Nat!'s Web Journal

Anyway for unfathomable reasons Rez didn't want to compile my resource file anymore. It entered a death loop of lseek and read and never returned.

And then there it just hangs This has happened before exactly the same way and in a similiar way to others , but there was no good solution for my problem in those mail threads.

The way I "fixed" it , was to run the command with sudo. Yeah that's voodoo, but it worked.

Today is the 14.6.2007. If you enter "today" or "heute" into a NSTextField that is formatted with @"%d.%h.%Y you get a NSCalendarDate object with the time of noon today. If you enter 14.6.2007 you get a date for midnight.

These two aren't equal.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>


int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) 
{
   NSAutoreleasePool *pool;
   NSDateFormatter   *formatter;
   NSString          *today;
   NSCalendarDate    *date1;
   NSCalendarDate    *date2;
   
   pool = [NSAutoreleasePool new];
   
   formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] initWithDateFormat:@"%d.%m.%Y"
                                          allowNaturalLanguage:YES] autorelease];
   
   today = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSCalendarDate date]];
   date1 = [formatter dateFromString:today];
   date2 = [formatter dateFromString:@"today"];
   
   NSLog( @"A1: %@ (%d:%d)", date1, [date1 hourOfDay], [date1 minuteOfHour]);
   NSLog( @"A2: %@ (%d:%d)", date2, [date2 hourOfDay], [date2 minuteOfHour]);
   
   [pool release];
   return 0;
}

The solution for me was to write a subclass of NSDateFormatter that posed as it and hacks the dates to 12:00, if the formatter is indeed @"%d.%m.%Y".

I read on a mailing list, that poseAs: isn't supported anymore in Objective-C 2.0. The tendency to make language more noob friendly, but less powerful is not something I like to see.

#!/bin/sh

echo "VfL Bochum 1848" | while read x 
do
    echo "$x" 
    rc=$?
done

if [ $rc -ne 0 ]
then
   echo "echo reported an error"
