Kieronononon's new website
I’ve finally finishing up the last few IE bugs ( hopefully by the end of the week ) that’ve been keeping the new Kieronononon website from being released to the world, and I think it’s gone pretty swell.
Swanky new redesigned front page, with a beautiful grid, some nice layout, it grabs a huge amount of bits and pieces from sites that we use anyway ( twitter, last.fm, youtube,...
The most important section of a book I've read...
“Public relations?” said Finkle-McGraw.
“Sir?” Modern etiquette was streamlines; no “Your Grace” or other honorifics were necessary in such an informal setting.
“Your department, sir.”
Hackworth had given him his social card, which was appropriate under these circumstances but revealed nothing else. “Engineering. Bespoke.”
“Oh, really. I’d thought anyone who could recognise Wordsworth must be...

Opening Folders in TextMate from Finders ( no...
So you’re on 10.6, you want to be able to open a folder in Finder with TextMate, you could write a quicksilver trigger for it ( that doesn’t work for me ) you could write a SIMBL plugin ( too much work, could be unstable ) or you could find a third party app to do it ( more resources used )
Nope, we use the new Automator’s services, so load up Automator, and choose Service.

iPhone Game Programming addendum
I got asked this a few times both before my talk on iPhone game programming, and afterwards for more specifics. So, lets talk about how you’d get setup.
I forget that most people in the world, as most people in mine don’t, so lets start from there. You need a Mac. Now there’s ways to get OS X running on your PC, and to be honest its totally fine to go from starting your...

Update to 4chan Bookmarklet
I know everyone noticed, but with the new 4chan servers there was a few changes that broke my bookmarklets. If you were using them before you can use them again now, they auto update anyway.
Check out the bookmarklets ( 4 thumbs is my favourite )

Arduino
I’ve spent today messing around with this beautiful system for wiring custom hardware, it uses a C-like language so it’s pretty easy for me to write interesting apps. Currently it grabs some data from my website and outputs it back, I’m hoping to get some LED matrices plugged up to it pretty soon and make it output text.

detailed: The iTunes LP Format
An iTunes LP is a bundle containing a a TunesCore application and a playlist. The most interesting aspect as a programmer is TunesCore. TunesCore works in a similar way to Cocoa, you have outlets and actions to define links between pages (these are defined by CSS selectors) and the entire application is wrote in javascript.

Forumwarz battle bot
I’m a big fan of the online internet game based on the internet, its got an amazing storyline and fabulous presentation. It’s like a web 2.0 webgame full of javascript and all that magic, which meant that I could use all my magic javascript skills to make life easier. My problem with the game is the same problem I have with all RPG’s, and that is having to do long repetitive...
