DBGraffle4 : Automatically draw SQL schema in...
Paul Davis wrote a script to extract the schema from a postgresql server and draw it in OmniGraffle. This is so handy you wouldn’t believe. Then his domain expired. It’s still available from The Wayback Machine however, but since that’s not indexed by google (as far as I know), I thought I’d replicate the relevant parts on my blog, to keep them alive. Mirrors of: the Python...

Use @rpath instead of @loader_path or...
Update: mikeash has written an excellent post on install names, including @rpath. Just read his post.
I’ve written a great deal (1, 2) about how to make bundled .frameworks work. My “old” method has been to use @loader_path/../Frameworks/[frameworkName].framework/Versions/A/[frameworkName] in the .framework’s install name, and rewrite the .app’s load paths with...
Overly Judgemental IE6 Splash Pages
jxpx777 < hugsformonsters:
While working on this site, I made jokes to Mike Yuan about having really confrontational splash pages for anybody that visited the site using IE6. I swear, I’m not this much of a dick to my users, but as a former PC user/Xbox owner, I have enough pent up MS-Hate to fill a fucking water tower. Just remember it’s completely a joke, I don’t care what browser you use...

– Matt Langer on the responsibility of every web developer and hacker to further the web rather than to cater to technophobic backwards administrators and computer illiterates (in other words, dropping IE support).

“I’d love to start a company / become a great programmer / write an awesome blog, but there’s just not enough time in the day!” Bullshit. There’s always enough time, you’re just not spending it…
I know, okay? x_x I’ve been fighting procrastination half my life. It’s one thing that this means I miss homework or even deadlines at work; it’s much more painful that...

Butthole Surfers — Pepper (Electriclarryland, 1996)
This was the first MP3 I ever downloaded (the second was Bullet With Butterfly Wings, followed by Blister In The Sun).
What were yours, and when?
I can’t remember which was my first one, but one that I remember distinctly from that era (with the obligatory embarrassment) is blasting Cher’s Believe in MacAmp, on...
Py vs rb: Round 8451
My brother sent me a vcard file and asked if I could extract its email adresses somehow (some 1500 of them). Started out with a regexp but it just made my head hurt, so I thought, “Hey, I could do this faster with a script” and googled for “python vcard”. Found vobject, spent half an hour trying to find samples and trying to make heads or tails of the documentation...
