Mac Pro fan loud?
My Mac Pro has been increasingly loud over the past weeks. Turned out to be a dirty graphics card fan (ATI Radeon X1900 XT) - a little compressed air and the computer is more or less running silent.

git bash tab-completion
Highly useful tip for tab-completion in git. Now I can type git branch <tab> and see a list of all branches in my origin and all fetched remotes.
Passing along arguments to QUnit tests - jQuery Forum
We’re auto-generating some unit tests for Sakai 3, so John Resig’s post here was very helpful in determining how to pass arguments in to a generated QUnit test

To synchronize your keychain on this computer
/System/Library/Frameworks/SecurityFoundation.framework/Versions/A/kcSync.app/Contents/MacOS/kcSync -reset
I was having trouble with a syncing my keychains via MobileMe today (first time syncing). MobileMe prompted me that I needed to input a password for the computer this keychain was stored on. Unfortunately, it didn’t list a computer that the password was for, and none of my passwords worked. Eventually, I found this mailing list entry which had this command, and solved my issue.
Upon entering the command in your Terminal, hit cancel on the popup. It’ll then reset, and you can continue syncing.

Millions of dollars spent on the development of Windows 7, and it comes with the same crappy screensavers as XP? Lame.

Conway’s Game of Life in Processing.js
I created an implementation of Conway’s Game of Life and have it up and running over at http://code.chrisroby.com/conway/. It runs in an HTML5 <canvas> via Processing.js, so you’ll need a modern browser to view it.
I wrote this up initially in openFrameworks and then ported it over to Processing to try out Processing.js. My algorithm isn’t very efficient, so the frame rate drops and the fans start spinning as you get over the 500x500 pixels with 10px cells setup that I have, at least on my machine (2008 MacBook aka the BlackBook).
Fun project, and first time doing anything on <canvas>.
XML cannot be the whole program
No good Google’d resources on this one, but here’s the solution:
Firebug throws this error when its expecting a script as the return dataType of your AJAX response. Set your dataType to XML (or HTML, if appropriate) and it’ll no longer try to parse the response as a script, fixing the error.
