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,...
And now, how to determine the mouse location as a CGPoint
There's a saying in regards to Mac OS X programming, and it's proven useful time and time again. "If it's getting too difficult, stop and back up. You're probably going about it all wrong." And, well, this is another one...
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...

My desktop machine is an upgraded, yet still old Blue and White G3 mac. For the longest time, I used the tried and true ADB Mouse II, with simple curves and a single button covering the entire top. Currently, however,...
Moving targets
One of the mixed blessings about developing software for the mac is that there's high user interface standards. And, more or less, a push for consistency. This is good in one way. Any good framework will already handle drawing of...
MacOS 10.5: The Return of Buster
In a long time ago (Has it really been a decade?) in a chip-set far, far away, there lived an operating system. It lacked some advanced things, like memory protection, and preemptive multitasking. But what it lacked in architecture, it...
How to secure your code while breaking into a Ford, conclusion
I must admit, I started writing "You are not their customer" after beginning "How to secure your code." And I haven't exactly made this into securing code. So what do all these bits on breaking into cars mean? On the...
Reinventing Hungarian
I've been putting off posting some of these thoughts for a long while (longer than this site has been up, really), wanting to make it sound just right. But better is the enemy of good, and the lack of traffic...
