Dirlister News!

Posted by John Luetke on 02/10/09 at 10:54:22 pm

Hey all, here are some long awaited Dirlister updates!

1) SVN repo has been moved from http://jserve.johnluetke.net/svn/dirlister to http://lopez.johnluetke.net/svn/dirlister. Sorry to those who checked out from the previous repo, but the machine crashed and I wasn’t able to recover the repo. :-( . As such, the version numbers for the new repo are screwed up. :-( again.

2) I’ve begun to think about more changes to the code that I want to make, and as such, the next public release will be a complete rewrite of the code, so be in store for that.

FSF, you suck (sometimes)

Posted by on 07/28/08 at 4:44:34 pm

Apparently, the Free Software Foundation is encouraging people to book appointments at the Genius Bars in Apple retail stores this weekend in an effort to get Apple to lift the restrictions on iPhone Code. Fat chance, right?

Well anyway, there are some people (myself, at least) that have real problems with their Macs and are only free to go into a Genius Bar this weekend. While I admit that it may be completely unrelated, I went to reserve a Genius Bar sport earlier today at my local Apple Store, and lo and behold, nothing was available!

I believe in the mission of the Free Software Foundation, but this is a little absurd, stupid, and isn’t going to make Apple change their mind

Compiled Code? I Think Not!

Posted by on 12/3/07 at 5:31:30 pm

So I was poking around the Final Cut Pro Application bundle trying to trick the program into thinking that it was a later version to read a project file from work. I found the following in Contents/Resources/Final Cut Pro.rsrc:

If we can’t ship this puppy by then, we might as well be herding yaks.

Edit:
Apparently, this is old news :-(

How sad is it when you have to pay royalties to sing a traditional, 4-line song?
