Helpers in OS X Safari

subversion (snv) locale

Several people on the net have had problms installing subversion due to an error of the form: "error: cannot set LC ALL locale". In general, this svn installation error can be fixed using the comment setenv LC_ALL C to use the (portable) POSIX locale (this is for the csh/tcsh shell family, otherwise use export LC_ALL=C). I believe you also need this setting whenever svn is invoked. You may also have to insert the line export LC_ALL=C as the second line of the file subversion/svnversion/svnversion for installation.

SST CP16-DB EQUINOX CONNECTOR PANEL

I have a spare Equinox CP16-DB connector panel on hand, and I would be willing to let it go to any interested party for a very reasonable price. Mail me at dudek@cim.mcgill.ca.

gpsd

I have created a binary of gpsd built for the MIPS cpu used in the wrt54g wireless router. This binary may not support the proprietary Garmin protocol. This is suitable for use with openwrt and perhaps other linux-based firmware alternatives. If you use this, please let me know so I can figure out if I should update it.
