Could CoreGraphics Be Wrong?

August 11, 2007

I’ve always held CoreGraphics (Quartz) on Mac OS X in the highest regard. It’s an excellent drawing API. But a while back when I did the canvas implementation for Konfabulator, I noticed what I believe to be an error in their compositing modes. This, along with gdiplus lacking some necessary features, forced me to move [...]

iPhone Outlook Sync: Take II

July 28, 2007

So after my phone stopped syncing with Outlook again, I realized the trigger might have been my re-import of my old tasks. So I’ve redone what I said in my last post and just manually entered the tasks I had. So far, things are behaving. The true test will be one full week of meetings [...]

Outlook Calendar iPhone Sync Fun

July 22, 2007

Since I’ve gotten my iPhone (which btw I refer to as the first true 21st century device – yes, it’s that much better than anything I’ve used), I’ve had major problems trying to sync it with Outlook’s calendar. Everything else would sync fine, but the calendar would come over really weird, and once it even [...]

More DOM Fun

July 22, 2007

As per my last post, I’ve been working up a storm to redo our Konfabulator DOM. We did in fact end up coming up with a whole new way of exposing our objects into JavaScript. It’s so much nicer than anything we had in the past, though it does involve the use of a custom [...]

Being One with the DOM

May 14, 2007

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of work with our Konfabulator DOM. In some ways, we are completely redoing it so we can use it as the basis for everything (finally). I have also been looking at better ways to expose it via JavaScript. What I continuously learn is that [...]

Messenger for the Web

May 9, 2007

So if you haven’t seen recently, Yahoo! now has a version of Messenger that runs in a web browser. I’m actually running it in another tab as I write this. I can’t figure out if this is genius or insanity yet, but I’m leaning towards the latter. The plus side is simple: server-side history (which [...]

Carbon: The Undead

March 29, 2007

I just downloaded the Eclipse SDK to check out a plugin for it, and I noticed it was done in Carbon. That got me thinking about the state of Carbon these days. Last year at WWDC, it was made very clear that Carbon is in a holding pattern now. Maintenance mode. I can understand why [...]

More Galactica Theories

March 25, 2007

I’m mostly writing this to see how good or bad I can predict. I’ve been pondering the whole death of Starbuck and the line that’s supposed to come up in tonight’s episode about “We’re all cylons.”. Of course, the second Starbuck bought it, I thought “she must be a cylon then”. Why spend all those [...]
