32/64 bit hell on osx

By default gcc on mac builds 64bit binaries. My app depends on Urbi and Player/Stage. Urbi depends on Boost, Player depends on Boost, Stage depends on Player and on FLTK. FLTK is 32 bit only!

Spent all the day trying to get all this shit to work.

Live Play mode in SoundGrid 3

New Live Play mode in SoundGrid 3 shows overview of all layers and patterns on one screen. It allows to quickly switch pattern for any layer and (new!) to select next pattern that will be automatically activated after the current one. This will make SoundGrid better suited for live performance/recording.

HP printer & Windows

I have HP F2180 printer with color cartridge only installed without black cartridge. Right now tried to print simple Word document from Windows. And what? Printer doesn’t print black text at all, only colored text is printed! Obviously it tries to print black text using black cartridge which is absent.

After that I connected the printer to Mac and of course everything printed as expected with color cartridge only. So the question is, are idiots intentionally gathered together to develop drivers and software for Windows or this happens accidentally?

все-таки программист должен писать программы. когда программисту приходится жарить себе картошку, от этого очень страдает производительность труда. даже не из-за самой жарки, а из-за того, что программист не может оторваться от работы для этого, поэтому он жует весь день печеньки, а из-за этого производительность страдает еще больше.
