Say hello to YABI 1.0.2 and YABI Viewer.
Here some changes:
- [FIX] Nicknames were not properly imported by from Sync Server and it was impossible to substitute in event title
- [FIX] Target calendar change is now saved
- [FIX] Event title changes are properly saved
- [FIX] Alarm icon column is no more bound to “data” binding (“value” is now used: no more warning in your console about this deprecated construct)
- [NEW] Agent deactivation removes application data file
- [NEW] Deactivate button is now disabled when a fresh-sync is issued
- [NEW] Added the new specifier “%yp” (equal to %y minus 1)
Here what must still be implemented:
I’d like to thank all of you for your bug report and support.

If you had ever used iSync, probably you’ve been asked to resolve a sync conflict at least one time: the panel shown to the user contains two boxes , mutually excluded i.e. you can only choose one of them.
DZSelectableBox is a subclass of NSBox view which emulates this behavior. An instance of this class comes with one more variable member, the box state: when the box is marked as selected, an inner rounded path is drawn inside its bounds; DZSelectableBox honors title position, if it’s visible. You can use this class in two different manners: standalone or as part of a radio group.

As university assignment, I wrote a small virtual memory simulator which implements pagination; the algorithm chosen to replace a target page is the enhanced second chance, also known as “clock algorithm”: this solution comes out as natural evolution of FIFO algorithm, working out the problem of removing those pages which are frequently accessed.

WordPress offers a cool feature to split a single post into different web pages, by using <!–nextpage–> keyword.
The problem arises when you use a theme different from the default one: that’s why many theme writers forget to add the right code to the theme; Continue reading →

Many of you reported that YABI was expired, so I took the decision to unlock this version, even if it’s still an alpha version.
Some months ago I found another way to sync our events with iCal, which doesn’t need manual operation; I quickly wrote a new version, tested and it seems to be stable and functional, but it misses graphical interface like the previous alpha 9.
This version appears as a preference pane and installs a sync-agent which is automatically alerted by the operative system about changes to your address book.
