Over 200 downloads of RegexTester

I must admit, I am a little surprised that my teeny tiny little software RegexTester was downloaded over 200 times in just five days (according to macupdate.com). I am very pleased and I’d like to get some reviews and opinions. :)

New Little Helper: RegexTester

A few week ago I wrote about how the regular expression mechanism in NSPredicate can be used to validate strings.
I created a small application which exactly does that - validating strings.

It’s called RegexTester (yeah, innovative name, I know) and is intended to be a help for developers who have to formulate regular expressions.
More information can be found here.

Have fun!

Mounting remote computers using MacFUSE and sshfs

With the Linux kernel version 2.6.14 a technology called FUSE was merged into the mainstream Linux kernel. FUSE stands for Filesystem in Userspace and it allows normal, non-privileged users to create their own filesystems.

Amit Singh (author of the book Mac OS X Internals) ported this great technology to the Mac: MacFUSE.

Practice makes perfect

How can you be perfect (or at least good) at something if you don’t practice? I think, not at all. Especially when it comes to software development beeing perfect without practice is hardly possible.
So, have some practice! To get some help with that, you should visit Chris Forsythe’s website.

Regular Expressions for NSString

Last weekend I was looking for different options to validate NSString objects against some regular expressions.
While there are some 3rd party classes for doing regular expressions in Cocoa and wrappers for Perl/PCRE there is a way to do that without external software. The magic word is called NSPredicate.
This approach may perhaps not be obvious because there is (at this time) no direct documentation or hint in the ADC documentation.

Testing new earphones

In the meantime my new super.fi 5 Pro earphones arrived. Yeeha. :) Although I ordered them during the holiday time (December 28th) the delivery was very fast (January 2nd). After playing around with them for almost two weeks now I want to let you know what I’m thinking about them.
