(Untitled)
We're sitting around watching a video on youtube of "strikeouts", which is where you take a bong hit and hold it in, chug a beer, take a shot, and then exhale. Tony says, "I bet bird flu will put an end to this."
Everyone else says, "Bird flu? What the fuck?"
Tony says, "Who would want to share a bong with bird flu running around?" -
making spotlight tolerable
The Mac OS X Spotlight menu (the blue circle in the upper right corner of the screen) is incredibly annoying. You decide to use Spotlight to find something, so you click the menu or press Command-Space, you type your search string, and then you remember how annoyingly slow Spotlight is. And you can't decide to do anything else on the computer ( Read more... ) -
Mortgage Calculator
I've been thinking about how to compare mortgages, because I'm buying a house. There are several decisions to make. I've written a mortgage calculator that takes them all into account. It's in Javascript, and I've tested it in Safari and Firefox. I seriously doubt it works in Internet Explorer. Anyway, here are the decisions ( Read more... ) -
John Raese is a spammer
If you live in West Virginia, please don't vote for John Raese. He's a spammer. I don't even live in West Virginia and he's sending me his junk email. -
fedora core 4 upgrade problems

Using "linux nofb" at the boot prompt fixed ( Read more... ) -
How to get a $1550 discount on a flat-panel TV
Step 1. Own a TV stand that takes about 7.75 square feet of floor space.
Step 2. Buy a house for $200 per square foot.
Step 3. Buy a flat-panel TV and mount it on the wall.

Tracing message sends in Objective-C
So now I'm trying to get bindings working when I put my NSCell subclass in a table column. It appears, for the standard NSCell subclasses, that NSTableColumn looks at the subclass's exposed bindings and re-exposes them on itself. However, it's not doing that for my NSCell subclass's bindings ( Read more... ) -
Dragging an NSCell subclass from an Interface Builder palette
If you've got your own NSCell subclass that you want to put on an Interface Builder palette, you'll probably think that you need to call -[IBPalette associateObject:ofType:withView:] using IBCellPboardType as the type. This doesn't work. It turns out you need to use IBTableColumnPboardType. I don't know what IBCellPboardType is for ( Read more... )
