In order to get Git working in RubyMine, you’ll need to go into preferences and setup the path for the executable.

Preferences > VCSs > Git

Free IRC client for Mac

February 1st, 2010

The one thing that I miss about Linux and Windows is the number of quality Open Source projects there available.  I’m all about spending money for software.  Programmers need to eat too.  But if I’m spending money, I would like a little support.  And as I was researching a few IRC clients – most wanted money – little talked about what they offered for support.  Not to mention – some haven’t been updated in years.

So, I came across this product – LimeChat.  At least it gets me to the point where I can ask what everyone recommends.

I’ll post more info later, if I decide to switch to another product or let you know how this one is working out.

Remote Desktop on a Mac

February 1st, 2010

Well, if pigs aren’t flying and hell isn’t frozen, I’m on a Mac.  Yes, after years of resistance, my quest to learn Ruby On Rails has landed me working on a Mac.  Mac Mini to be exact.

So, I wanted to connect to my PC over VPN and got the following message:

You were disconnected from the Windows based computer because of network problems.

Once I got to the office, I discovered the issue wasn’t with the Mac – but with my PC!  I had not enabled Remote Desktop on it after rebuilding it.
