Parsing (read. decoding) ASF files is illegal as only Microsoft or licensed (read none) products can do it. There are some obscure apps out there that can do it, but all that devs I know of have been 'contacted' by Microsoft to discourage further development or even acknowledgment. This has...

Hey, Tim O'Reilly and co., on the invitation to the O'Reilly OSXCON[oreillynet.com] says that "Almost all of the Perl 6 core team has switched to Mac OS X". That particular statement is of significance to me, perl is a strong code word in the UNIX and Web app development world. Does...

Hey, I am using Applescript to control various tasks, and I am specifically looking for some Applescriptable app or QT stuff that automatically detecs frame changes. As far as I know (I really haven't used it much), the iMove app does detect frame (scene) changes automatically. I openend...

No big deal, really. =) You could explore using the background downloading capabilities of the 'ncftp' included in MacOSX. Check out the manual pages or online help. dani++

It looks like it is not linking the ncurses correctly (or the ncurses is not installed). If you are not sure what to do, just use 'fink' at http://fink.sourceforge.net and forget about it, there is even 'FinkCommander', a GUI for it. dani++

Hi, shell code snippet, place on '.login' file and enjoy!!! Cool! As random engine I use 'jot', but a better engine could be used. Some calendars do not have quotes for all days, so sometimes no quote is shown, you could easily extend it to do a loop until some quote is actually shown...

Check out that the files and/or directories the ftpd is looking for actually exist and are writable by the actual ftpd process. On the other hand, the dump tells you it crashes on something like 'listdir'... You could also check out the source of the ftpd to see if it has a hardcoded limit on...

Yeah, 'axel' is a great app. A must, a real bandwith hogger =) The suggestion you offer is nice, you could mail the fink maintainers, or better, chat to them on the #fink channel on IRC (the server addr is on the fink page, I think). dani++

This maybe is a bug but maybe is a security feature. First thing I would do is check the logs of the server, you might find useful information there. dani++

Uh, no easy feat at all. One though problem you would have to face would be that the Linux server would not easily support the HFS+ metadata (icons, type/creator, etc.). On the other hand, you could easily use the linux server as a general (FTP-like) file server, with proper permissions...

Take a look at: /usr/share/init/tcsh/README as well. dani++

Yeah, go to Oracle.com and do a search for 'jaguar' or so. It is a free (but long) download, and I think it is 'only' the database daemon and libs as well as connection stuff (OCI...). I have waited for this for sooooo long... Dani++

Looks very promising, congratulations on the effort so far. Please keep us posted on its progress. Just out of curiosity, where have you got your artwork? Looks pretty cool. dani++

There's a guy at Apple (Ken Bereskin) that has the database of all the improvements. Will be posting regularly: http://radio.weblogs.com/0100676/ dani++ (that name is familiar to me...)

Also, check out 'vim', which is an improved clone of 'vi'. You can easily install it with Fink. The color syntax-coloring is rather cool. dani

I have been using WebCrossing (not listed) for over two years to manage a big community (100.000 registered users and 30.000 active users). That program give very good interoperability tools (we need to interface Oracle and several other enterprise systems) as well as good customization tools...

- tcsh for interactive handling - and 'bash' for programming (that solves all the gripes about tcsh, because all it's problems are related to shell scripting) dani++

I use a different directory because I like to keep my root disk partitions fairly small and install the big stuff on other disks. This way my root dir is not cluttered. However, I only install from source then. dani++

Does it enable my OSX-ready Media Cleaner to output Real media stuff? dani++
