Things I Found Interesting Around June 21st
- How to build a web widget (using jQuery)
- Is this form field taken?
A jQuery placeholder-enabling plugin - Vmware Fusion with MAMP Pro?
I haven’t actually gotten it to work yet, but it would be nice to be able to see the same localhost stuff on my Windows side as I can on my Mac side - Boxee – FAQ
I was looking into what the software possibilities are for ditching the AppleTV and going Mac Mini… - Plex Media Center for OS X
- equinux – MediaCentral
- An Introduction to HTML5 Storage
I’m using XBMC (http://xbmc.org) on a $200 Acer nettop and I love it. Boxee is a fork of XBMC, I believe.
in regards to vm fusion, I’ve been using Virtual Box, and I can actually use it in conjunction with MAMP or Django, or whatever else is running local host on my mac.
There’s a specific IP that Virtual Box ties to the local host of the mac.
A little bit of work in the hosts file yielded me a “maclocalhost” option that allowed me to look at anything that’s running local on my mac. This has helped me get excellent cross-browser testing in, as well as helping with multi-user testing.
