anyone recommend a good gps and/or mapping/travel software for
osx?

What I’ve been up to recently:

shows seen:
– Scotty Irving doing a live soundtrack to The Lost World at Bickett Gallery
– Jonas Hellborg and crew at Temple Ball

Code I’ve written:
– a start at a meta package manager for osx
(this would be a lot easier if they only had say,
one, or two common packaging systems).

– Various boring `firstboot` stuff.

useful osx apps found:
– uControl (simple keyboard remap utility, but it
at least lets me create a right-ctrl key that my
brain is hardwired to use)
– sidetrack
(replacement trackpad driver that lets you map “tap on touchpad” to
ctrl-click, amongst other things)
– OSXvnc vnc server
(very handy when used in combo with X2Vnc on my linux desktop)

(hmm, i need to hack in a –last mode into the meta package manager so
I can see what I installed recently)

I’m getting used to OSX. Theres still a lot of ui issues that annoy
me, but I’m slowly finding workarounds. I’ve not had much luck finding
a devel enviroment I like. So far I’m stuck using vim+terms. The main
thing I’m looking for is good python support, syntax highlighting, and
some concept of having mutltiple files open in the same window. I don’t
really understand how people can stand having a top level window open
up for every source file your editing, especially given the relatively
poor window management of osx. I’d love to get a gui xemacs that
works for osx.

Things I did over labor day weekend.

Slept.

Went to Prog Day.

Bought some books, even read some of them. I
finally got around to reading Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. I
had never read it before. Feel free to take away my geek card.
Also bought
The Pentagons New Map based on seeing the author give a talk/presentation
on CSPAN. The talk was one of more interesting analysis’s of the current
military/government/etc issues surrounding terrorism, the middle east, iraq,
etc that I have heard. Authors weblog
here.

Managed to almost knock a computer off of a table or desk by tripping on
a cable attached to it three times.

So, I’ve got some apps on the osx machine that came with manuals in
electronic form (pdf’s in this case). One is 450 pages, the other
is 650 pages. Not being a huge fan of reading massive pdf’s, I’d
like to print them.

And to go one better, it would be cool to get them bound in
some fashion as well. Kinko’s seems to be able to do this,
but the online version doesn’t support documents that size.
And there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of prices for
this kind of thing on the website.

Anyone got experience doing this kind of thing suggest
a prefered approach?
