I came across this problem today. I was attempting to create a new binary file using Ruby and tried the following:
While this worked on the *nix os, it resulted in a corrupt binary file when run in WINXP.
To create a binary file in ruby you will need to include the “wb” option. See below.
Bye!
I’m a list junkie and Remember the Milk is where I get the hit…
If you ‘re the same you can download a simple Adobe Air application I put together with the Remember The Milk website inserted in an iframe. Plus a little extra.
Doing web development work my browsers and WinXP taskbar can get messy. In a typical setup, I’ll have Firefox running(with several tabs), Internet Explorer 7, possibly 6 too, an IDE EG Aptana Studio or Editplus, probably a few explorer folders and 4 console windows too.
Yes messy I know.
Now you can imagine what that taskbar looks like, and in the midst of this boiling cauldron, in a Firefox tab will lurk http://www.rememberthemilk.com/. It can be a pain to find it.
Wouldn’t it be great if I could keep the http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ seperate from the rest of the Firefox tabs? Perhaps with a distinctive easy to locate icon too.
Ideally I would have http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ running in system tray, not visible in the taskbar and it would disappear back to the system tray when I minimise it, waiting ready to be restored again at short notice…. if only…..
Da Ding!!
BTW the systemtray feature is WinXP only. Perhaps a dock version will appear shortly
