Making C++ and Objective C play nice

Ah, sibling rivalry. C++ is one year older than Objective C, and while they have the same parent, C, they're quite different. But, sometimes, you want to harness code written in C++ from your nice and comfy Cocoa-based app. Sure,...

Domain and Range

I originally had a big, far-reaching article in which I'd muse about copyright, trademark, and other things I don't really have any authority or knowledge about. But the point was about the coding posts I did before and, time willing,...

Well, that didn't work.

I had it all planned out. Make a site with professional-style articles, something to be insightful and that people would want to read. It'd get linked to, and then world peace would break out. But it wasn't fun to write....

Of NSImages and IconRefs

Like a fan-made tribute, I'm trying to copy the look and feel of the finder while improving a few spots. As I mentioned before, I want the darkened icons for drag destinations has. On the Cocoa side, iconForFile: and iconForFileType:...

Turning the NSTables

NSTableView and its related classes are probably a few of the most abused in the Cocoa API. We make it put icons and text together, feed it strange new NSCells, change its look, subclass it beyond recognition, and call it...

A quickie bit of code

Normally, I'd package this more than just a slug of code, but this is too cool to delay and delay, editing and whatnot. In the Finder, when you're dragging files from one window to another, after a while, the dragged-to...

Fame! Fortune! Spam!

Well, Google's finally found this site. I do have a few more articles in the pipeline, and I should go back and fix the grammar errors in the previous ones. Not to mention actual coding to do on my project....

Okay, so I like to hear myself talk

While I work out a few articles, and make a site worth visiting, it's awefully bare. No comments, no trackbacks, not a kipper. I wouldn't even mind some spam comments right about now. Maybe a phisher or two. Viagra links....

I was once a webmaster

On my resume, it's listed. However, the most recent major contract was primarily just Perl. And even that's been long before all the ajax and web2.0 and whizbang shiny plastic buttons. And yes, this is a lot of posts, when...

Technical difficulties

I messed up a template setting. But by the time anyone actually reads this, this'll be solved. And while I figure this out, I might as well post again. Twice in an day! Hotcha!...

Testing, one, two.

Woohoo. Welcome to the first post of the blog, "Code and Cars". Perhaps I'll find a better name for it, but for now, it works. Yes, I know I'm over 7 years late on the craze. Truth be told, I...
