Well, my iBook died, again. Video keeps cutting out. I spent a large chunk of money on a new MacBook.
So far my impression is that my iBook was really impressive. It's not that the macbook isn't fast, it is. It's just that the only thing i've noticed a speed difference in so far is installing xcode. about 5-10 minutes instead of 30-45. other than that, that little ibook was a champ.
also got the free ipod touch with my macbook. that thing is ridiculous. calling it an ipod is disingenuous. it's more like full fledged pda that is really good at playing music.
btw, the last.fm and myspace apps for the ipod blow, if you read this in the next couple months, don't use them, they are unstable as hell. hopefully that will get fixed soon.
i'm getting rid of my desktop so development of ycurses is on hold until i a) get gdc working in leopard or b) get linux installed on my macbook. hopefully that will happen sometime before the end of the month.

leopard
just a quick note about leopard. srsly, buggy much?
i went to checkout my curses project from googlecode....bus error.
that plus the dodgy linker that comes with the development tools.
it's lucky that leopard is so much shinier than tiger....

Busy busy.
Well, it's been a while since I last blogged, and a lot has happened. Here is the rundown:
I am registered for school, and somehow managed to get financial aid, despite my abysmal performance last year. YAY. Just taking two credits, trying to get my school work ethic back, so i'm going to slowly build up to the asskicking classes that i really need, by slowly building up with the last few generals i need.
I've nearly completed milestone 2 with my ycurses thingie. just need to finish up the form library then it's done. i'll be releasing an alpha beta rc cycle with this milestone, as there are a lot of templates involved and potential for lots of bugs, so we'll wait until a) i line by line verify it. b) lots of time has passed and no bugs show up. Also, i've been rethinking the roadmap a little, thinking about adding a d-centric layer, and maybe support for curses.
fixed my laptop....again....typing from it now actually. it turns out that when i tried to fix the power adapter last time i accidentally cut a tiny hole in the insulated wire that was shorting out on the wire sheath, which is why it worked with bare wires, but as soon as i tried to put it together it stopped working. my battery is still shot though i think, i'm trying to recondition it now, if that doesn't work, i'll have to reset the pmu and calibrating again, if that still doesn't work, then i'll be thinking seriously about getting a macbook with my financial aid instead of sinking $100 into an ancient ibook running through the grace of several miles of electrical tape, and coins attached to logic boards.
that's the gist of it, my birthday is next friday, if you know me and read this, come. bars, followed by jungle juice, yummy
