Some organizations are providing just patches. Others, like Percona are providing their own binaries–effectively forks of MySQL/InnoDB. Taking things a step further, the OurDelta project aims to aggregate these third party patches and provide source and binaries for various platforms. In essences, you can get a « better » MySQL than the one Sun/MySQL gives you today. For free.

Jeremy Zawodny: The New MySQL Landscape

Michel Fortin propose une solution très simple. Il a créé un fichier pour les claviers canadiens-français (CSA) en remplaçant le drapeau canadien par le drapeau québécois. Je l’ai installé il y a quelques jours et ça semble bien fonctionner. Par contre, je recommande de redémarrer la session après l’installation du fichier créé par Michel (qui peut-être aussi installé dans le dossier de l’usager à ~/Bibliothèque/Keyboard Layouts/). Il semble que sur Léopard, le Finder et Path Finder prennent en compte cette modification qu’après avoir démarré une nouvelle session après l’installation du fichier.

I think I will check again FileSpot when the new version will come out. (I’m especially interested by the « Menu bar item with global hot-keys »).

If you install MacFuse, you should get MacFusion, which is a nice front end GUI for MacFuse. [via Infinite Loop]

* I’m not a customer of Panic.

* I didn’t write to Panic about this bug.

* I run an obscure blog.

* I said that Coda was not for me (well, I could buy a Coda « light »).

* But they contacted me to see whether their fix for the terminal was working.

So, in the end, Panic really digs the web and all that stuff about the « market as a conversation ».

function pathfinder {
	open -a "Path Finder" $1
}

Then in terminal, to open the current directory do
% pathfinder .

You can open also a specified directory:
% pathfinder /Users/me/Desktop

Since Path Finder can call appropriate applications or open in itself different type of documents, you can also do the following:
% pathfinder ShellScripting.pdf

Also, the terminal have problem with my FreeBSD server. If I load my .bashrc config or launch vim, I get a garbled screen. And then, the only way to really quit the terminal, is to quit Coda, closing only the window seems not to work, because when I launch a new terminal, I get again the old window.

My mini reviews sound very negative, but in fact, Coda is very nice. I could use it as a sysadmin. I like very much the integration of a SFTP browser, a terminal window, a Web browser and a good editor. I can foresee a use to edit configurations files on the server, or do a quick modification on a web page. But I don’t see myself working all the day in Coda. I think Panic could do a « sysadmin » version, less expensive, with just the FTP/SFTP browser, the Web Browser, the text editor and the terminal, getting rid of the CSS editor and the included books on Javascript, CSS, HTML and PHP.
