Snow Leopard and my local SVN repository
Figured this may save someone a minute or headache…Quick note – Snow Leopard hosed my svn.conf file on upgrade; it may do it to you Figured this may save someone a minute or headache…
I had my Subversion configuration details in its own file residing in ‘/etc/apache2/other/svn.conf’ where I declared my password file, etc. Upgrading to Snow Leopard ‘erased’ this file, among other other conf files, and suddenly my repo went puff. Re-creating this file and restarting Apache fixed this.
Upgrading your Mac?
… oh so brief a message. One sentence only!
If you’re thinking about upgrading to a newer Mac and go the refurbished route (I do); buying new from Amazon saves you tax making retail that much more attractive so you may be able to move to a newer lappy with long lasting battery, etc. for the same money (after adding tax) as you would have spent at Apple.
Mac power adapter cables….
get brittle and break! I’ve just found out that, if you _carry_ your mac and work anywhere, camping out and in continuously, the thin cable (one with magsafe adapter) gets mighty hot while computer _shugs_ along.
