Serial Number Systems
I’ve recently been trying to write a serial number system for SQLEditor. I’m also looking for a new name for it. It was pointed out that the current name is generic and difficulty to pronounce, plus there is already at … Continue reading

NSLog
I just realised that NSLog allows parameters. I’d previously been using NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",randomVar]) … But now I realise that the I don’t really need to do this. A simple call to NSLog will work as well. NSLog(@”%d”,randomVar); It still isn’t … Continue reading

Mac OS X 10.3 problems
Yet again the fact that I’m developing on Mac OS X 10.2.8 is causing problems. Bruce tried out a copy of SQLEditor (Cocoa) on 10.3 (Panther) and it doesn’t seem to work at all. You can’t seem to add objects … Continue reading

File Format between versions
One of the things I’ve been doing recently is to rewrite SQLEditor to use cocoa instead of java’s swing toolkit. This gives a much better application for people using Macintoshes, but it has meant a file format change. The old … Continue reading
