Emmanuel Décarie: Short Notes on Frontier, OSX and Long File Name. “The idea is to use the capacity of Frontier to host AppleScript scripts in its database. AppleScript doesn’t have any problem to read/write files with long names.”

perl.com: CPAN PLUS. “Its objective is simple: do what CPAN.pm does, but do it better. We’d start with a clean code base designed to accommodate different types of use.”
11:47:45 PM
O’Reilly: Learning the Mac OS X Terminal, Part 4. “Things really become interesting, however, when you take advantage of a little known feature of term files, the ability to define a command line to run when the window opens. Doing this allows you to create your own double-clickable run files that open in Terminal within a window of your exact specifications and run any command line (or script file) you can come up with.”

Developer Shed: Error Handling in PHP. “No developer, no matter how good he or she may be, writes error-free code all the time. Which is why most programming languages—including PHP—come with built-in capabilities to catch errors and take remedial action. This action could be something as simple as displaying an error message, or as complex as heating your computer’s innards until they burst into flame.”
