Snow Leopard / MBP 13" checklist

November 16, 2009

My old macbook at work just died and now I’m with the new MacBook Pro 13” with Snow Leopard on it.

I just used TimeMachine backup and the Migration Assistant, and it worked pretty nice (amazingly): here’re some migration list.

  • Switch perl local::lib to rebuild with perl5.10 binaries. (DONE)
  • To do that, i need to install the developer tools. (DONE)
  • SIMBL - upgraded to the Snow Leopard compatible version (DONE)
  • TerminalCopyOnSelect - seems incompatible with 10.6.2
  • 1password - Upgraded to the 1password 3 beta (DONE)
  • Macbook Pro multitouch touchpad: Hard to get used to it but should use a thumb (not forefinger) to click it, or always use tap-to-click :/
  • Rebuild Remedie and Github Growler to run on perl 5.10: Remedie is done, but GG has problems when running as .app, works with 5.8.9 from the command line though.
  • Leech - Doesn’t work. Seems like a problem with SIMBL.
  • Keywurl - Doesn’t work, but Glims can replace the functionality. (DONE)
  • GreaseKit - Doesn’t work? Not sure how to run SIMBL on Safari without making it run in 32-bit mode.
  • (continues while the migration goes on)
