Force.com IDE in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
Posted by chris | Filed under Uncategorized
Being a salesforce.com Constultant I use the Force.com IDE all day every day. However I wanted to be able to use it in Ubuntu. I have see many attempts. However I was finally able to get it working. EXCELLENT:
I found my inspiration from friendlyarm.com
Download Java:
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk
and insert /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun on the top of file /etc/jvm ($sudo gedit /etc/jvm)
$cat /etc/jvm
# This file defines the default system JVM search order. Each
# JVM should list their JAVA_HOME compatible directory in this file.
# The default system JVM is the first one available from top to
# bottom.
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr
Extract and Run.
Follow these instructions to get the Force.com IDE setup.

Hello Friends– It has been a very long time since I wrote anything in the blog. I think it is time to provide my friends and family a little update.
First and foremost I have a new job. It allows me to work from home and travel. I get to spend a lot of time with my wife and children. It is wonderful. I am now a full time salesforce.com consultant. I work for a company based in chicago. I am working with one of their clients that is a VERY HUGE software company based in Palo Alto. It is a great job and I love it!
This also means that I left LANDesk. I truly loved that job. I had many great friends and that job will be missed.
It was also time for a BLOG update. I changed the layout so that I could have some pics of the kids up there. They are such a huge part of my life and I wanted to share some of there awesome new pictures with you all.
That is all for now–Toph.

Engadget — Google gas pumps: the savior of lost men
Posted by Chris | Filed under Uncategorized
(I know that my wife will agree with that title.)
Soon, you will never have to admit that you’re lost and suffer the humiliation of asking for directions. Google is expected to announce a partnership today with Gilbarco Veeder-Root, to include Google’s mapping service on 3,500 Internet enabled gasoline pumps across the US. The maps will be available on the pump’s small screen giving motorists the ability to scroll through local landmarks, hotels, restaurants, and hospitals to the bemusement of the guy waiting behind you. The pump will even print directions. The service is said to be ad-free but will offer coupons — that sounds a lot like advertising to us. Look for the gPumps to arrive courtesy of that Encore S rig pictured above.
