I think what I built with ~/.job-shit is worth publishing, if only as more ‘production’ experience. So it, and my previously strong-worded post, should be renamed. Enter Well-Tailored™®℗ Job Applications That Fit℠. It’s a fitting name, tailored stuff for applications + there was a time when I dressed to impress; hoodies are on heavy rotation…

Recently, my daughter wanted a ringtone for her new favorite song, “Soulmate” by Mac Miller. Here is what I used after poking around with ffmpeg. -i – input file-ss – start time in seconds, can be other formats, i.e., 2:19-t – length in seconds, ringtones have to be <= 30 seconds-vn | -codec:v none |…

Every parent knows Lifetouch sets its prices at tolerable levels. Every year it’s the same form, exact pricing. We give in. My daughter’s school switched to a company that attempted to charge $110 for one digital image. Thanks for the sample images, they worked great in my AI app. Disclaimer: I bought the photos but…

I’ve dealt with a conundrum for the past 72 hours. My TouchID key had seemed to stopped working on my ’17 MacBook Pro. That meant a few difficult things: The only way of doing anything was waiting for the battery to die enough to fresh-boot and try something, whatever it was. Otherwise the login screen…

It looks like this has plagued users for a while. The root issue is MacOS’s heavily modified version of OpenSSL, LibreSSL, isn’t…

This is documentation of a fix found in late November 2008. Our team was plagued by a GPS COTS product that would intermittently not clean up the GPS COM port when closing. An unrecoverable error would occur if our code tried to open the COTS product a second time after it failed to close the…

My most recent project has involved a few common 0MQ patterns like request-reply, forwarding, and topic subscription. I was using each of these enough to move them out to a shared library that could be improved as I encountered bugs and new, albiet small, improvements needed. First was reliably getting a socket. For some reason,…

The Reactive Extensions library is amazing. It has turned what was sure to be a mess of crap code into a few lines that are easy to understand and very easy to test. I had a requirement that was very easy to state but hard to implement on my latest project. The idea was that…
