I haven’t posted here for a while, mainly due to the time sink that is Facebook, but I have been writing code in my spare time, honest. I thought I’d have a little skim through what’s on my machine and share a few choice nuggets.
Recently I’ve been trying to get into programming applications for Mac OS X - I use it on a day to day basis so thought it would be best to get involved. I’ve put some new things on the Stuff page for your perusal. They are:
Backgrounderer
A little app to download desktop wallpapers from veer.com. If you wish to build from source, you’ll need to install RegexKit first.
Mail RSS Exporter
An application that exports your RSS feeds from Apple Mail and stores them in either OPML format or Safari Bookmarks.
TouchMe
A program to run AppleScripts on a computer on your local network from your iPhone or iPod Touch - I use this to control a Mac mini attached to a projector. The projector is not always switched on so Front Row was insufficient. It also allows you to force quit applications that have hung.
SimpleHTTPd
A Cocoa native web server packaged as a framework so you can use it in your own projects. Based on Jurgen Schwiezer’s SimpleHTTPServer.
All of the above require OS X 10.5 Leopard as coming from a Java/PHP background I have a strange fetish for garbage collectors and consequently find manual memory management tedious.
They are all BSD licensed and source is included with each program so go crazy.
I’ll get round to posting about each one in more depth in the near future.
