Looks like I get to be the first (at least on your blog here) to congratulate you – great job, Graham!

Comment on Text Compression Techniques by Graham Booker

Ajayksh,
I don’t have an API available for this as I may wish to use it for my own purposes in the future. The compression scheme really has nothing more involved than what I described above. I only left out the detail of how Huffman encoding works, but this is a well known technique.
I should add, the iPhone does have gzip compression, but not bzip2. Look up the compress2 function and its complement, uncompress.

Hi, I am looking for compressing my text content for an iPhone application, the content is served from a Web Server which is implemented using Java Servlets.

I am quite impressed by your method and the result compression ratio, could you please share more, is there any Java and iPhone API available somewhere? TIA.

Comment on Incorrect Podcast Order on my iPod by Graham Booker

Cory,
This is best done with Applescript. Something like this should do the job. Just select all the tracks and run this script:
tell application “iTunes”
repeat with aTrack in selection
set bookmarkable of aTrack to true
end repeat
end tell

Howdy, I stumbled upon your interesting site when looking up a simple Perian issue (fell onto the AC3 passthrough page).

I was wondering if your podcasting script is able to fix my problem for me without much leg work.

Each day I download an archived version of a radio program and add to iTunes. After adding, I have to set it to ‘remember playback position’. Any chance you have an interest in modifying your script to add the file and change said option for me?

Thanks for your time, I understand if you are not willing to do this. I do not want to be one the demanding Open Source Users you previously wrote about.

Works dandy in Leopard on my mini. Now getting 5.1 from mkvs through to my Onkyo 807. Thanks a great deal, sir.
