20050729 Dia for Mac?

I was wondering if there was something like Dia for Mac. I remembered I used that for documenting and create the basic source classes for my final university project, and I was wondering if it would be possible to have it running on mac. First searches are very negative, and I couldn't figure out how the Class Diagrams of XCode (the development environment for mac) worked (maybe I was way too sleepy…)

Anybody, any suggestion? :-)

Word wrapping in eclipse … still a mistery

How can it be possible that somebody decides to develop a code editor without word wrapping? Am I expected to wrap each line manually? For god's sake! We are on 2005! Even notepad does it!

I even tried to update the php editor to the latest version, and the option still didn't appear anywhere. I tried to search on forums… nobody had a good answer. Some of the people even added a screenshot to demonstrate that the option appeared for some computers, but the best of all is that each screenshot featured different options for the same editor. Now, that's what I call an uniform interface design, when the suggested solutions are associate php files to external text editors! Then, why should I install the Java Virtual Machine and Eclipse, if I finally have to use dreamweaver for editing php files?

Bah!

20050226 Modplug Wild

Good news to all modplug fans!
I have just discovered (via metallurky) that Modplug is still in development - but somehow in a hidden state!! The modplug currently maintainers are not releasing files in the sourceforge project page public files area, but if you go to CVS view you can get the latest builds!! That's really interesting, specially if you want to help them with bugtracking and so on. Come in, take a look!

Note/Freak/geek/tech advice: if you have never used CVS, you have to click over download of a revision. For example, revision 1.13.2.3
Let's say that a revision is like a version or subversion of a file. So the CVS server maintains different versions of the same file. That's where its name comes from: Concurrent Version System.
