Collabnet have produced a pdf quick reference card for Subversion 1.6.  If you’re wanting to get started with Subversion, get a free Subversion account at Storehouse.

Apple has updated their interface for managing iPhone Apps, by adding a section to view customers’ crash reports.  This will make debugging apps much easier.

So far, version 1.1.3 of Recipes App has never crashed on me, and it appears has never crashed for anyone else either as there are no crash reports available for it (yet!).  But if crash reports start coming in, I will be able to look into them and hopefully fix the bugs before they affect too many other people.

If you have downloaded Recipes App, please submit an app review in the App Store.

I always find it interesting to know what tools other people use for their web development.  Here’s my list:

• MacBook (black) – I love the portability
• Bluetooth Mighty Mouse – Apple please fix the scroll ball.
• TimeCapsule 500GB – Backups, to be honest its mostly got videos on it.  I need more space.
• LinkSys ATA – VOIP to the office in NZ.
• Software:
  • Firefox 3.0.9 – Im getting tired of how long it takes to open Firefox.  Being a developer, I usually have lots of tabs open… right now I have 34 tabs open.
  • Firebug – Best development helper ever.
  • Coda – panic.com/coda – Best code editor I’ve ever used, but please fix the search feature (why doesnt it find all strings that match the search text the first time?! – I have to to a Search/Replace multiple times to get all matches, ew)
  • Versions – versionsapp.com – Subversion client.  Love.
  • Things – culturedcode.com/things – Keeping track of to-do’s, ideas etc.  I also have the iPhone version.
  • Terminal – multiple windows always open.  I made a custom theme that looks like the first computer we ever had (black background with yellowy-orange text)
  • Mail – Great built-in mail app.
  • VMWare Fusion – vmware.com – All my development is done on local virtual machines (VM’s/VPS’s) running Debian Etch/Lenny.  I always have at least one open, often more.  I generally run them with only 128MB RAM each (my MacBook only has 2GB RAM which doesnt seem to be enough).
    I also have non-cli operating systems installed for testing code on different browsers.
    I would love to move this off to another machine to save me some memory: http://twitter.com/robertkern/status/1605041064
  • VPN – Built-in Mac VPN client for connecting to the office.
  • Adium – Chat connected to multiple chat systems including our own OpenFire installation for internal communication.
  • Transmit – panic.com/transmit – Great FTP client.  I dont need to use FTP too often, but when I do, this is a great app to use.
  • Photoshop – When I need to make image edits I use Photoshop, although I think i’d like to move over to Pixelmator.
  • FileMerge – For diff-ing files.
• Pot of tea with damnfinetea.  Or a plunger of coffee.  Bottle of water.

I generally have most of these apps open at the same time (excluding probably Transmit and Photoshop which I dont use often enough to keep open).
