  • C10CK on Apple TV

    The new Apple TV and it’s App Store has launched and my binary clock is there on day 0. C10CK is now a universal purchase on iOS and tvOS platforms; this makes it available on iPhone, iPad and now Apple TV. It looks pretty nice as a wall clock on a big TV. I think […]

  • moar Fusion!

    Fusion Tables is neat. Google describes it as ‘an experimental data visualization web application to gather, visualize, and share larger data tables’. Last year I tried out their API which was mostly based on sending SQL statements to create and manipulate tables. Recently, I looked at Fusion Tables again as part of an imminent upgrade […]

  • Sorry ’bout that

    Caught the base64_decode php attack…stupid world writable dir permissions. Should be better now. Reference: Dan Hill’s cleanup post

  • Weekend project: ShairPort menulet

    Update: New version built around a native Cocoa port of ShairPort, MacShairport: ShairPort-v0.2.1.zip) Recently an open source emulator for AirPort Express / AirTunes was released by James Laird.

  • Compiling tesseract v3 for iPhone

    Update 2: Before using the script, ensure that you can build tesseract for your host system normally. Also, I only tested the script with the v3 release of tesseract, not svn HEAD. If you get build errors, please try with rev 498. Update: The script has been updated, thanks mostly to the prompting of fopen2003 […]

  • Mobile Logger server down

    The mobile logger server seems to be having some trouble at the moment. I’m investigating the issue and will update this space when there’s news. In the meantime, I’d advice anyone having trouble logging to disable the Upload feature in the settings. Thanks for patience! UPDATE: It looks like the server is back online. 12:09 […]

  • it’s good to be away…

    just returned from a much needed week in Aruba. the only tech i allowed myself to get involved with was a Google Voice / Gizmo5 integration for free calls back home using local wifi (which worked out really). now to get back to work…the semester is looming. (but it may be hard to focus after […]

  • git outta here…

    I’m switching my Source Control Management  software to git. Performance has been great, I’m learning to branch and merge with wild abandon and philosophically it’s right on (what with the distributed model and all). Creating a new remote repository on my private server was *almost* too easy. The one snafu was getting sshd to include […]

  • coda

    i recently switched to Coda for web development. now, i don’t do much web dev any longer…mostly for myself (as evidenced my this latest overhaul of robertcarlsen.net – which amounts to theme hacking, really). i never had a problem with tabbing through several programs to get the job done, but i like Panic’s style. the […]
