For one of the projects I’m working on I needed a nice looking tab bar control. Under previous versions of Mac OS X I used the PSMTabBarControl. The control is nicely integrated into Interface Builder 2.0, but I no longer have IB 2.0 installed as I’ve upgraded to more recent versions of XCode. I’ve done […]

Windows Live Mail
Just a quick note to let everybody know that I’m making good progress reverse engineering the Windows Live Mail protocol. With the help of a couple of other people I’ve managed to determine the nature of the compression used on the message data. We’ve successfully managed to build the decompression table and I’m now working […]
HTTPMail 1.52 released
I’ve received quite a lot of email about 10.5.3 breaking the plugin, and finally got around to looking into it today. I have uploaded a new version of the plugin that seems to work for me 😉 As always the latest version can be grabbed from my downloads page.
Weird characters in the previous post
Something really strange happened in the previous post. There were these weird characters appearing in the text. From what I can see it is WebKit trying to be helpful and create non-breaking spaces. Unfortunately rather than insert a good old it is inserting 0xA0 characters. I’ve just added some code to look for these […]
WebView woes
I have been working on a little blog posting app for my wife for some time called BlogThing. Â The first version worked well enough that I released it for download from the Automagic Software site. Â It used some pretty nasty stuff that iterated over the chunks in an NSAttributedString, and while it worked pretty well […]
Come and get it
The Leopard version of my HTTPMail plugin for Mail can be downloaded from here. Please note that as with any first release with a new version of OS X things may not be as stable as I would like. It works on my machine 😉 I have updated the documentation to show screen shots from […]
Almost there!
Yesterday I got account editing working, and tonight’s effort sees sending working. It is still not possible to create new accounts, but that is something for another time. It’s almost midnight and I’m going to be woken up at some time around 3 or 4 am by the little one for a feed so I’d […]
HTTPMail Plugin and Leopard
Tonight I’ve had some success with getting the plugin working under Leopard. It still isn’t ready for public consumption, however it is coming along nicely. Currently if a httpmail account is already configured it will connect to the Hotmail servers and successfully download the messages. Unfortunately sub-folders aren’t quite working yet, nor is creation of […]
Cocoa WebKit
I’ve been playing with the Cocoa WebKit over the last week or so and have rewritten my blogThing application to use it. So far I’m quite pleased with the way things are coming along 🙂It lets me do some very interesting things such as paste in formatted text from XCode//// DPKeychain.h// iSpeak//// Created by Daniel […]
flvThing is released
I’ve released flvThing on the www.automagic-software.com web site. It seems to play every flv file I’ve thrown at it quite nicely 🙂 The flv files are played using the installed flash player which is hosted inside a WebView control. The application creates a tiny very stupid web server that serves up the flash files as well […]
