Changes: Getting on the Beta Bandwagon

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

If you’d like to follow along at home with me as I progress towards the next version of Changes, please check out the wiki entry I published yesterday titled “Getting on the Beta Bandwagon”.

Indispensable Power Tool for OS X Developers

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

If you’re an OS X developer and you don’t know about OTX, you’re really missing out. It’s an awesome tool for peering into apps and frameworks that you might not have the source for (or for totally legit uses like making sense of user-submitted crash logs).
I heard from the developer (who shall remain nameless, [...]

Crabtacular V: The Über-Party

Monday, February 25th, 2008

The über-party, Crabtacular V, came and went. What an awesome party! I feel honored to have been invited to hang out with Bill Bumgarner and the rest of the Apple crew.

Acorn 1.1

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Today I finally convinced qgit to generate a universal binary for OS X. This is unsupported software, but it appears to work fine for me on i386 and ppc 10.5.2. It should also work just fine on 10.4. This is an awesome little utility for viewing patches, diffs, and branches inside of a git repository.
Hope [...]

Favorite (Belated) CARS Moment

Friday, February 1st, 2008

I’m pretty new to the Mac development scene, so I can’t dig down and grab a favorite CARS moment, so I’ll just say it was fun chatting with John Moltz at MWSF this year at the W bar in San Francisco. Too bad he’s packing it in before I’ll get a chance to really get [...]
