Just when OS X Mavericks is already just around the corner, I upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion. It turned out that Xcode 4.6.3 doesn’t support development for the iOS 7 beta 4 on my iPhone (not completely unexpected). So I downloaded Xcode 5 Developer Preview. And it turned out that it requires Mountain Lion (unexpected). So off I went upgrading. Well, upgrading is easier than easy (don’t you just love the Mac?), prettier than Lion, snappier, and I even regained a few GBs of disk space. Not bad for $20.
Month: August 2013
I was finally able to use a decent Internet connection (PLDT DSL) and was able to download my long-desired XCode 4.6.3. It was only available on the Mac App Store but my regular Internet connection wouldn’t let me download anything significantly big.
After the upgrade, I ended up with two versions installed. It turned out that the old version (3.x.x) was still there in the /Developer folder. But I’m not planning on using it anymore. Apple themselves have recommend deleting it since Xcode 4.3. The safest way is detailed by OSXDaily but the quick way is outlined below
Open terminal
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all
rm -rf /Developer
That’s it.
Note: I did as outlined above and I encountered no problem. However, I take no responsibility for any problems you encounter :P
After so many delays, the Laguindingan International Airport finally opened last June 15, 2013. And today I was finally able to see it. It was quite impressive. Definitely better than the old Lumbia Airport (which is a pretty low bar admittedly).
As I previously mentioned, the airport strategically situated between CDO and Iligan. It is just about an hour away from either cities. Soon we can expect a wider highway between the two cities and maybe even a high-speed railway system. This increases the potential for an influx of more tourists, investments, business opportunities, and general benefit to the region’s economy.
For example, the airport is far from densely populated urban areas (as it should be) but I can already see there will be a level of development in the surrounding areas as a direct result of the airport opening. That in itself is already an big economic benefit to the local economy.
