Google Chrome announced. Another browser choice
Submitted by albert on Mon, 2008-09-01 22:36Google Chrome Comic is really a comic strip about the new browser call Chrome.
For now http://www.google.com/chrome is the supposed home for this site. It gives a file not found. So, they still have more releasing to do!
Based on webkit as well as other open source projects. At the end of the comic Google seems to be taking a jab at Microsoft. They certainly could have created a closed and proprietary new browser. While never mentioning Microsoft by name, what other browser is proprietary? None that I can think off.
If they can make money off of open source projects, Microsoft should find out how. Also, they should port Developers Studio over to the Mac.
Chrome will be coming soon!

Getting all the P4 files
Submitted by luke on Tue, 2008-08-05 11:55You will need wget on your system! See http://www.asitis.org/installing-wget-for-mac-os-x for the Mac. If you have Windows, well, you will need to do something else.
If you want to get all the Perforce files in one step, try this:
#!/bin/bash
cd perforce
mkdir Win32
cd Win32
wget http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/r08.1/bin.ntx86/p4vinst.exe
wget http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/r08.1/bin.ntx86/perforce.exe
wget http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/r08.1/bin.ntx86/p4webinst.exe
wget http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/r08.1/bin.ntx86/p4dtg.exe
wget http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/r08.1/bin.ntx86/p4winst.exe
wget http://www.perforce.com/downloads/perforce/r07.3/bin.ntx86/p4gt.exe

Build Understanding Document
Submitted by luke on Fri, 2008-08-01 07:06Having an agreement between developers and the build team will keep everyone's expectations in check.
Below should be the minimum of any document.
You need at least these items:
What output is expected?
What setup is needed?
Configuration:
Pre-requisites:
What input will be used?
VCS: Branch? Modules?
Line counting in Windows
Submitted by luke on Wed, 2008-07-30 11:52SET /A LINES=0 && FOR /F "usebackq" %L IN (`dir /s/ad/b`) DO @SET /A LINES=!LINES!+1
Will show you a poor excuse for the "wc -l" function.

Development Process tool
Submitted by luke on Fri, 2008-07-18 13:50Introduction to OpenUP discusses the SDP "Open UP". Yet, it is not just another process doc. It is based on the Eclipse Platform's Eclipse Process Framework (EPF). This allows teams to define work flow using Eclipse.
I need to sharpen up on Team Foundation Server, but if I had the time and choice. I would evaluate EPF.
