XCode meets Mono

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 10:15:12 +0000

And… seems to be a nice meeting. ;) After a lot of development, the comunity surrounding the project realeases last stable version 1.2.3.1 of Mono.

What about [en:Mac_OS_X|Mac OS X]? Here is a dedicated page on the official wiki of Mono. And, in particular, I’m happy to highlight a tutorial/howto about XCode and Mono integration: CSharpPlugin.

I know that [en:Mono_(software)|Mono] is the open-source implementation of [en:.NET_Framework|.Net] (started by [en:Novell]), and that I hate [en:Microsoft|M$], but… I can’t hate a framework. It’s like to hate the [en:Plutonium] because we make the [en:Atomic_Bomb] with it! ;)

Compiling FreeBSD Kernel

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 02:28:39 +0000

A custom kernel boots up the system faster, it takes up lesser memory space and one can install drivers for special hardware not supported by a default kernel…

How to get it wrong? ;)

Here is a interesting guide to compile the Kernel for FreeBSD.
