I just finished an initial test deployment of APOLLO, including all frameworks and a sample searching application, on a Solaris server for use by the folks in BC. The install of our stuff was really quite simple - just copy some stuff into the right directories and add a new WebObjects application. Done. There were... »
Some casino spambot pigsucker decided to spam the hell out of my weblog again tonight. Instead of entering into a battle of wits with the script kiddie moron, I've cleaned their crap from my home, and temporarily turned off accepting new comments. Casino spambot script kiddie, if you're reading this: PFO! I'll try to tighten... »
John Hicks just posted a link to Stand - an InputManager that extends Safari in new and wonderful ways. The coolest thing it does is give you a new way to quickly access bookmarks - hit F4 and a search widget pops up. Hit some keys, and your bookmarks are filtered on the fly. Very... »
Joel Rennich at AFP548 (a MacOSX Server oriented site) has published a detailed description of the process he went through when installing a new XServe at his colocation facility. He's apparently got a much more complicated setup, since there are several steps that we didn't have/want to do, and his time estimates for others are... »
I went to Market Mall tonight to kill some time with Evan - they have an excellent play area, and Jugo Juice nearby... We came in through the Toys R Us entrance to avoid construction, and as we were walking through the mall, I noticed a kiosk with a G4 iMac as a POS terminal.... »
I've just published updated Javadocs for the APOLLO frameworks (and the Pitchboard application that drives Fusion). It's a start - we'll be fleshing out the documentation as we move along (that's one of the things on my plate, so I'll be spending some quality time working on documentation over the coming months). The classes will be... »
Damn you BoingBoing! Must... Have... This... Cool technique for using your iPod as essentially an IR modem (convert sound to IR beam to control your TV/DVD/whatever). Very geeky. Looks like it requires a PocketPC as part of the process, though... The little IR doohicky costs $25US »
This is an old Builder.com article (from May 2003), but goes into the guts of how to use XML in Flash. Might come in handy for Pachyderm... On a side note, wtf is up with builder.com? They have a redundant .com in their address (builder.com.com - I assume that means they're part of CNet, famous... »
I just uploaded new source files for the JavaEOXMLSupport framework on the woxmlsupport project on Sourceforge.net. It's got support for accessing and editing XML data in documents via KeyValueCoding (although I've found a bug - it doesn't like creating elements that don't exist, so it's literally an editor at the moment). I also uploaded source for... »
I just installed a local copy of the W3C HTML Validator tool on my laptop, thanks to the instructions provided by Apple. That was one heck of a process. Time in CVS checking stuff out, time in CPAN, time compiling stuff, finking stuff. All told, it took about an hour and a half (partially... »
