Michael Robinson — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:39:29 +0000

You use Rapid Weaver. You’ve downloaded the latest greatest plugin and can’t wait to try it out. You install it …and… nothing. After contacting the developer, and they go through basic trouble shooting with you. That goes no-where.

Facelift!

Yesterday, on my day off I found my hands refused to quit typing code. Not wanting to get overloaded with work programming, I thought I’d give my own site some much-needed attention. After installing all the crap I use to “make updating my site easier” /sarcasm, I found that sometime between now and the last [...] No related posts.

Slider Update – Tab Feature Coming Together

Michael Robinson — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:49:56 +0000

As I finally reached a programming goal I had set – the tab hover javascript was working fairly well – I realised that users would want the option of positioning the tabs in the middle or corners of Slider’s four sides. Initially I had assumed it would be OK for users to have tabs positioned [...]

Slider Progress: Slider Styling Option Pane

Michael Robinson — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:51:10 +0000

During the great rewrite, I’ve been trying to focus on one section at a time. The first section to come under attack was “everything pertaining to the styling of Slider that is not Arrow-related”.

Return an NSMutableString as NSString Avoiding “Uncaught Error 11″ with Cocoa

Michael Robinson — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:22:11 +0000

Another stumbling block on the road to Slider completion was this: NSUncaughtSystemExceptionException — Uncaught system exception: signal 11 This vague and unhelpful error message (in this case) was caused by my trying to return an NSMutableString in place of an NSString: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 [...]
