Willdwobby.com is reopening! After one and a half years, were back and look forward to posting interesting articles. Expect articles to be coming soon!
All of the old articles are back online however all images that may have existed are gone. Expect the site’s theme to change soon as well.
It’s not an illusion. It’s not photoshopped. Its physics. Try it yourself.
I need to respiff the site. I never post here anymore and need to get back into the groove again. I have used Michael Whalen’s template, Elixir, with a few modifications.
I have a few projects in mind to post about, but am to lazy to be motivated to start.
Stay tuned,
Wildwobby
I’ve been very busy lately and have been neglecting my blog like none other. Part of the reason has been because I can’t think of anything to write about lately. The hackintosh is still works great for anyone who is wondering. My endeavors in programming have expanded. I plan to start a few new websites in the near future. One of them that I had in mind is technology based, but from a stupid-comedy standpoint. I’m defiantly going to start brain storming a little more so I can keep this blog interesting. I’m thinking about doing a few more Cocoa tutorials as well as some advanced stuff. As for that PlayerLite crap I posted earlier, don’t download it. It is a piece of crap and I admit it. I just wanted to try out NSSound and also wanted something simple that could just play my few music files without having to keep a library. It worked for me though. The interface was complete crap though. The experience was good though. It was my first app that wasn’t from a tutorial at all. It functioned almost exactly how I wanted to make it. But now, even I use iTunes now because I got an iPod Touch.
Check back soon for some posts!
Thanks,

For some reason I got sick of iTunes, and decided to make a simplified music player that can list all my songs, and play them too.
So, I opened XCode and got to work.
Here is the result.
It’s simple, but functional. I programmed it to find all the audio files in the User’s Music folder, and list them. All you have to do is click one, and click the play button. You can even move the slider to repeat a portion of the song.
Important things to note, audio file in the Music folder only will work. If it is in something like /Music/iTunes/music, it won’t work. In later versions, if this app gets any attention at all, I plan to:
I have integrated Sparkle, so the app will tell you when I have released an update, and it will automatically install it.

In order to create a website, there are several options and things you need to do. I have compiled an image of how I make websites, and how everyone should.
By default, OS X does not have the ability to fully interact with NTFS formatted hard disk or partition. NTFS is a disk format used very widely with windows ever since Windows NT, hence NT File System. There are many reasons you would want to transfer files to/from OS X and Windows. Sure, parallels or VMWare can do it, but those cost money, and not to mention are meant to run the operating system itself, not just be able to interact with the NTFS.
All you need to do to be able to access your NTFS partition, is install the 3rd party drivers. First off, download NTFS-3G. Install it, then restart. Done. When you boot up again, the windows partition will mount in OS X, and you can transfer files between the two as if it were native. There are other software that do the same thing, such as Paragon NTFS, but that costs $40.00! If you need to access files on your windows, bootcamp partition, NTFS-3G is the way to go.
