On Linux, this worked wonderfully, and everything was installed using the regular easy_install method with no troubles. However on OS X it wasn't quite so easy. First I tried using easy_install but it failed ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2008/06/20/installing-psycopg2-on-os-x/ It's nearing the end of another semester, and a lot has been going on. My classes are wrapping up well; most of the hard projects are over with. It's been quite a bit of work getting used to a full course load, but I'm satisfied with my performance. My ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2008/05/06/end-of-another-semester/ I made a post about how Travis and I were starting an adventure with carnivorous plants. Well, we had done everything exactly as the directions said, but we were unsuccessful. The plants never sprouted, and we were very disappointed. In fact, just the other day I was ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2007/12/22/plants-are-hard/ I'm usually pretty skeptical of flash games. Most of them seem to be mildly entertaining remakes of puzzle or arcade games, so usually I find them to be forgettable. But every once in a while I find a game that really grabs me. Tonight, I found one ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2007/04/12/amazing-flash-game/ This guide is old and probably outdated. I used these steps to compile and install rTorrent 0.7.4/libTorrent 0.11.4 So, you've come to the realization that most of the OS X BitTorrent clients aren't up to par with those offered on other platforms. Until today, I had been using the ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2007/02/14/running-rtorrent-on-os-x/ Travis Bradshaw and I ordered some carnivorous plants for our office and they are going to be amazing. Too bad right now we're just embarking on the start of the process known as stratification which (in our situation) is totally crappy. Basically, it means we wait while the ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2006/09/28/carnivorous-plants/ So, I heard from Amber that GameStop was trying to get rid of a lot of their used games and had a giant $10 and under display. Well, since most of the games I buy are under $10 I had to go give it a shot. I ended ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2006/09/17/video-game-woes/ So, today I had to transfer a large amount of data from a NetBSD box to a new Gentoo server and I ran into some issues. First, I had to move eight gigabytes of data. Well, first thing I did was try a recursive scp but it seems ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2006/09/15/command-line-tip/ So, I don't update this blog very often. Mainly because I find that I just don't really have time to sit down and write a nice long update all the time. And, I don't really enjoy writing long posts. They always turn into rants and I find ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2006/09/06/notehack-ruby-on-rails-and-textmate/ So, I just got back from the premiere of Snakes on a Plane, and I must say that it is the finest work of American film that I have ever experienced. Once you get past the plot holes, bad acting, and complete lack of a resolution, there's a spectular ... http://blog.jonypawks.net/2006/08/18/snakes-on-a-plane/
