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

I added “delete readonly = yes” to the global section of my smb.conf file and this solved the issue.

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 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.

Well, while checking out Ruby on Rails apps I stumbled upon 43 Things. It’s a really simple idea, and well done too. It asks “What do you want to do with your life?” and allows you to create a list of 43 things that you would like to do. The coolest part though is the social networking part of seeing other people’s goals and seeing who has similar goals.

As you can see, I got rid of that calendar and added my list of goals to the right side of my blog. The calendar was pretty stagnant and not useful. It’s all about doing things… and stuff… Well it’s more about setting goals and accomplishing them.

What I think would be cool is the ability to post, say a book review, to my weblog and have it automatically be sent to Amazon or some other review site.

With tagging It would also be possible to create aggregators that crawl weblogs looking for certain types of tagged content.

But it’s pretty funny reading what people say about it.

Blogs are about to evolve, however, thanks to an idea called tagging. Tagging is a software tweak that’s already used on photo-sharing site Flickr.com, for example. Here’s how it works: As the site’s users post their photos for everyone on Flickr.com to see, they tag a photo taken in, say, Iraq, with a tagline, “Iraq.”

It seems so basic. The idea has been around forever. But with Flickr doing it actually becomes useful for a lot of people. And that’s what it takes to make it mainstream. I hope more people learn about this cool new idea of tagging.

However, I think the biggest thing is that it has the Amazon review and recommendation system built into it. Each business gets it’s own page where people can review the business and even upload their own pictures. Furthermore, it allows (or at least seems to allow) users to update business information. Example: my local Domino’s back in Akron ended up moving and is now located in Ephrata. However the old location is still shown in the Yellow Pages. So I clicked on “Update Business Info,” and filled in the new info. I’m hoping to see the change… we’ll see how long it takes.

The “Click to Call Business” feature also looks cool. I’ll have to try it out.
