  • Man, that sucks

    I’ve dropped from a google pagerank of 7 to 5. I need to be more interesting, it seems. So, things… Unit testing with Perl is fun. You should all take a look at petdance‘s WWW::Mechanize and Test::WWW::Mechanize. If one were to want to make a bot to grab all of one’s financial data from one’s…

  • Xcode on Panther

    The most recent version of Xcode that works on Panther (10.3) is Xcode Tools 1.5. Woe is me. I need to upgrade.

  • Good luck in the next round of the playoffs, homies.

    Here’s wishing the best to my home boys from Kitsap, Martin Luther King Junior and Snohomish counties.

  • Cocoa# is getting attention

    My inbox overflows with mail from the cocoa# list. If you’ve been wondering about the status of the project, you should check out the list. Cocoa# was my first Mono-related project. I started working on it while I was an SDET/SysAdmin for a Microsoft vendor in Seattle. Matt Westervelt and Rob Flickinger of Seattle Wireless…
