About boredzo

I'm a programmer who used to work on Growl and Adium, then was the QA engineer for the Foundation framework in macOS. I still maintain a bunch of personal projects.

    ElDragonRojo had technical difficulties replying here, so he posted his reply on his blog instead. With his permission, here's what he wanted to tell you here: --- Sorry if I came …

    I've updated the page to version 0.3, with a fixed and improved “Best” example and some improvements to the text, based mostly on the feedback from comments here. To all who've com…

    An inconvenient convenience. An excellent point, and just the sort of feedback I'd been waiting for; thank you. I'll publish the revised “Best” example shortly with fputs in place,…

    Not at all. I always welcome constructive criticism; any opportunity to improve myself, I much appreciate. For my part, any criticism I offer, including the linked article itself, …

    Ah-ha! Looking at the front page of their (apparently new) wiki, I found a link to the old wiki: http://oldwiki.joyent.com/ And that wiki has up-to-date information on migrating fr…
