Ugh, the template's messed up there too. Fix tomorrow. Sleep now. 10:53:54 PM | reply [] Nat posted a question on the Boston BBS about why the fonts in FirstClass Client for OS X look so weird, and I decided to investigate. Since it was kind of long, I moved it to a Story page: Mac OS X 10.1.2 Font Rendering. 10:51:25 PM | reply [] Fixed a CSS referencing bug where the archived pages wouldn't get a style sheet. They still looked OK, just not the same as the main page. 4:52:14 PM | reply [] Finished (239 lines of code). That was a lot more complicated than I imagined. Hints: AEGizmos has been part of Carbon since Carbon 1.1, but that's not documented anywhere (thanks Meeroh). The functions are defined in AEHelpers.h. Set the AEDebug* environment variables for enlightenment on what events you are sending, without needing to use AEGizmos. Oh, I forgot to mention what I wrote this for. LaunchBar. I had a feature I wanted so bad that I wrote it myself. Well, most of it at that rate. It's nice working with a company where you can correspond with the programmer, even if the program isn't open source. Now back to research... 3:43:57 PM | reply [] Writing some code to get the Finder selection, which I imagine has been done many many times before. Samples from several places, but the only place I've found a complete one is here. The source to the C++ wrappers used in that example are downloadable, after some searching. Other useful places include Tech Note TN 2022. 11:57:46 AM | reply [] Freefall 00601 February 1, 2002 - Today's Freefall made my laugh out loud. I love Mark Stanley's sense of humor. 9:39:39 AM | reply [] Hm. It appears Frontier's XML verbs do support namespaces. So why were they barfing on a Multi-Status example from the WebDAV RFC? 2:47:12 AM | reply []
