I recently purchased a Taz 6 3D printer from
Lulzbot, great printer BTW, and one of the things I wanted was a
notification when a print job completed. There is no way to connect the Taz 6 directly to a network, but a quick
search led me to Octoprint, and more specifically OctoPi.
Octoprint gives full remote control and monitoring of your 3D printer with a ‘snappy web
interface’. I had a spare Raspberry Pi, so opted for the OctoPi SD card image. Installation was a breeze, just follow
the instructions to install OctoPi to an SD card and configure the
WiFi. Insert the SD card into the Pi, connect the Taz 6 via USB to the Pi and boot. Once the Pi has booted you can
access OctoPrint at http://octopi.local (or the IP address if your computer doesn’t support Bonjour).
For sometime now, I’ve been using the script in the post The Best of All Possible Xcode Automated Build Numbering Techniques to automatically update the build number in Xcode based on the number of git commits.
Unfortunately this script doesn’t update the version number in the dSYM bundle, which causes Hockey to complain when uploading a new build.
A quick search found the answer in a comment on this post A sensible way to increment bundle version (CFBundleVersion) in Xcode

This morning I spent some time getting mono running on an Amazon AWS EC2 instance. The instance is running a standard Amaxon Linux AMI, and the mono packages aren’t available in the default repos. After a bit of searching I found a post on the Amazon Web Services Forum that pointed me in the right direction, and is pretty simple once you know how.
