NTFS Driver for Mac OS | Seagate
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/06
Consolidation of HDD manufacturers (image from WikiMedia)
Earlier this year I wrote about Accessing Mac Hard Drives from Windows 7/8: Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 and mentioned that there are also a few solutions for writing NTFS volumes from Mac OS X.
Thanks to dhardy03, I learned that Seagate now provides NTFS drivers for Mac OS X for Free. The installer name indicates it is an OEM version of the Paragon NTFS drivers for Mac OS X.
I’m not sure yet if it works only on Seagate drives, but since the only other HDD manufacturers left are Toshiba and Western Digital (Toshiba is a much smaller HDD manufacturer than WD and SD), it is a substantial part of the market.
I might try NTFS-3G as well, but that hasn’t been updated for a while and has been replaced by the commercial Tuxera product.

Cool stuff: Creating a Mac emulator using JavaScript with James Friend on the Hanselminutes Technology Podcast: Fresh Air for Developers
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/05
Just listened to the PodCast Creating a Mac emulator using JavaScript with James Friend on the Hanselminutes Technology Podcast: Fresh Air for Developers.
James Friend is the author of PCE.js – Classic Mac OS in the Browser, the (and also a very friendly guy).
PCE.js is a port of PCE built using Emscripten and asm.js (Emscripten requires pure portable idiomatic C, which – back then – was a really portable language). The port is explained in more detail by Mike Bull from mayflymedia. The PodCast also goes into more detail: The PCE code is very clean and easy to understand; in memory patching for floppy emulation and mouse pointer position; moving Mac video memory to the emulator canvas in the SDL window. And James explains the “why” as well: Why port emulators to the browser?.
The SDL in Emscripten is reimplemented to map video to the html5 canvas, and outputs audio to html5 audio.
The source code for PCE.js is in his jsdf GitHub realm as the PCE repository.
PCE.js runs Mac OS 7. I also found out that recently James released a VM for Running a Hypercard stack on a modern Mac based on SheepShaver: it runs Mac OS 9 with Hypercard, and allows to transfer files from/to your physical Mac.

COMPACT.EXE to compress files, folders and volumes that use NTFS (via: The Old New Thing – Site Home – MSDN Blogs)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/13
Thanks Raymond Chen for suggesting about [WayBack] COMPACT.EXE to set NTFS compression flags for files, directories or volumes:
The command-line tool for this is COMPACT.EXE. Type compact /? for usage information.
Example to recursively compress D:\backup:
compact /C /S /A D:\backup\*.*

openOV; vrij van a naar b
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/31
Interessant voor software developers: publieke APIs voor OV informatie
Het team van openOV werkt aan het publiek beschikbaar stellen van openbaar vervoer informatie, vrij toegankelijk voor iedereen.
Ik vraag me af of ze iets met Actuele spoorkaart Nederland te maken hebben:
Kaart en geodata: © OpenStreetMap
Actuele treintijden: NS-Reisinformatie
Visualisatie: M. van der Loos

Need to check out “Smartvideo for Youtube”.
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/26
In the comments of https://plus.google.com/114082637963876028667/posts/6rbYsMCDQtX
I recommend “Smartvideo for Youtube”. It’s a free app for your browser which forces Youtube to load the whole video as soon as you click on it. No more waiting. :)

RegEx trees and forrest: matching a time.
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/17
I was astonished at the number of different ways RegEx can match time.
- regex – Regular expression for matching HH:MM time format – Stack Overflow.
- java – How to extract time from a string using regex? – Stack Overflow.
- c# – Regular expression to validate valid time – Stack Overflow.
- regex – Matching a time string with a regular expression – Stack Overflow.
- c# – Regex match zero or one time a string – Stack Overflow.
- regular expression for time – Stack Overflow.
- expression – Regex pattern for HH:MM:SS time string – Stack Overflow.
Examples like this is why I try to avoid RegEx, as it is totally unclear to me which of the solutions really works and more importantly: why not.
