Software Fixes for OS X Mavericks

Just as the title says, OS X Mavericks managed to break my recent Mac software hacks – MacSuspendProcesses and SpotCmd. Here goes the update for the former working with OS X Mavericks (one caveat: it doesn’t work on the Energy tab in Activity Monitor, use CPU/Memory/Disk or Network tabs please). […]

PPRacer 0.3.1 for Mac

This story is really short, it wasn’t there readily available and since it’s such a great game I thought I would create this nice easy to use package. Thanks MacPorts for providing the dependencies. Note: If you change resolution you have to restart the game because for whatever reason fonts […]

SpotCmd – launching Terminal commands from Mac OS X Spotlight

If you craved for launching Terminal commands from your Spotlight search window, today is your lucky day. I also had that wish and dedicated my whole Sunday to master the arcanes of mach_inject, taskgated, self-signed certificates, Hopper disassembler, class-dump, security add-trusted-cert, macinstallerapp, etc. etc. in order to deliver you this […]

Numerical string sorting in Clojure

Time for a bit of functional programming nostalgia. As Wikipedia mentions – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collation#Issues_with_numbers and hundreds of posts from interested people all over the Internet confirm – it is sometimes useful to have strings sorted using their numerical components. The simple algorithm below handles this task as it seems most reasonable […]

Unity3D 4 Indie (Free) Portal Effect With No Stencil And No Render To Texture

This effect has been achieved using a smart setup of 4 cameras and custom shaders writing to depth buffer only. Neither stencil buffer not render textures have been used as they are unavailable in the free version of Unity3D. This technique allows also for perfect rendering of mirrors and water […]

Extending Mac Activity Monitor with Process Suspend/Resume

I recently bought myself a MacBook Air. It’s my first Apple product ever, although I’ve been messing with their software before using PearPC and Hackintosh kinds of setups. Anyway, MBA as you know has an absolutely outstanding battery lifetime. Even without taking care about what and how you’re running you […]

Alzfighter – Fancy 3D Slide Transitions In Unity

Imagine a themed scene with presentation slides distributed all over it. Transitions from one slide to the next happen as fly-through animations. If this kind of effect appeals to your sense of good taste, I have something for you. Originally I used this little presentation tool codenamed Alzfighter at our […]

NiftiViewer

Just by looking at my blog entries, one can easily tell that Web development isn’t my main activity, however I do it from time to time, when I see a need (or a business niche) 😉 This time I would like to present you a purely client-side HTML5-based Nifti file […]

Dicomymizer – user-friendly DICOM anonymizer / hierarchy builder

Another fruit of my unholy union with Laboratoire de Recherche en Neuroimagerie. A forgotten one actually, as it is a piece of software I wrote about a year ago. The classical problem of creating hierarchy of DICOM files (e.g. PatientName/StudyDate/ProtocolName/SeriesNumber – my favorite 😉 ) and possibly anonymizing them on […]

easymount

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you right away why I wrote easymount… or maybe you would if Gentoo was your preferred Linux distribution. Anyway, if you are tech-savvy enough you probably know that device management in Linux has gone a long road since devfs and hotplug. Through udev […]
