Well well ,my first blog ,and about time too, my nerd progress has been slow thanks to the limited Internet in lovely South Africa. As the title should tell you (I hope it does,I'm such a noob) ,this blog is about me,a Student/Programmer.The blog will be mainly aimed at programming and tech subjects and events that affect me /etc/.

One thing you should know is that I am a fan of both Apple and Linux.I don't own anything made by Apple but I would really like to.

I also Have a project on source-forge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qpigz/

I look forward to posting more stuff and hopefully being more interesting than I am being now,probably because its 2:27 in the morning...

Setting up Qt Creator for assembly

By
After fiddling with inline asssembly (not very successfully) ,I recently decided to try writing proper assembly and compiling with NASM in Linux. After writing a hello world using gedit and having a terminal open for compiling,linking and running I had a thought.,there has to be a better way to do this. So I tried Qt Creator ,because I know it's easy to add custom build and run commands,and what do you know? I got it to work. Here's how,my screenshots and assembly code are in Linux but the set up should be the same regardless of the operating system,if you are not using Linux then just use the same commands you use to assemble in your operating system. First off ,create a new console application: I named mine ASM Rename the main.cpp to main.asm and delete all the text inside.then insert some assembly: Now open up the “Project” tab and edit the build settings,remove the current build and clean steps and remove the “-build-desktop” from the en

Using delegates in Objective-C

By
Why use delegation? Well when writing Objective-C programs in Xcode we are encouraged to use the MVC(Model View Controller) structure.In MVC a model cannot send messages directly to a specific controller.This can become a problem if data in your model changes independantly and you need to update this information in your view via the controller(The model must never communicate directly with the view).This is where a delegate comes in,it allows messages to be sent from the model to a controller that is not specified in the model but is rather specified by the controller,in other words the controller specifies itself. If you dont really understand what im talking about so far ,don't worry.I didn't understand delegates either until I needed one,but hopefully by the end of this tutorial you will understand not only how to use a delegate ,but the reason you would want to use one. Program breakdown For this tutorial we will write a program that has a model that will change an

Fix ssh -Y with other Macs OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion

By
You may have realised that when you try use ssh -Y on another Mac from Mountain Lion you get the following error : Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 Fixing this error only takes some simple configuration. All you have to do is add these lines to the following files on both machines: /etc/sshd_config X11Forwarding yes XauthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth XauthLocation /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth /etc/ssh_config XauthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth XauthLocation /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth That should be all you need to get rid of the authentication error. Hope this was helpful.
