Mac foo I learned today

Long time no post! Ho hum, been busy as ever.

Anyhow, for my own benefit just wanted to write down some Mac foo I learned today.

I was searching for the Mac equivalent of the Linux "eject" command. Lots of people online are spouting off about needing to reboot their macs and hold down keys to eject disks that aren't recognised, but what you really need is:

hdiutil eject /dev/disk1

Some good Clojure news, some bad Clojure news

So... first the bad news.

I've had to drop the Qt port of my little Clojure recruitment database. I was just hitting too many problems using Qt-Jambi and it was taking too long. The client needed a working database ASAP and I wasn't gonna get there. At the same time I also learned to use Apple's Core Data on Mac Os X 10.5 (which my client is running) and I managed to turn the bulk of the project around in an evening. It was one of those evenings where I couldn't sleep and in a way I am just glad to get the database out there and running - especially as "the client" is also my girlfrend :-)

The good news comes in two forms. One, getting the DB off my plate means I have more evening time to play with more interesting Clojure projects; two another Beta version of Stuart Halloway's book "Programming Clojure" came out. I intend to read some of the new chapters, particularly the one on Swing (which until now I have found clunky).

So, for fun, I did this little quiz:

Here are the results, I am sure you'll agree, shocking results. Who knew :-)

Your morality is 0% in line with that of the bible.

 

Damn you heathen! Your book learnin' has done warped your mind. You shall not be invited next time I sacrifice a goat.
