I got immediately annoyed with Meetup.com’s Message Board support, so created some forums over at the Australian RPG Dungeon, a site that I run on my server for the paltry .com yearly registration fee, rather than $12 a month through Meetup.com. If you like playing Dungeons & Dragons, or other RPGs, head on over to the [...]

I’ve been looking around but I can’t find any decent free Mac OS X SOAP clients for Wordpress. Anyone aware of one? Preferably, one that doesn’t require much effort to post - something that you can click in the dock and it brings up a window, you write your post, attach images etc, and post [...]

OK, so I’ve released a new version of NodeQuota. You can get it here: NodeQuota. Fixes all the bugs I know about and gives you something usable. Please let me know if you find it useful. I won’t be adding any more features until I get the interface specification from Internode, but I’ll fix bugs if you [...]

NodeQuota is a menu status bar widget that periodically checks your Internode quota and reports how much you’ve used. It’s version 1.0, doesn’t have a great number of features, but I’ll work on adding a bunch more if people like it. Project Page This is more of a quick test of various technologies, mostly Cocoa Bindings and [...]

I work around the corner from the Apple Store in Sydney, and I noticed that at the beginning of this week, they took the cover off the side of the building. So I took my camera with me this morning and took a photo of it! You can see the class fronting, still mostly covered, and [...]

I bought two Acer AL2416W monitors about 2 years ago when we were in Japan. Great monitors, high resolution, good colour, and they’re pretty cheap - only 100,000 yen new at the time, now they’re down near the $450AU mark. But a few months ago, my wife and I were eating dinner, and there was a [...]

If you’re building gSoap on Solaris 10 (or below) you might run across this “Broken Pipe” issue with GNU bison: make[4]: Entering directory `/home/d287582/gsoap-2.7/gsoap/src’ bison -y -d -v `test -f ’soapcpp2_yacc.y’ || echo ‘./’`soapcpp2_yacc.y make[4]: *** [soapcpp2_yacc.c] Broken Pipe make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/d287582/gsoap-2.7/gsoap/src’ make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/d287582/gsoap-2.7/gsoap’ make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/d287582/gsoap-2.7/gsoap’ make[1]: *** [...]

I’ve been playing with GTKmm, writing some code to see how to do GUI apps in GTKmm and see how easy it is. Its not too bad, there are some gotchas. This is what I’ve learned so far. I’ll post it as a kind of a tutorial, maybe it will help someone else. Firstly, I’d like [...]

I was remarking to a friend the other night that the media industry needs to move to a subscription model if they want to survive. Ars has posted an interesting article about such a possibility. Go read it.
