Opt-In for CodeSearch

This came up in the comments: How to "opt-in" for CodeSearch?

I'm guilty of using a fancy buzzword for a kludgy process. At the moment, your option for opting-in is to email me. Send me a link to your source, and please make it clear what license it is under. (If it's not obvious, a link to a public version of the license somewhere on the web is also recommended.)

Then it'll be added in the next scan (which isn't currently scheduled - I want to monitor things a little first.)

Mode about CodeSearch

I went to all the trouble of learning php just so I could kill email addresses, but it turned out to be worthwhile for other reasons. Here's a few:

Features:

• If you're viewing a source file, it attempts to provide a 'see also' link to the source file's header. And vice versa.
• It tries to provide links to header files by looking for #import statements.
• Some rudimentary syntax highlighting to make everything prettier.

This is all very funky php regexp stuff - I'd so much rather be indexing fancy Doxygen-generated docs. (Or at least Headerdoc)

CodeSearch makes it easier to find OS X code examples

Announced: CodeSearch, a search engine that indexes a subset* of Mac OS X open source projects' source code, to make finding examples easier than ever before.

* - it's opt-in, so only those projects who agree to it or volunteer their source are added.

UCSD Brings Shuttles to UTC!

UCSD has finally gotten the idea - nobody lives on campus, there's no parking, and the SDT buses are *infrequent*. (Twice an hour can make you LATE.)

Starting September 23rd, there's a UCSD shuttle through UTC - stops at Nobel & Lebon, and the UTC Mall, and drops off at the Mandeville Auditorium, every 15 minutes! It's like they made it just for me :)

Ahh, it brings back memories of the Loop back at dear old State.

As a side note, I discovered this thanks to ActiveCampus - they listed the shuttle sites as locations on their system, and it popped up as I located myself at my apartment... Just the kind of serendipity it was designed for!

I just noticed this -- in my WWDC copy of Jaguar, the dock let you drag minimized windows out of their usual place by the trash can and leave them in mini-size anywhere on the screen... They just hung out there until you double clicked on them. I thought this was great (except that they didn't remember their position - if you minimized them again, they'd go back into the dock).

But now that's gone in the Jaguar release. Will it be back? Does anyone know what happened?
