MacIntel mini
MoreMy first 48 hours with the new Intel CoreDuo Mac mini have unfortunately been somewhat disappointing. Don’t get me wrong—The mini itself is great, I love Front Row, and the fact that I’ve got an optical audio out built-in instead of an Edirol box hanging off the side of the mini is amazing. (BTW, if […]

Getting Video onto Your iPod
Here, I was, all ready to do a clever video tutorial on how to use Handbrake to rip video from your DVDs to your 5G iPod (aka, iPod with video), and I see there’s a clever app called iSquint that is optimized for doing just that. Except— wait. No it isn’t. You’d have to decrypt and rip the video to your hard drive first. And then, of course, there’s getting all that meta–data into the file… Hmmm…. seems like there’s call for an all-encompassing tutorial after all.

Digging Through 15 Years of Crap
I’ve been working on implementing GTD, and part of that is working through all the random piles of crap I have spread about the house.

Of course, one of the joys of doing this is coming across cool random old things like this X.com debit card— an online banking service that was bought by Paypal shortly after I signed up. Ah, the heady days of the internet…

Gah.
MoreMade it through the Spiderworks book on C just fine. Made it halfway through the Apple book, The Objective-C Programming Language… and then… my eyes started to glaze over.
I think the real reason is, I need practical experience with this stuff—the C book had exercises I could do, and most of the chapters […]

C, ObjC, Cocoa… little steps
MoreI’ve been meaning to learn Mac programming with Cocoa for two years now, and finally am getting off my ass. Since the first of the year, I’ve gone through Spiderworks’ “Learn C on the Macintosh” eBook. Just finished that last night, now I’m starting Apple’s PDF doc “The Objective-C Programming Language,” and then after than […]
