Your PowerBook is not charging your iPod when it is asleep because, as per the definition of sleep, no power is being sent to the PowerBook's USB ports. If you truly don't use you…

On windows, I just download a few libs and .h files in a package and include them in the project and I'm off. Here on my Macbook, I'm apparently in some sort of UNIX world with ./…

You should just have to put the SDL framework in /Library/Frameworks and then it should compile (if they projects are already set up to use it).

I'm not sure I want to download and install the SDL framework again, it didn't seem to work the last time. Also, advancemame isn't an xcode project (and the package link says "proj…

You need to compile SDL yourself, since (last time I checked) the downloadable version is PPC-only. You'll also need to (a) put it in ~/Library/Frameworks (or /Library/Frameworks) …

Hi i'm developing an application that needs tail -f - like functionality, and, i'd like to avoid using an NSTask + executing "tail -f" on the file i want to continuosly read I've …

grab the code for tail off the apple open source website and put it in your app?

Okay, this isn't the most technical of questions, but I've gotta ask anyway: How did you guys come up with the name "Delicious Monster"? Just curious.

The name comes from a plant that is in Wil's house, the monstera deliciosa, often called the Swiss Cheese Plant or split leaf philodendron. Here's a picture of the actual plant: …

I had never really heard of them until I started working for DM, but when I went back home to Hawaii to visit, I was excitedly describing this crazy plant to my wife's parents, who…

I just got this in my e-mail. That's cool.

Oh, for a Delicious Library interface like this: http://www.steelskies.com/coverflow/

Can't say much for Coverflow as an interface, per se. Right now you can select individual tracks, let alone get any info about an album. But for browsing through a catalogue...man …

it would be kool if you clicked on the album and the jewel case opened up, displaying the list of songs on the left side of the open case. then you could select the song and play i…

unfortunately coverflow seems to cripple my system whenever I start it up - I don't think it's particularly memory secure! I have a 1GHz TiBook with 512Mb Ram - not amazing but st…

That looks really cool, but even if you COULD do that with a thousand or more titles (memory issues aside), would you really want to?

performance shouldn't be the issue, as it handles the 1329 albums in my iTunes collection quite well. (although on a brand new iMac). but interface-wise while the metaphore makes …

Agreed. For CD art it looks pretty spectacular and a great way to choose your music. I can't see a need to access book info that way. Coverflow's great for what it is--I hope he ke…

I bought a linksys wireless WRT54G router for my MacBook. It works fine when no securtiy is enabled. The problem is that it won't work with WEP. I set up WEP, turn it on, enter the…

The way a WEP key is entered in a Linksys router is different from the way the key is entered on a Mac. In fact, Apple does almost everything different from the rest of the indust…

Thanks. Works perfect.

Ok I was not sure which section to go for but felt this more of a techniocal problem. My old Fedora Core 5 Machine had a 60gig drive which I am keeping. I want to transfer the da…
