With my setup at home I have a virtual machine running Debian that has my development environment and code. I use samba to mount my working copy to OS X. Initially I had a bunch of issues trying to using my Mac subversion clients with this working copy. I kept getting the following error:

Can't move '/Volumes/samba_share/.svn/tmp/entries' to '/Volumes/samba_share/.svn/entries': Operation not permitted

I've been using Komodo Edit for a while and have now decided to give Komodo IDE a try. I like that it is cross platform, so I can use it on my Mac at home or at work on my Windows box. It isn't super fast on initial load but it's too bad, and once it's up performance seems quite good.

On my Windows box I've integrated it with SVN and set it up to use WinMerge as the diff tool. Previously I was always using tortoisesvn and I still like it. But it's nice not having to constantly switch between my editor and windows explorer to see file changes and perform diffs and commits.

To get WinMerge working with Komodo I did the following:

• Created a bat file with the following command in it:
  start "WinMerge" /B /WAIT "C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" /e /ub /dl %3 /dr %5 %6 %7


• In my subversion config [ C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Subversion ] change my diff-cmd setting:
  
  diff-cmd = "C:\path_to_file\svn_winmerge.bat"


• In Komodo... Edit -> Preferences -> Source Code Control -> Subversion
  
  Check the box "Uses an external diff tool"

So I've finally gotten around to updating my website again... it's been a while... over 3.5 years since the last real blog post... back when I was getting ready to move into York St.

So far I've upgrade Movable Type and am playing around a new template. My "elsewhere" links have been switched over to use my delicious bookmarks.

Hopefully I'll find time to make some more changes.
