OS X is da shit.
So
hansandersen and I were drinking coffee, and we got an idea for an OS X program. Since then we've written and debugged it, and by tomorrow PM we should have a distro ready. It provides command-line access to the clipboard: you can copy and paste, and you can stick it in the center of a pipeline, so a copy of your data gets forked to the clipboard.
It's one of those simple little things that's remarkably handy. (On my old NeXT there was a command-line 'copy' utility; somehow it disappeared in OS X...)
The fact that we could go from conception to completion in under 2 hours of work, including feature creep, is really damned neat.
Current Mood: avoiding real work. Does it show?
