Useful tutorial to Condor BirdBath SOAP API

One of the most useful and comprehensive tutorials on Condor BirdBath I've found is located at http://communitygrids.blogspot.com/2006/09/submitting-globus-job-through-condor.html.

The only addition I would make is the following:

If you want to find out the port of the condor_schedd process, you can find that out via the condor_status process.

$ condor_status -schedd -constraint "HasSOAPInterface=?=TRUE" -l | grep YOURADDRESS

In my case I got this reply:

ScheddIpAddr = "<192.168.1.110:48407>

<"MyAddress = "<192.168.1.110:48407>"

PublicNetworkIpAddr = "<192.168.1.110:48407>"

so I would pass http://192.168.1.110:48407 to argument[0] of the program, and submit my condor job.

Impressive web-development features in Safari 4

Today I stumbled across some impressive web development features in Safari 4 (or are they WebKit features?).

When you right click and select "Inspect Element" the Web Inspector window opens.

SafariWebInspector1

The Web Inspector provides numerous features which facilitate web development. Some features I found useful:

  1. Live HTML and CSS Editing: In the Elements tab, you can browse the entire page source and edit elements as well as CSS styles and preview them in the browser.
  2. Web Page Profiling: Personally, I found the resources tab most useful. In a single view I found out that there are some images on my front page which take a considerable time to load.
  3. Script Debugging: In the scripts tab, you can execute scripts in the page in debug mode.

Before discovering this, I used CSSEdit's web browser. CSSEdit's X-ray mode allows me to edit HTML and CSS and preview on live pages. Anyone aware of some other great web development tools for the mac?
