So the New York Times is running an article For Some, Online Persona Undermines a Résumé (soul-sucking registration possibly required), talking about the apparently growing trend in employers consulting Google, MySpace, LiveJounral, Facebook and similar sites when reviewing graduating applicants. In summary: employers are turned off by poorly written rants on the writers’ most recent… Read more
So last night Sarah organised for a bunch of people to play Darkzone, in Box Hill. I was surprised actually at who came – Sverra, Adele & Michael, and so forth. They all travelled quite some way (well, with the exception of Sarah of course), which is a rare effort for them. Anyway, it was… Read more
For security I’ve been storing all my work stuff on an encrypted disk image. I knew the dangers of this going in – not only was I taking a substantial risk using disk images at all, but I was going with a sparse image to boot. Must be that masochistic streak. Long story short, the… Read more
Yeah yeah, I suppose I’m just going to have to get used to it now with Apple moving to x86, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. I’m talking about the wrong endianness, of course: little-endian. That’s what the problem was with the directory recursion; I was reading the cluster address as big… Read more
Yes, I think it’s broken. 😜 On the upside, “Code” definitely is a directory. 🙂 /Users/wadetregaskis/Documents/School/Fifth Year/ENP/Project/FATShell/FATDriver.c:514 (FATOpenFile) – Current offset: 96/Users/wadetregaskis/Documents/School/Fifth Year/ENP/Project/FATShell/FATDriver.c:534 (FATOpenFile) – Current condensed directory entry: AC/Users/wadetregaskis/Documents/School/Fifth Year/ENP/Project/FATShell/FATDriver.c:514 (FATOpenFile) – Current offset: 128/Users/wadetregaskis/Documents/School/Fifth Year/ENP/Project/FATShell/FATDriver.c:534 (FATOpenFile) – Current condensed directory entry: CODE /Users/wadetregaskis/Documents/School/Fifth Year/ENP/Project/FATShell/FATDriver.c:491 (FATOpenFile) – Current block logical address: 19374080/Users/wadetregaskis/Documents/School/Fifth Year/ENP/Project/FATShell/FATDriver.c:514 (FATOpenFile)… Read more
I’ve finally gotten back to working on the FAT driver for ENP, and I’ve made pretty good progress in the short time I’ve been working on it. Previously I was only reading the first block of a directory entry, because I wasn’t then moving to the next block. I also didn’t have any code to… Read more
Ordering by most plays or rating only works on a per song basis in iTunes. So, write an AppleScript to calculate some kind of per-artist (and possibly per-album) ranking. A simple implementation would be to sum the ratings of all the songs by each artist, or sum their play count. Alternatives include just an average… Read more
