Project Learn to Program on the iPhone progresses

Friday, November 27th, 2009

It’s a slow process but I am definitely learning by working on my toy application. I had hit a snag in that, while I could get my first screen to display (the one containing a list of all the vanity pets in WoW), I could not get the detailed view to open (that is, if […]

Creating a property list

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I sketched out the UI for my toy application - which, need I remind you, would present the list of vanity pets in WoW and let you indicate if you have it or not. Very handy if you’re at the auction house on your bank alt and can’t remember if you already bought that Razzashi […]

Learning to program for the iPhone

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Last week, I bought the Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK book to learn how to program for the iPhone and I’m trying to do at least one chapter per day.
I must admit, I do love the Cocoa Touch platform: being able to just drag and drop the interface items rather than having […]

HTML and CSS tutorials

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

I found another website with tutorials for HTML and CSS called HTML Dog. Awww, look at the cute boxer!
I couldn’t find why it was called HTML Dog - maybe it’s because you learn to make your HTML sit up and do tricks?

More on .bashrc

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Dave Crouse shows off his .bashrc file. Lots of stuff going on in there. Could be useful down the road when I start understanding a bit more about this.

Making Unix/Linux remember my aliases

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I was trying to figure out how to create a .login file so that I could store useful aliases. Turns out .login is the wrong place to put that in. Actually, I wonder if my Debian Linux uses .login at all, since I can’t find that file at all.
In any case, it turns out you […]

Javascript hacks

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I found this article on Javascript is for Hackers on Foobr. Looks like the kind of thing I need to explore in more depths in order to make sure I don’t make my own web endeavours open to hackers.

More about social network visualization

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Apparently, this whole visualization of large networks is a well known problem in the social sciences, but since psychology is not a social science (yeah, I never got that either), I never encountered this during my studies.
I did a quick run to Carleton University’s library and found not only de Nooy, Mrvar and Batagelj’s book […]

Hash of arrays in Perl

Monday, September 25th, 2006

I wanted to count the number of tags that each user used in our humongous data file for the social tags project, and decided that the easiest way to do this was to use a hash of arrays, that is for each user, associate a list of tags. By doing this, I could then check […]
