For the few that still happen by unmaintained blog, it will come as no surprise when I say that I have let this blog languish for too long. It’s been a little bit of me being busy, and a lot of me not making it a priority. I am getting an itch to begin writing [...]
Since I have all but forsaken my blog, perhaps I can get a quick win. I constantly find myself unable to close browser tabs, even with instapaper/pinboard So here is a list of the things I can’t seem to close (courtesy of the tablinks safari extension): [0-0]: http://quatermain.tumblr.com/post/1686415314/an-nsnotification-blocks-gotcha “An NSNotification + Blocks Gotcha” [0-1]: http://quatermain.tumblr.com/post/1694258106/nsnotificationcenter-blocks-the-solution [...]

For when you want to slide a view in from the corner of the screen. 2. Enclosing View support. This is a bit convoluted, but: All animations in FTUtils [...]
