Get them here. The standard disclaimers apply. They work for me and they validate in Font Book, but I don’t know squat about fonts and YMMV.

Here’s a screenshot from JEdit:

#pragma mark FooBar-related functions
#pragma mark -

A pragma is a directive to the compiler that’s not part of the program itself. According to wikipedia, the term pragma is an abbreviation of pragmatic. There are pragmas for various things like branch prediction hints and such, but I never knew what to make of the “mark” pragma. I figured maybe it placed a comment in the assembly output to help you debug or something. Well thankfully Colin Wheeler posted a blog entry on just this subject. It turns out that pragma mark isn’t for the compiler at all — it’s for XCode!

XCode makes a pop-up list of functions and methods in your code to make it easier to find things, but sometimes that list can get very long. If you put #pragma mark - in your code, XCode will insert a horizontal separator in the list. If you write some text instead of the hyphen then that text will be inserted in the list. I’ll refer you once more to Colin’s post if you want to see what this looks like.

It’s a nice tip — thanks Colin!

Ok, so I finally got off my lazy bum and set up n8gray.org. I've only owned the domain for, what, 4 years now? The point is that you can now get all your n8gray-related headlines, photos, and paraphenelia at n8gray.org. I apologize for any confusion, dismay, or gnashing of teeth that this may cause my devoted readership (that's you, Tracy), but we all must kneel before the steamroller of progress.

When you do get over to the new site you'll find things have changed a bit. It's now much easier to find my blog and photo albums, and I'm using new photo album software that supports RSS feeds, comments, and other nifty features. I've also done a bit of redesigning to try to improve readability. Fear not—it's still butt-ugly, but at least the navigation buttons are now Pure CSS^®.

Oh, and by the way, n8gray.org still probably looks like ass in Internet Explorer, perhaps even moreso after the redesign. I don't have the time or desire to adapt my page to support IE, Netscape 2.x, NCSA Mosaic, or any other obsolete browser that has't been updated in years. Use Firefox as your browser if you must use Windows. Having said that, n8gray.org is actually quite readable in text-based browsers like Links. I guess some obsolete technologies are just better than others. ;^)]]> http://www.n8gray.org/blog/2005/07/13/n8blog-has-moved/feed/ 1 http://www.n8gray.org/blog/2005/05/03/joining-the-herd/ http://www.n8gray.org/blog/2005/05/03/joining-the-herd/#comments Tue, 03 May 2005 16:35:00 +0000 n8 http://www.n8gray.org/sandbox/wordpress/?p=65 I can't resist joining the herd.
