After a day of banging through the fundamentals of the C language, I decided to take a “break” and found a tutorial on building your own web browser in Cocoa with the help of Apple’s WebKit. Sure, it’s super-basic, and doesn’t do much more than forward/back/reload/print, but for about 15 minutes in Interface Builder and a couple lines of code, I’m pretty damn impressed. Of course, I have no clue how I did it, but it was a fun diversion nontheless.
Fuck, YEAH!!!
You remember how, a while back I was looking for really old Mac games, like Stunt Copter and Shufflepuck? Well, HERE. THEY. ARE.
Whooooooooo! Hello, babies! I missed you!
The new game from Pinhead Games has been released!
Brain Hotel, written and designed by by AAl, and programmed by our good friend Mark, this is a great little game that provides a few hours of old-school LucasArts-style adventure game fun. Mac, PC or web-based (it’s Flash)— Go play it right now!
Ohmanohmanohman, I reallyreallyreally hope this doesn’t suck.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time, bought several books, flipped through them, and thought to myself, by golly — one day, I’ll learn to program this Mac, but — of course — I never followed through. I thought I wanted to program graphics plugins or other funny little apps, like an […]
I added a “Music Habits” link to the navigation links in the bar to your right. This link goes to my page on Audioscrobbler. Audioscrobbler, for those who don’t know, is a wicked keen site that has plugins you can download for your music player of choice (Mac, PC, Linux, whatever) and it tracks what you listen to, giving you a list of what your favorite songs, favorite artists, things like that are.
Sure, your music app probably already does that (I know iTunes does, if you use Smart Playlists), but the keen thing is, it’s a community, and once you’ve listened to at least 100 songs with the plugin enabled, it starts matching you up with other people in the community who share your musical tastes. Not that you have to talk to them or anything if you don’t want to, but it starts giving you suggestions based on their likes as well, which is a really great way to find new music that you just might love.
On top of all that, they offer a customized streaming internet radio service called Last.FM, which you can base on just your collection, or on the collections of your musical neighbors as well. Highly recommended.
