It is very simple; just follow the instructions of this article:
But there is a gotcha: if you don't connect your MacBook to the power outlet, you will never be able to use the external display.

Sparkle support in Monobjc
By letiemble on Sunday, December 21 2008, 10:48 - DotNet
Monobjc 2.0.313.0 was released on December 2008, the 17th. One major addition in Monobjc is the support of Sparkle update engine. Sparkle is one of the most used framework in the Cocoa world, as it makes updating an application a breeze. The main problem with Sparkle in Monobjc was the private framework embedding. With Sparkle, updating a Monobjc application has never been so simple. Check out the tutorial for Monobjc and Sparkle.

I am a long term fan of VMWare Fusion, and I have followed with interest the various beta of VMWare Fusion. Today, I have installed the 2.0 final release, and I immediatly see that something has changed. Things seems to go faster, snappier and slicker. So, if you own a Mac and wants to go into the desktop virtualization world, try out VMWare Fusion.

Future of Monobjc
By letiemble on Sunday, September 14 2008, 08:55 - Monobjc
Monobjc is more than one year old, and the time has come to go beyond the Monobjc bridge. In order to develop the .NET programming on Mac OS X, a bridge is not enough. A whole development ecosystem is needed, so any new developer will have all the necessary tools to leverage the power of .NET on Mac OS X. I have identified several tools needed when developing applications:
- IDE: An IDE is great as it speeds up the edition on multiple document and centralized the application development (code writing, compilation and packaging). Unfortunatly, an IDE is a very complex machinery. Identified solutions: fork SharpDevelop or MonoDevelop.
- Reflector: A tool like Red Gate Reflector is useful when dealing with assemblies. The though part is to write the IL reverse-engineering engine. Identified solution: a Reflector clone based on Mono Cecil.
- Obfuscator: When distributing applications, obfuscation is an additional mesaure to protect your investment. Identified solution: an obfuscation tool based on Mono Cecil.
The ecosystem can also be completed by libraries either based on Mac OS X framework (Sparkle, Growl, ...) or existing .NET libraries. Stay tuned as now, the goals for Monobjc are clear.

Raytracing with Mono on Mac OS X
By letiemble on Monday, August 11 2008, 18:51 - DotNet
A while ago, Luke Hoban implemented a ray-tracing sample application. I have made a Cocoa port of this application by using the Monobjc bridge, and it was over in less than one hour. Here is a screenshot:
You can download the source code as part of Monobjc.

Since Mac OS X 10.5.2, there is a Time Machine Icon in the Menu Bar. Have you ever noticed that when a backup is in progress, the icon's clock goes backward ?
