With the current warm summer days, my desire to post updates seems to have mostly vanished. So, once again, this will be one of those all encompassing posts that put a lot of random things together and just update you mostly on what’s going on.
Research work continues and I’ve spent the week mostly focusing on the user interface and dealing with monitoring a folder in windows, creating backup files before they are modified, and generally creating code that can be reused once we understand fully the constraints we’re under. Working with Visual Studio is continuously a chore but it’s good. I’m understanding a lot more each day and in all reality, the .NET framework is very similar to Cocoa’s Core Foundation in that it attempts to help you by providing the basic functions you need. We’ve also been coming to realize that Visual Studio 2005 (currently in beta) is a much better IDE than Visual Studio 2003 .NET. Perhaps it’s simply a re-organization of dialogs, but we’re finding ourselves more productive than before.
Greg and I had our second radio show yesterday. We played mostly indie songs and generally had fun, although for some reason, I really wasn’t too into the show in the second half. Maybe it was being tired, or simply I had chosen too many down beat songs. The playlist is up online in my radio section if you’re interested and want to post your advice.
Also music related, tonight Greg, ‘Hobson’ a.k.a. Adam, and I are heading to Albany to go see Ted Leo and the Pharmacists play live. Tickets were cheap although I’m not too excited about sitting in a car for two hours each way on such a sunny day. I’ll write more about the concert at a later date, especially when I have something to say!
I got my PowerMac G5 back from the shop yesterday and it’s got the same problem. The computer still won’t turn on and I don’t understand why. It needs to go back to the repair shop but I don’t really have time tonight… so it will have to wait until tomorrow or Monday at the earliest. Maybe I’ll give Apple a ring and see what they say about it.
There are a couple of other things I’d like to write about now but I don’t have the patience or inclination. Plus, they deserve their own posts! So, check back again over the weekend and you might be rewarded by another post or too…
