OS X and Windows encrypted.

As anyone who glances at my posts will quickly notice, I’ve been on a bit of an automation kick recently. I find automation to be refreshingly simple and fun. I’ve been pushing a lot at work to integrate automated tests into our development cycle, and I’m hoping that all my work will pay off soon.

I like to spend most of my time in OS X. I have nothing against Windows. All operating systems are nothing more than tools, and you don’t here people yelling at each other in Home Depot about Black & Decker v Dewalt so why is it that we get so up in arms about Apple

A while back I decided it was about time for me to get some real database management software. I do a lot with SQLite databases, and we also use Oracle at work. I wanted a database administration software that could do everything for me. I find it really annoying to have one program for Oracle, and

I’ve always been quite a fan of using the recommended technologies when developing in different platforms. In iOS you learn Objective-C and you use Java for Android. By using the recommended technologies you can usually get more support and understanding of what you’re doing. The more abstract your development becomes, the more difficult things can
