Tonight, I’m going to the Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In to see:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

An incredibly silly film of great humor, brilliant design and epic insanity.  Perhaps the most original comedy – or at least the most ridiculously funny historically semi-accurate comedy spoof – of all time.  At the very least, the most quotable movie ever.

PLUS thrilling and funny short films, an intermission, and great company.

Friday September 16th, 8:00pm
Railroad Tracks at Fair Ave, Santa Cruz 

BRING lawn chairs, blankets, pillows, friends, wine, & food to share for intermission. Donations are greatly appreciated and directly support the project and the Revolutionary Garden Society who sponsors Guerilla Drive-In.
 
SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is an outdoor movie theatre under the stars that springs up unexpectedly in the fields and industrial wastelands.  Beyond showing great movies and bringing a broad community together, part of our mission is helping reclaim public space and transforming our urban environment into the joyful playground it should be.
 
SUBURBAN WASTELAND LOCATION:  S on Hwy 17 to Hwy 1, Hwy 1 north to Mission St, L on Fair Ave after Feral Donuts, walk a short way along the RR tracks to the right.

Last Sunday, I did a 40+ mile tour of San Francisco with 12 other unicyclists (Rob, Nick, Beau, Nathan, Scot, Bronson, Daniel, Mark Massie, Geoff, John Foss, and of course, the birthday boy, Gary). It was a blast! Nathan Hoover has already put up some pictures here. I’m wearing a red shirt and blue helmet in most of the pics.

Dinner at the end of the day was really really good. We went to Cappino’s

does anyone know how to really setup .htaccess files for forwarding? I can’t seem to get it to work :(

I moved my blog from horrible MoveableType to WordPress

Just so you will know, this blog will be a mixture of technical stuff and personal stuff. Feel free to filter through what you find to be interesting. Any information posted here is my opinion and has nothing to do with my employer.

Seth took some really really cool pictures of me on “the machine” at burning man:

Here i’m doing a still stand on the edge:

This is right before I hopped off to the ground.

Thanks Seth! These are my favorite pictures from Burning Man (so far).

NSOutlineView requires all of the items in it to be pointer unique. If they are not, strange things happen. However, they can be equal (meaning [NSObject isEqual] may return YES).

However, there is a small exception to that rule. If you do a reload, the expansion state of items will be preserved. This expansion state is done by placing the current expanded items into an NSMutableSet. After a reload happens, if an item is in that set it is shown expanded.

What does this mean? Well, to see if an item should be expanded or not, it is looked up in the set. This is done via the item’s hashcode and an isEqual comparision. Ahh ha! NSOutlineView is doing some non-pointer unique things here. This means you could potentially switch out items during a reload, and they would still appear expanded after the reload (as long as they have the same hashcode and are isEqual). Another nasty side effect: any items which mutate their hashtable will not appear expanded after a reload! For instance, if you modify an NSDictionary, its hash code will change. Take this point into consideration: the objects you put into an NSOutlineView are NSMutableDictionaries. You do a reload, and after the reload you add a child to one of the items via a key in the NSDictionary. Therefore, the NSMutableDictionary now has a different hashcode, and it will no longer appear expanded! The easy way to work around this is to use a non-mutable object in the outlineview (such as your own object, which might have a dictionary inside of it to keep track of things). Just a neat tip, for those who care or run into this.

I went to burning man last week. It was really cool!

Here are a few pictures I borrowed from some of my fellow “Pancake Playhouse” buddies:
