Dream in the beutiful light of Manhattan in day of night while clear your cluttered mind of all the jetsom and flotsom of day to day to day living.
Come down to me with your bright halo of knowldge and see that it is but glass to look though and see better the light at the end of waking.
We are the god given the back broken. Come down to the heavy heavy ground and leap downward to break free of the ties of the heart.
Have joy in the knowing that knowing is not. Give unto me your violant seeming of tightly held illusions and I will pass back the same. We are the same.
This is a topic that I really have to bone up on. I have shied away from this subject too often. Kevin McCabe mentioned it on his blog and I ran with it. Both articles that he points out are great and I learned a bunch. Writing a functional spec is something that I can talk about at length but need to actually do. 
<rant> OK this pisses me off. people start a blog and say not a single thing about who the heck they are! I had to do a WHOIS to get Kevin’s name. hehe man please please at least make a simple pagelet and put some basic info about yourself in it with at least your name.

Subversion (SVN) is the only versioning system that I use in my development toolbox. I also am a mac user (home and work). So while reading the comments on Raymond Camden’s blog entry about source control I see that at least one wayward Mac user need some direction with SVN.
Very easy to impliment and use. I did three things, though for most only the first two need to be done. I downloaded/installed SVN. I installed Subeclipse and I got it all working with Apache so I could access the repository via Webdav.
Download the Subversion package that Metissian put to gether. You don’t need to do any compiling it just installs and works. BOO-YAH!
Then head over to Subclipse and install it. very easy. The directions they give make it very easy on you. Oh YEAH!
Ok Done for those of you that are happy with getting it installed and using it with Eclipse.
I went an extra step and installed Fink on my machine so that I could get a version of Apache with the mod_dav_svn.so module installed. Well I used fink to install this package: libapache2-mod-svn. Once you do (warning you need a good amount of time to get this done) you need to edit the /sw/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file to have this set up:
LoadModule authz_svn_module /sw/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_svn.so
<location "/svn">
DAV svn
SVNParentPath "/Library/svnrepos"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile "/Library/svnconf/svn-auth"
Require valid-user
</location>
The “SVNParentPath” option can be switched with “SVNPath” if you will only have one repository. Me? I have a bunch. If you have any questions comment away I’d be glad to tell you more.
As I do on most mornings I read through different blogs and webzines. I ran across this small gem of a non-tech entry in one of my tech blogs I read (this one by Mike Kruger). A great entry that made me think about my daughter and I just could not remember something she said that was similar to what Mike had talked about.
I am sure she did say something but still it sent that warmth through my heart thinking about her and how smart she is. She amazes me all the time on how perseptive she is. Her desire to be heard is very strong. And I have to remember not to squelch any of these qualities that I admire in my daughter.
