Software
Here are some of my spare-time projects. New stuff is coming all the time, so check back from time to time...
Main Categories
There are separate pages for Mac OS X packages, Perl, AppleScript and Java stuff:
 |
Mac OS X Software |
|---|---|
 |
Mac OS X Docs and Tips |
 |
Java |
 |
Perl |
 |
AppleScript |
 |
XSL Stylesheets |
Miscellaneous
And here are various other things which didn’t fit into one of the categories above:
BBEdit Clipping Sets
Note: Make sure that you use BBEdit's “Auto-Complete Clipping” command in combination with a keyboard shortcut with clippings, otherwise you're not using them (or BBEdit) to their full potential! I recommend Ctrl-Return as a keyboard shortcut. If you set up things this way, you can, for example with the XSLT clipping set, type “val”, hit Ctrl-Return and BBEdit will insert the full template for <xsl:value-of ...> into your document.
I also suggest assigning Cmd-Option-Left and Cmd-Option-Right to the commands “Go To Previous Placeholder” and “Go To Next Placeholder”

|---|---|---|---|
| Description | A short demo program that illustrates how to read a memory-only smart card using
the PCSC Lite framework and an Athena USB smart card reader on Mac OS X. I
struggled with the dumber memory-only smart cards for a while, because they use
a slightly different command set than what I found in ISO 7816-4. Mac OS X already comes with the PCSC framework, you just need to start the pcscd daemon and install your card reader's plugin into /usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers/. |
