ycurses beta finished

I finished the first beta of ycurses. It works with tango and phobos and gdc and dmd, and has examples and documentation, and has bindings for all the features of ncurses. hooray!

gonna take a break from it for a while now i think and bone up on cocoa.

wasted day...or not...

Well it took me all day, but i managed to get a print server up and running with archlinux, so now the three of us should have uninterrupted printing goodness as i won't be constantly messing with my computer and taking down the printer with it.

also i got gdc working with apple-gcc-5484. with ppc support. it's seriously way past time to release a package allowing leopard users easy access to a d compiler. oh well, i have instructions as to how i did it up on my website.

flock and gdc

I've been using Flock as my primary web browser for the last several days, and I'm really digging it. Actually I'm using it now to post this blog. I tried it before and didn't care for it, don't remember why, but this time around I'm liking it. I would advise anyone with any kind of facebook, blog, webmail, etc to give it a whirl. It could still use some work on facebook and myspace integration, but it's better than the nothing you get from firefox, safari, camino, etc.

Also, yesterday I successfully compiled gdc support for Apples Xcode 3.0 compiler. Didn't test it out or anything, but I've never even gotten it to compile on my iBook, and it compiled in a matter of minutes on my MacBook instead of hours like on my iBook.  Build 5484 (Xcode 3.1) failed, but I have a reasonable hope that I will be able to tweak the makefiles and get it going. Even if i can't, i'm setting up an old computer with archlinux as a print server, since i can't plug my old ass printer into my macbook, so progress on ycurses should begin soon. If i get gdc working for the Xcode 3.1 build of gcc, then i'll whip up a package sans phobos/tango, and a phobos and tango package. since gdcmac hasn't been updated in over a year and still doesn't have support for leopard, i'll put it up until the main project gets updated, so people won't have to go through the compile mess i'm having to deal with.

accomplishment

Well, i just committed the last part of my first milestone for my ycurses package, so now i need to finish giving it a web page with a roadmap and some documentation, before i get started on my next step.

I also put up a link to the other curses binding for D out there, in case it's more suitable for the three people that will need a curses binding in D.

I'm working at We Fest this weekend, so I'm gonna be in and out of town and tired, so I don't know as I'll get much done, but hopefully I'll give the curses package a reasonable web site sometime before Monday.

work on form has began

i just started my work on the binding for the form library as part of my yCurses bindings for D.

Barely started and now i have to go to work. i is sad, maybe i'll get a chance to work on it some tonight before bed, but i doubt it.
