RSS Growler 1.0
RSS Growler - menu bar item RSS reader more>>
Specifically, RSS Growler is designed for developers working on projects that are using svn Trac integration to provide commit logs and diffs through RSS. RSS Growler has the following features:
Multiple feed subscriptions + http authentication support
Growl notifications with revision number and commit log (full log if you make sure you are access an rss feed from Trac that is "verbose=on", which you get from checking "Show full log messages" before switching to the rss view)
Most recent listing of commits across all projects, with ability to customize which feeds are shown in the recent list
Cached downloading of links for recent rss items -- items in the recent list can be automatically downloaded and saved to disk as a webarchive so that when you click on the link in the rss menu, it will open the page cached off the disk automatically
Submenu with parsed urls or radars, allowing you to access these directly if they were in the commit log
Option to see each feed as a different item in growl, for customization per feed
Option to open up diff directly by clicking on growl notification
ReferenceFinder 4.0.1
ReferenceFinder - will outline, step-by-step, the folding sequence to reproduce that reference point more>>
Given coordinates, ReferenceFinder will outline, step-by-step, the folding sequence to reproduce that reference point with as much mathematical accuracy as possible.
ReferenceFinder immediately returns the 5 "best" short folding sequences that approximates that point or line.
The approximations are very good, often better than 1 part in 1000, which, in my experience, is about the limit of human folding precision. ReferenceFinder can parse simple algebraic expressions (thanks to a contribution from Carlos Furuti).
The default paper shape is a unit square, but you can change the dimensions for any rectangle (e.g., a silver rectangle or currency).
For each solution, ReferenceFinder reports the absolute error in distance, the rank (the number of folds needed), and the sequence of actions needed to construct the desired reference mark.
For more details, read the README.txt file that accompanies each of the download packages.
Enhancements:
- [RJL, all] Modified RefLine::DistanceTo() to properly handle the case where a line barely crosses the corner of the square; prior implementation gave incorrectly small results. Also updated the Help docs to reflect Justins discovery of the 7 Huzita axioms.

ThreadWorker 0.7
Free and open source class to offload a task to another thread more>> Free and open source class to offload a task to another thread
ThreadWorker is a class that aims to make it easy to offload a task to another thread and notify your application when youve completed the task.
Creating Multithreaded applications with Objective-C in Mac OS Xs Cocoa framework is easier than raw C code, but there are still some difficulties that ThreadWorker will help you overcome.
Enhancements
- Added ability to mark thread as cancelled.
- Changed the behavior when "longTask" takes a second argument. Instead of passing a proxy to the primary threads "self" it passes a references to the ThreadWorker. The recommended way to pass information from the primary, or originating, thread is to use an NSDictionary to pass in the Things Youll Need. See the Controller.m example.
- Changed threads termination behavior so that as soon as your "longTask:" is finished, the thread will exit. This means if you left anything on the NSRunLoop (or more likely an NSURL did it without your knowledge), it will get dumped.
