 Compiling Pike and/or Nettle on OS X Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version

Mac OS XWhile taking a university course on concepts of programming languages, we had to do a report on a language that we had never used before and evaluate it based on the things we had learned that year. We were supposed to answer questions like "Does the language have first-class functions?" and other such questions. I did my report on Pike. It was a fun language to learn about. It had been a few years since I took that class, and I decided to check on Pike and see what had changed in the years since I last used it. Unfortunately, there was no binary of the most current version for OS X, and I ran into some problems compiling one of the pre-requisite libraries, Nettle. Read on for how I solved this.

Politics & GovernmentAn interesting article written in response to a newspaper editorial may be found at Michael Halcrow's site. While I don't agree with everything he says, Michael does make some good points about intellectual property, the RIAA, and the DMCA.

Politics & Government

In this election year, everything has become fair game for the political arena. Increasingly, the favorite topic of both camps has become the status of the War in Iraq. Somebody has to be exaggerating. Perhaps a little logic will help us figure out what is really going on.

 Airport Express & Airport Extreme -- Not your Grandma's Access Point Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version

Mac OS X

I recently moved to a new apartment, and as part of the switch, I decided to use Apple's Airport Express and Airport Extreme line of 802.11b/g wireless access points as my network backbone. True to Apple's form, they were a snap to set up, but I was quite surprised to find out just how much of a punch they really pack. Read on for more details...

Politics & Government

There is something wrong with a city when their motive for taking someone to court is to extract revenge, rather than see justice served.

General NewsCan you believe it? Two site updates in almost as many days. I have added the ability to get weather, stocks, and quotes in the blocks on the right side of your screen. I have chosen some defaults that I like, but feel free to register and then you can customize to your hearts content. Enjoy the new and improved site. :)

General NewsThe site has been updated, and includes a new look. It's based on one of the bundled Geeklog themes, but I will be making changes to it in the weeks to come. Also, I intend to be a more regular poster. I don't know if I will post every day, but I'm going to try to at least post once a week. :) Enjoy the new look.

General NewsWelcome to my new site! I had a really lame homepage for the longest time. I realized that it really doesn't look good for a web-monkey to have a homepage that looks like a third-grader wrote it. Therefore, I decided to start a BLog. I don't know how often I will post things, but check back every so often. There just may be something interesting to read.

Take care,
Grant
