MarsEdit - New Favorite Blog Tool

2012-01-21T11:34:00.001-08:00

MarsEdit works well for what I want to do with it.

http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/

My old favorite Blogo, appears to now be a dead product. It doesn't work with Mac OS X Lion, and there doesn't seem to be any activity to fix it.

I also give MarsEdit extra points for being available in the Mac App store.

Manually Deleting Mac Applications

2012-01-21T09:27:00.001-08:00

My quick list of things to look for when deleting Mac applications manually. Most mac applications seem well behaved and only populate things in /Applications and maybe a couple things in ~/Library. Other applications seems to try to put things in all sort of directories and even their own uninstaller doesn't clean up after them. Today's problem child is Mark/Space's Missing Sync. I ran the uninstaller, but it left behind a lot of stuff. So this is just my list of places to go look to uninstall the remaining pieces of applications.

First look to see if they have an uninstaller in /Applications
Re-download the package and see if the package comes with an uninstaller.
Applications, look for Applications and Folders named for what you want to uninstall.
Run AppZapper if there is no uninstaller
/Library/Application Support
/Library/Frameworks
/Library/Preferences
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/System/Library/Extensions
~/Library/Application Support
~/Library/Preferences

Manually Connecting to an SSL IMAP Server

A good quick article on how to manually log into an IMAP Server using SSL is at:

http://www.jaharmi.com/2007/09/26/using_openssl_securely_connect_your_imap_account

The important part is:

As an example, here’s how you could log into an Exchange account, select the “Inbox” folder, and log out:

$ openssl s_client -connect server:port -crlf
? LOGIN username password
? SELECT Inbox
? LOGOUT

Minimal OpenGL Program on RedHat EL 4.0

A simple description of how to use Autotools

2009-11-08T16:48:00.001-08:00

From

http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/bonzinip/all-you-should-really-know-about-autoconf-and-automake

A very good description of a simple use of autoconf and automake:

The problem with autotools is that it is used for complicated things, and people cut-and-paste complicated things even when they ought to be simple. 99% of people just need a way to access .pc files and generate juicy Makefiles, the portability part is taken care by glib, sdl and so on.

The most basic autotools setup is 9 lines.

configure.ac:

AC_INIT([package], [version])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign subdir-objects])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([configure.ac])
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h])     # not really needed
AC_PROG_CC                        # or AC_PROG_CXX
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT

Makefile.am:

bin_PROGRAMS = hello
hello_SOURCES = hello.c

And you're ready for:

$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure
$ make

On top of this, for each package you need, you add:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES([cairo], [cairo])
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([fontconfig], [fontconfig])

AM_CFLAGS = $(cairo_CFLAGS) $(fontconfig_CFLAGS)
LIBS += $(cairo_LIBS) $(fontconfig_LIBS)

respectively in configure.ac (after AC_PROG_CC) and Makefile.am. Is that complicated?

Time Machine Restore - A Pleasant Experience

2009-09-19T14:09:00.001-07:00

I recently had a disk go bad in my iMac. The disk would often boot if the computer was cold but then would start having errors as it warmed up and ... corrupting files.

I have never had to test any of my Time Machine backups for a real purpose. I was concerned that I would find that not all the files I needed would be restored or I would find I only really had partial backups. I have had many bad experiences over the years with untested backups, including backups done by sys admins. So I doubted that Apple's magic backup would be complete.

So I stuck a blank hard disk in the machine and booted the 10.5 install CD. At this point you have two options, install a fresh copy of Mac OS X and restore your files and settings, or just restore everything from Time Machine. I chose to restore everything from Time Machine, started it and went to bed.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a complete restore. I had to resync my dot mac data and a couple little things. The worst one was the ~/Library/Caches directory was not created with permissions for me to write to it. But overall, I was very happy.

Simple OpenGL Texture Example

Parsing a binary file in Perl

2009-08-19T17:37:00.001-07:00

This is an example of how to parse a binary file in perl. This reads an mpeg-2 file and chops the first 8 Mbyte chunk out of the file, closing at the next clean sequence header boundary.

#! perl
use Getopt::Std;

use strict;

sub chopMpegFile
{
    my ($fileName) = @_;

    open FILE, "$fileName" or die "Could not open file: $!\n";
    open OUT,  ">out.mpg"   or die "Could not open file: $!\n";

    binmode(FILE);
    binmode(OUT);

    my $buffer = '';
    my $count  = 0;
    my $done   = 0;

    while ((! $done) && ( sysread(FILE, $buffer, 4) ))
    {
        my $value = unpack 'N', $buffer;
        if (($count++ > 2 * 1024 * 1024) && ($value == 0x000001b3))
        {
            print "Closing file.\n";
            $done = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            syswrite(OUT, $buffer, 4);
        }
        if (($count % (1024*100)) == 0)
        {
            print "Count $count\n";
        }
    }
    close(FILE);
    close(OUT);
}

my @args = splice(@ARGV, 0);
foreach my $arg (@args)
{
    print "$arg\n";
    &chopMpegFile($arg);
}

Logging Serial Data with CKermit

2009-08-18T13:13:00.001-07:00

To log binary serial data from an RS-232 stream using CKermit, these are the settings I use:

set port /dev/ttyS0
set baud 115200
set terminal bytesize 8
set command bytesize 8
set parity none
set session-log binary
set flow-control none

Then when you are ready:

log session
connect

Dell 20" WIDESCREEN LCD for ONLY $289

2006-10-12T23:24:00.000-07:00

From the Digg article:
Great monitor for great price. Even bests the 2007WFP with a 5ms response time, compared to the latter's 16ms, but the best news comes in the form of the spankin' $289 pricetag, which compares quite favorably to the 2007WFP's $529 MSRP, or even its $400-ish Froogle price.
Wow!

The End of Broadcast Television?

2006-09-17T19:30:00.000-07:00

Between Podcasts, iTunes TV shows, and the work I do on the computer, my TV watching time has really dwindled to those points in time where I watch a little bit just before I go to bed. Today on Digg there was a story about how to get to Penn & Tellers most recent Showtime series from Google Video. I watched one episode (Alien Abduction) and really enjoyed it. I really like being able to start,stop,pause something that I am watching whenever I feel like it and picking it up whenever, maybe a month from now.

Is it the end of Broadcast Television? I don't know, but it may be the end for me.

Ah well, I have another episode of Security Now, I want to finish before I go to bed.

Dashboard

2006-09-16T21:01:00.000-07:00

I am playing with a Mac Dashboard widget that lets me post directly to this blog. When Apple first introduced the Dashboard, I didn't think I'd like it, but now I really find it useful, to quickly be able to swap to a calculator, calendar, weather, news. My whole Dashboard is filled with these little things. And yes, I have looked at how much memory these things take up and it is substantial. But I like them.

Is this thing on?
