iSync 3.0 plugin for Nokia 3110c

Posted June 20th @ 2:36 by Werner

I got a new shiny Nokia 3110c phone, nice and simple. But iSync has no plugin to sync the address book and the calendar on my iMac with the phone’s memory. But searching the web I found James Lloyd’s website, where plugins are provided for the Nokia Series 40 phones (3110c is one of them).

Universal binary of netcdf library for Mac OS X (10.5)

This will correctly build a universal binary of the netcdf library (C and C++). I had to use “–disable-f77″ since I only had f2c installed [...]

The hint below is actually a hack. The correct solution would be to add “-mmacosx-version-min=10.4″ to the compiler and linker command as mentioned in this post or follow the comment below this post.
If you compile a programm/library on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) against the 10.4u SDK as suggested in this technote to create a [...]

Where is the damn \ and { in Mac OS X?

Posted November 22nd @ 10:38 by Werner

I recently got a new shiny iMac at work with Mac OS X 10.5 on it. Very nice. I like it. If you are used to the Windows/Linux keyboard, you run into troubles though, since some keys are not there where they should be. In order to find out where the are use the virtual [...]
