My Projects:

DDMathParser - a library for parsing NSString objects as mathematical expressions and evaluating them
CHCSVParser - a library for reading and writing CSV files
DDUnitConverter - a simple library for converting between units
StackKit - a framework for using the StackExchange API.

Sep 22	comment	What's a good graphical SFTP utility for OS X? +1 for Transmit. I've used it for 7 or 8 years, and it's never disappointed me (that I can remember)
Sep 18	comment	How many apps are the Mac AppStore? @NathanGreenstein better? :)
Sep 13	comment	How to trick Mozy into thinking network share is local USB disk? @dolan The Internet is a strange beast whose tentacles spread to all corners of the world. Either that, or I told him. ;)
Sep 5	comment	What does 9:41 mean? Basically, the time shown in the screenshot is set to be the approximate time the product is announced in the keynote address: secretlab.com.au/blog/posts/ipad-day-941-am
Aug 5	comment	Is it possible to use the character map as a standalone app? absolutely. But since it is an app, you can do things like launch it via Alfred, for example.
Aug 5	comment	Is it possible to use the character map as a standalone app? +1 this is how i usually do it, but knowing that it's actually a standalone app is really helpful too
Aug 5	comment	Is it possible to use the character map as a standalone app? +1 this is really neat! :)
Jul 4	comment	How can I make my MacBook Pro screws stop screwing around? @Cawas Amazon.com has it (of course) though the shipping costs would probably be much more expensive than the actual glue.
Jun 7	comment	Personal Encyclopedia app Yojimbo looks promising! It looks, however, like there's only the single repository of info?
May 28	comment	Address bar in Safari gone! @luca590 if this answered your question, click the "checkmark" icon by my answer to mark it as correct. :)
May 28	comment	Running OS X and Windows simultaneously +1 ironically, I totally forgot about VirtualBox, even though that's the one I use.
Apr 30	comment	Tweetdeck replacement for Mac Ah, you're probably right; I haven't used it myself, but knew that it handled multiple networks.
Apr 28	comment	Cannot open Xcode on new computer @Luca590 sure! Find where it installed Xcode, then right click on it and choose "Make Alias". A new thing pops up called "Xcode alias" that you can move anywhere and name it anything you want.
Apr 25	comment	Automatically press a key every 60 seconds @Ryan exactly :)
Apr 25	comment	Automatically press a key every 60 seconds @Ryan when you change the plist, you'll have to "unload" it and "load" it again.
Apr 25	comment	Automatically press a key every 60 seconds @Ryan it's possible I might have messed up the plist slightly, but it seems to work for me on my system. You can also try doing `launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/filename.plist` in Terminal to explicitly load it.
Apr 22	comment	What could I use to read epub books on OS X? Bah, I forgot that I had to convert them using Calibre.
Apr 9	comment	Which OS X Applications do you find indispensable? @titaniumdecoy say what? it has built-in syntax highlighting for dozens of languages. Down in the bottom left of every window, there's a thing that says "(none)". click that to show a popup menu of all the built-in languages. you can add even more via plugins. i've been using it for bash and ruby scripting all week, and the syntax highlighting has been just fine.
Mar 9	comment	Which OS X Applications do you find indispensable? +1 if you don't want to fork over the cash for BBEdit, TextWrangler is a fantastic alternative, with all of the basic (yet extremely powerful) text editing tools you'll need.
