I found a bug in PictureWindow 1.5. It basically rendered the drop down absolutely useless. I’ve fixed the bug and everything seems to be working as it should. Download the latest version here.

We’re happy to announce the release of PictureWindow1.5. There’s so much upgradey goodness that I jumped the version number a whole 0.4. Here’s the changelog:
- Added a preference panel that allows selecting the default image directory

- Added image information (name, size and format).
- Added keyboard [...]

I’m proud to announce the release of PictureWindow1.1. Besides some general code clean-up, this new release adds the ability to select a folder other than ~/Pictures/, which increases its usefulness about 1000 times. Download and enjoy.

Been a while since I’ve updated. My apologies. But I have excellent news. I’ve written my first full-fledged Cocoa application. PictureWindow is a very basic image viewing program for OS X. In its current state of development it will only browse your Pictures folder. I’m working on changing that [...]

I know I said I was taking a break from tech stuff and I know that many more people have discussed this topic much more eloquently than I. But someone on IRC posted this link; to an online Ruby tutor. I clicked, mainly out of curiousity, and went through the entire thing. [...]

The other day in IRC, I was having fun with typing things backwards. I decided to write a Python script to automate my silliness. I came up with this one-liner:
print ”.join([x for x in reversed(raw_input("String here: "))])
Josh came up with this one-liner:
print “stringtoreverse”[::-1]
The main problem with my script is that it uses “reversed()”, [...]

I wish I were talented enough to work at Google and sit around having conversations like this one, which Guido recounted on python-dev:
Over lunch with Alex Martelli, he proposed that a subclass of dict with this behavior (but implemented in C) would be a good addition to the language. It looks like it wouldn’t be [...]

I decided, just for the hell of it, to learn vim. I had always considered myself an Emacs man, because even while I didn’t really use it, it was the first *nix text editor I ever used. So I guess I felt some kind of loyalty to it. It probably didn’t help [...]

In an effort to find something to focus my efforts on, I decided to revisit the Python Challenge. I was able to make it through three of the challenges yesterday, bringing me up to Level 12. In solving those 3 levels, I was reminded of why I gave up in the first place. [...]
