Yesterday Apple previewed Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) and also released Safari 1.0 and iChat AV. iChat AV is the thing I've gotten most used to at the moment due to the niftiness of having access to an audio and video stream - the quality is somewhat amazing as well ...

I've written my Calculator app, and given it an icon...and I'm pretty chuffed with the result. Next step, if you pardon the pun, is to get a little more familar with the system. I mean - it's not as if we need another calculator application in the world is it?

I've started Cocoa programming and I'm preety happy with the results. Less than 24 hours and already I have a calculator application written that adds two numbers and can restrict the answer to two decimal places.
Yes. It sounds crap but this is an application that you double-click, it responds to ...

So..
I've started to learn to program. Frankly I'm making much more headway with C and Objective C than I ever did with Java.
Here's hoping that I'll get my first application out by the end of the summer.

I want to be able to get up in the morning and go to work on foot.
I want to not worry about pay or revenue targets.
I like fixing things and I like being thanked for fixing things...
Ah well, the week goes on

Essentially due to poor business acumen and an unwillingness to prosecure one of the directors who embezzled tens of thousands from the company, Macinni is going out of business.
If it was up to me I'd have prosecuted. But it wasn't and now we all have to pay with our jobs. ...

Over a month since I last wrote. I guess I'm not as stressed as I think I am.
Meggan is now walking and almost running. She's also trying hard to speak. We have "No" and "Mine" well established in her vocabulary. She can also say "Ba Doh" (Bad Dog) and "pwee" ...

Cabinet reshuffle means different priorities.
One sales, one administration, one technical. What does it mean?
Who's the BMOC? Who's got the cojones?
And I bloody refuse to work tonight. I'm on strike. I'm sick to the teeth of writing this training course so I'm having a night off.

I'm sick to my stomach. I can't believe that we went to war.
"Obviously common people don't want war: not in Russia, not in England, not in Germany. This is understandable. But, after all, it's the rulers of the country who resolve on politics, and it is always easy to sway ...

I haven't gamed in over 18 months. Something that used to be so much of my life is now alien to me. I used to live for gaming. These days I hide behind the computer in my spare time. The computer, after all, pays the bills.
It's all Meggan's fault really. ...
