BSJSONAdditions Update

Published March 24th, 2009 in Nerdering. Closed

I still regularly get feature requests and bug fixes for BSJSONAdditions, but have had very little time to actually work on them. I made the Subversion repository housing the code public, but that still doesn’t solve the problem of letting other people easily track different versions of the code or submit changes.
So today, I moved [...]

Relationships.

Brent Simmons makes some excellent points in his latest post – and he got me thinking. I like his recommendations about Notifications and KVO, and when to use them. What he says about Notifications is right on:
It’s difficult, when doing research, to know what’s going to happen when I encounter a notification-send… Another thing I [...]

Sniper 0.5.7

Published December 16th, 2006 in Nerdering, Sniper and Sniper Updates. 10 Comments

This is a very minor update that only fixes the hang-on-launch that people were seeing in the previous version. Sniper was hanging because it was finding a tag in the contacts list which it didn’t expect. That should be fixed now – so if Sniper wouldn’t launch for you, try this latest build.

I can’t personally [...]

MUPhotoView 1.2

Published October 15th, 2006 in Nerdering. 7 Comments

At long last, I’ve updated MUPhotoView to version 1.2. This version incorporates several changes from a coworker – Cameron Esfehani – to update the selection behavior to be more like iPhoto.

But that’s not all! I made several other additions and fixes:

Fixed a bug where the view would either stop drawing permanently, or would not draw [...]

Virtual Keys

Published September 26th, 2006 in Just Sayin' and Nerdering. 1 Comment

Earlier this week, Wolf posted about Virtual Key Codes. His main points are that (a) virtual key codes are a level of detail that you should almost never care about, and that (b) they can be handy if you need to use some lower level key handling.
But one thing I really want to reiterate is [...]

Sniper Mockup

Of screens that never were. This is a quick mockup I did for a possible Sniper window style about six months ago. Instead of using the current black-and-red three-pane view, I tried going with a two-pane view plus a small info [...]

I haven’t finished the main features I planned for 0.6, but there are enough bug fixes to warrant publishing an interim release.

Uses the newest MUPhotoView for the thumbnail area – which provides speed improvements and bug fixes in several areas.

Bug Fixes:

The “Quit” button on [...]

MUPhotoView 1.1

Published April 29th, 2006 in Nerdering. 13 Comments

I listened to your feedback, and made the most requested improvements in this version – without changing much of what you, as a developer, will need to implement in order to use MUPhotoView. Here’s a list of what’s new:

Photo Removal Support: Whether you implement MUPhotoView via bindings or via delegate, the new photo removal methods [...]

You may already know that Flickr provides RSS and Atom feeds for every user’s photo stream. (There a link at the bottom of each user’s main photo page – here’s my page and a link to my RSS feed.) But what you may not know is that Flickr supports output in quite a few formats [...]
