Looking Forward to 2007

 

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted anything and I figured that I would take the time to catch up a bit.
First off, the site has been online for one year now. We haven’t been with this domain for a year yet, that’s in February if I’m not mistaken, but I’ve been working [...]

Leopard Build 9a321

 

AppleInsider has some more details about the latest build of Leopard and I thought I would bring forth a bit more information to those.
The feature that has been in the news the most in the last few days is the addition of ZFS support in Leopard. For those that really don’t care about filesystems [...]

Cocoa Bindings Quickie

 

Just to sweat it out, I’ve been working on adding a cool HUD-style Inspector to an app I’m working on. The thing is I’ve been doing it all by hand. As in creating the whole freaking window, text, everything on the window, from code. Not an easy process and it gives me [...]

Digg Comments

 

I get a lot of my news from digg, sadly enough. One of the things that I find so funny sometimes is the comments after each article. These comments get heated very quickly and the argument I love most is the guys who complain about Apple stories. Let me elaborate.

The interface is very clean and well laid out. [...]

Windows Fiji

 

I mention this on here just because I find it humorous. So, Vista hasn’t hit the store shelves yet. Believe me, you would know because there will be tons of hype all over the net as well as a slew of bug fixes for the first few months. It’s like looking into [...]

Implementing a Spotlight Style Search Menu in Your Application

 

I thought I would share a bit of code with anyone out there who wonders exactly how basic searching is achieved in your favorite applications.
Conceptually, the user will enter a search string in the search box, something like “Jo”. Now, you will need to find every object in your table that has “jo” in [...]

Leopard iChat Answering Machine

 

In the latest seed of Leopard there is a new feature for recording video greeting to be played when someone tries to contact you and you are away. Then that person can leave you a message. I’m not sure how useful this could be, but sounds like it would be cool. A [...]

Look at Firefox 3, Rendering Updates with Cairo Graphics Framework

 

I have used Firefox as my main browser since the original 0.2 or 0.3 release, back when I was still using Windows and then my move to Linux. I thought it was the greatest browser of all time, simply put. However, after I moved over to the Mac, things changed. Mac software [...]
