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 […]
CruiseControlRb tray icon for Linux
We installed CruiseControlRb at work recently and we’re all really enjoying it 🙂 The web interface works really nicely, but I wanted more. Under Windows there is a really neat little tool called cctray which shows the status of your build in the system tray. I did a bit of searching about the net and […]

It’s amazing that the same hardware running Linux seems to run so much faster than when running XP. Maybe I it’s just time for the semi-anual windows […]
TextMate and Flex 2
I’ve been having a bit of a play with Adobe’s Flex 2 command line compiler. After doing a quick search around the net I found a couple of hints for using it with TextMate. Unfortunately none of them did quite what I wanted, so I built my own. Hopefully it will be useful for others […]
before_create considered harmful
I had a fsck of a time today working with rails. Normally I love Ruby on Rails, but today it gave me the screaming shifts! I had a model class to which I wanted to add some sensible default values to satisfy some constraints in the database. The logical place for that was before_create, so […]
