Centre of picture you can see one of the mighty cranes, now landmarks to a proud shipbuilding heritage (with one sadly famous blight) beside the docks of Belfast Lough and in the distance, the Antrim plateau.

This is our capital and I love how green it all is.

Tomorrow morning the Apple Store has it’s grand opening in Belfast and there’s already a herd of MacMacs heading down to queue outside. Murderdrome, the “comic that was banned” will also be there for viewing as well as some T-Shirts being given out to the people at the front of the queue and a resulting competition to win some authentic 2000AD artwork.
I’m in two minds whether to go down early. I have a Hall Pass for the morning to attend so it seems it might be a good idea to go down and have a chat with the poor sods who’ll be sitting out overnight. Five years ago I would have been one of them but for now I want to just watch from the sidelines and then have a poke around once the hubbub has died down. That said, I queued for the iPhone for 2 hours before opening the first time around and for an hour before opening the second time around. This seems different though.
Anyway – if you want to get TWO free T-shirts tomorrow, get into the queue at the Apple Store in the Victoria Centre in Belfast and be near the front.

Ian Robinson writes about Northern Ireland Cocoa Developers
Some of us from Northern Ireland, who were at WWDC, are thinking of setting up a local Cocoa developers group to met and discuss development and technologies related to the Mac OS X and iPhone/iPod touch platform. It is envisioned that there will be periodic meetings, a mailing list, a web page, possibly guest speakers, etc. All this is still to be determined. The following 5 domains have been registered for the group to use:
nicocoadev (.org, .net, .com, .co.uk)
nicod.org
Earlier this week, we took John Kennedy’s idea for XCake.org and launched a wiki. Two years ago I’d attempted to get Cocoaheads Northern Ireland started up but attendance was pretty low. I’m happy to say that there are a lot more people interested now…
[EDIT: This would be a nice topic at BarCamp?]
