Recently, I installed TCL/TK and grabbed
I was interested in a smarter diff because of cr-lf problems I recently introduced while sailing back and forth across the windows/linux time-space continuum. Well, TKDiff barfed on all that. Can’t hold it against it, tho…
So I guess I am back where I started for now… I manually patched up the CR-LF problems, and I am back to liking TKDiff the best at this point… what a roller coaster ride, man I got a headache… to be continued…
I access my Linux box CVS repository from my Windows box using Tortoise CVS. It prompts you for a password all day long, which is a PITA. Tortoise CVS docs explain the possible ways to fix this. The most official way is to set up SSH to use a private key with no passphrase – as long as it finds the file, you will get authenticated. Here’s what I did:
DANG, it works! Cool… now take care of that private key file! :>
I host an IP-restricted squid proxy at the digital machine. For anyone that’s using it, ad filtering is now ON, thanks to AdZapper. Feedback welcome.
OK, skinning HTDJ well really requires rewriting all the controls to be my own. MFC is really nasty about getting it all right – I am sure it is possible to get controls that draw without flash over bitmapped backgrounds, but it is NOT fun. So… I am trying a shift in gears…
ZINF is very close to what I need for the next HTDJ – skinning, streaming, etc., etc. It has none of the cool features of HTDJ… time for a little MERGING wahoooooo!
There’s a new version of Visual Studio coming out called Everett – actually very interesting, compared to the current version of VS 7 – they are targeting C++ ISO conformance and hitting 98% or better – “But our favorite benchmark is that we’re compiling the popular Boost, Blitz, and Loki libraries without the need for special workarounds”. Excellent, sounds worth the switch this time.
