DISQUS

@manton "Mac" app? Why Mac? NSXMLDocument is your friend there…

@scott

OK. So the NDA isn't lifted. This doesn't change this posting at all though as far as I'm aware.

@daniel

Good point. I need to do a doc update (ha!) for TouchCode soon. I'll change the wording.

Hey Kent, sorry to hear that. But yeah, keeping away from. I do chortle with amusement at the guy whenever I hear another rix-story.

@jordy/jediknil I hope you're also taking Apple to task for "Cocoa", what does "Cocoa" have to do with anything? And why we're at it, what is this "Apple" crap? Apple doesn't say "Computer manufacturer" to me.

And what would be mobile about MobileXML? There are possibilities that this code will run on linux (as part of nu) and windows (as part of Cocotron). Does that make it more or less Mobile? And wouldn't the Mobile prefix also mean it should run in say, RIM and Android too?

TouchCode is primarily an umbrella project for code that is designed to augment CocoaTouch. That's why it is called TouchCode. Take it or leave it.

Most names suck anyway, as I'm sure you're aware Jordy or should I call you "Jediknil"?

Don't think we can take it to cocoa-dev. The API is NDA (and Scott just clamped down on iPhone discussion on list).

Well it is all NDA so we can't say much.

But I should say your experience of the SDK seems to be different to mine.

You might want to go check the SDK Documentation, which is quite explicit about this matter. Also look in
/Developer/Platforms/**/Foundation/Headers and see if you can find the required classes.

Of course everything could change before the next release. But rest assured I didn't just write the code for fun.

ken, typically yes. but nothing prevents you from doing it like this. :-)

Nico,

Highly likely the boto API has changed a little. I'll have a look and let you know.

Jon.

Enough with the awesomeness. Gus did all the real work. I just had the idea and adapted an existing class.

You should all go to flyingmeat.com and tell Gus just how wonderful Acorn is.

@TeemuAP, yeah that might be interesting. The guys at turbogears do the same for their built-in server. I think they do it just by spawning the "dns-sd" tool. That should be relatively easy I'd imagine. Of course that would be Mac OS X only (again).

Giorgos, yeah I would love it to be part of the distribution however:

1 It disables Mercurial's demandimport module. I couldn't get demandimport to work with my imports. And after a quick google I found it easier to disable the module than to fix things. Hopefully an hg expert can help me with this.

2 it uses a Mac OS specific compiled C module.

3 It monkey patches mercurial to override the password manager. I had to do this because I couldn't see how to access the password manager legitimately.

I don't think this extension is suitable to be included with mercurial. But I will look into the idea of creating a patch that will provide this functionality in a less hacky manner.

Yeah google links are out of date. Been meaning to fix them.

Yeah I was thinking appscript would make the perfect tool for accessing the inputs and generating outputs. I'm going to be on the road for a couple of weeks though so I probably wont be able to integrate appscript any time soon.

Kevin,

I lived in TX for 6 years. I loved it there and would move back in a heartbeat.

Jacob,

Yeah, looks like it. He's throwing any shred of credibility he had left out the window.

Hey Joe,

I've been fortunate enough to completely miss Rick up until now. The first I heard of him was on Ankur's "optimisation" blog post. Practically the next thing I know he's posting that "Johnathan Right" post.

Yeah I'm sure Rick is just thriving on this. I figured that's the way these kind of people work. He's obviously screaming for attention and just needs a big hug. Not much I can do about that.

But Rick has been ignored for a long time it seems (do not mention the spiteful vindictive batshit insane elephant in the room) and I'm not going be the victim of his abuse.

Thanks Chris,

Appreciate the comment. We really don't have to suffer the nutjobs.

I'll be putting up information about where to send flowers to later.

@pecos bill. Doesn't need much in the way of hardware. They're just standard HID devices. I'd be really surprised if the min. specs you're quoting are accurate.

Links fixed.

Yeah I was thinking that too as I was chasing the cat around the living room. Quite an expensive RC car though ;-)

Harvard,

Firstly, whatever floats your boat.

Secondly, it is registered, just not on the machine I was doing the screencast on.

Glad you liked it.

@amoeba, there's already a MIDI example: see

Hey,

Yeah, was in the process of moving around when my server had a mild meltdown. Will fix shortly

Nico, if that works then very nice.

But you've just killed my blog post! ;-)
