Skatr updates

fernyb — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 04:46:23 +0000

Lately I’ve been working on updating www.skatr.us which is a site built with Rails and the new code will be ridding Rails 3, and I’ve been porting it over to use HAML as it’s way better than writing erb. I’m also now using the new sass which I can now get rid of the css [...]

I’m now using MacVIM…

fernyb — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 07:02:08 +0000

In the past years I’ve always tried to use MacVIM but I just couldn’t keep with it because for one it didn’t look great and I had grown to like Textmate. Recently I decided to get back into learning and use MacVIM for all my development needs except for Cocoa Development where I use XCode [...]

iOS development locally

fernyb — Tue, 10 May 2011 05:26:14 +0000

When I test my iOS apps on my local network to debug issues I setup a host on my router to point my mac on the network. On my development machine I port forward all requests from port 80 to port 3000 because I’m using Rails and want to view the request log. This is [...]

Capture NSWindow screenshot

fernyb — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 04:57:45 +0000

This weekend I was playing with some neat Core Animation and was looking into how to get an NSImage of a NSWindow. My first solution was to find out if someone already figured that part out and yes of course they did according to google. But the problem was all the examples never had the [...]

Adding a new person to AddressBook, Cocoa AddressBook.framework

fernyb — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:10:14 +0000

In the current project that I’m working on I wanted to give the user the ability to add an email to their address book. The thing I wanted the user to see was AddressBook.app open and show the current person’s email in edit mode. The way I did that was like so:

Yes that’s me the first blurry one. Photo by Chuck Toporek. After attending NSConference USA 2010 in Atlanta, GA all I have to say it was awesome! Really it was. The content was great. The folks were cool and the food was ok not bad. One thing that I really did not like and I [...]

Atlas – Cappuccino (Objective-J)

fernyb — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:14:57 +0000

Atlas is like Xcode. Atlas is built with Cappuccino and Cappuccino is built using a language called Objective-J which is just a superset of JavaScript and its very cool! Just like Objective-C is a superset of C. The best thing I like about it is that it’s so much like Cocoa and Objective-C. The syntax [...]

Rails 2.3.5 on Dreamhost (Shared Hosting)

fernyb — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:35:10 +0000

Today, I started a new project. A minimalistic bug tracker that should really work under Dreamhost. The only reason I need this to work on Dreamhost is because bills begin to add up after having a few VPS accounts and I’m trying to cut my spending and since Dreamhost gives me unlimited disk space and [...]

Current Progress

fernyb — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 05:15:05 +0000

So, it’s been while since I last wrote something here.. Well it’s for a good reason, I’ve been busy with work but besides the work hours, I actually managed to create a PHP Framework which I call Cupcake. The reason for the name is being that I wanted a version of CakePHP without lots of [...]
