Using Tumblr as a travel log
The Empty Set has been on the back burner for a little while now, one reason being that we travelled back to India this winter for a little under a month. Add to that the end of year rush...

I stumbled on a welcoming Mail fix this morning which restores Leopard's (Mac OS 10.5) “Copy Address” behaviour. In Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6), Mail's “Copy Address” contextual menu command copies the name and enclosed the address in angle...
How to fix a Nik Software plug-in crash in Snow Leopard
Since I installed Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6) one of my Aperture plug-ins stopped working, crashing Aperture when launched (a horrible experience). I have several of Nik Software's plug-ins installed, but only Dfine 2.0 stopped working properly. Nik Software's...

.Mac calendar synchronisation problem in Leopard
I've been having synchronisation issues with .Mac services recently related to my iCal calendars. Usually, resetting the .Mac copy with a local copy from one of my computers solved the problem. But not this time. The SyncServer was generating...

Watch that trailing slash
The trailing slash on URLs referencing directories has always bugged me because it doesn't look good. I am a bit of a URL fetishist, I like URLs to be simple and clear and without a trailing slash. But that...
Spaces matter in IE 7's conditional statements
