Today I decided to work on getting wxCurl working on DevCPP.

You know you’ve been working with CoreFoundation too long when you start naming functions ReallyLongNamesThatDescribesExactlyWhatAFunctionDoes(), as opposed to names like DoThatThing().

Yesterday and today I am working on getting wxCURL working on Mac OS X in general, as well as getting multi-form posting working in a small sample (using the Wilcox Development Solutions File Upload Page as a test CGI.)

I’m off to ADHOC for the rest of the week.

Woh.

Today I struggled with the problem where I was getting a -1704 (kAENotAEDesc) error from one of my AppleEvent functions.

For one of our current projects we are using Python as an interface to a database as well as using Python to write CGI scripts containing data from our database.

Today I used the Core Foundation for the first time in, well, ever.

One of the neat things about Python is that it’s very readable - even when you’re learning a module you’ve never seen before.

Over the last week or so, I’ve had the experience of using wxWidgets with Unicode.

Last week I worked entirely on the G5, with my laptop in Firewire Target Disk Mode.

Anybody have any idea how to turn numlock on/off?

This week I’ve been working on the outstanding issues for the Daedulus project.

I hate spending time writing even two dozen lines of C++ code to provide functionality I could get in one line of Python.

Today I had the distinct, well, first experience of installing MS Windows on a PC, then customizing it for production (development) work.

So I’ve heard a lot of chatter on the net about XCode being very crashy.

We begin our story here: our hero decides that he needs to let external clients access parts of his source code management system.

Since Thursday we’ve been working hard on a new project - a GUI component that also fetches some data from a remote location.

So I got hit with 300 spam comments over the past… well, since I stopped watching.

Two days ago I began working with wxWindows, which is a tool that allows the user to code a program for one platform (i.e.

I’ve updated my install of MT-Blacklist to version 1.6.2.

Today, in a creative outburst, I created a better RSS 2.0 Template for Movable Type.

Sometimes you want a CGI script to run as a different user than what the web server process is running as.

Here at Wilcox Development Solutions I’m about ready to hire my first employee.

Having posted my first impressions of PyObjC, I decided to tackle a bigger (but still example sized) project with it.

I tried out PyObj-C last night.

I spent an afternoon with Xcode today.

I worked all week on VonTrapp stuff.

I’m a component guy.

Tuesday I focused almost entirely on the backup options.

I think I’ve got this right.

Starting back on the VonTrapp project after having pretty much left it for a few weeks.

Ohhhh man.

I’ve been working on adding an RSS feed to some Open Source Software I use.

Merging C++ is not fun.

Oh yeah, sorry for the outage today.

This is a test post using NetNewsWire to post to this blog.

The one thing I like about MovableType is that it’s all webbased.

CVS takes sooo long to import sometimes.

Yesterday I was working away on an application for a client, moving their (custom) menu code to use wxWindows.

Take a look at the following Applescript.

So I’ve been having problems with AppleScript Studio.

I had created most of this entry on Tuesday, and just got around to polish it off.

I just installed MTSpeling.

We also have a new look.

I love how every time I try to do something complicated with CVS it means I have to write another script.

Apache is a great webserver… but it doesn’t seem to report errors when you use .htaccess directives.

Today I got wierd errors from CodeWarrio.

Today I was working in Python, writing a real serious module.

I spent most of the afternoon on Friday writing a Perl script to automatically keep track of build-numbers for me.
