A selection of VoiceOver keyboard commands

leave a comment

One of the many great things about using a Mac as your development machine is VoiceOver, the screen reader that ships with every copy of Mac OS X. Testing your work in a screen reader is only a small part of building accessible websites, but it helps you understand the need for many accessibility guidelines.

Ruby, PHP, MySQL, and Perl issues when upgrading Mac OS X from Leopard to Snow Leopard

leave a comment

I bought Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on the day it was released, but didn’t gather enough courage to go ahead and install it until a week ago. Yep, it’s been collecting dust on my shelf for over six months.

Upgrading between major revisions of Mac OS X has bitten me several times in the past, mostly because I use my Mac as a web development machine. I need Apache, PHP, MySQL, Perl, Ruby and a whole bunch of Ruby gems in working order, and it seems like major Read the rest of this entry »\'
