This morning when I started reading rumors of Apple announcing 10.6 at WWDC on Monday, I thought “not gonna happen”.
My reasoning was the following:
10.5 hasn’t been out long enough for a really wide user adaption.
Users won’t want to pay another $120ish for a new OS so soon.
Apple doesn’t have enough engineers to add enough new [...]
Healthy WWDC
(Via Downshift.)
Justin of Second Gear posts a great article on how to have a healthy WWDC. Wise words if you are going.
This Wednesday CocoaHeads Portland will meet at 6pm at Extensis in downtown Portland.
I’ll be giving a small presentation on NSOperation and NSOperationQueue, two really useful classes that are available in Leopard for doing background operations. They are particularly important in todays’ day and age of multi-core Macintoshes, and useful for doing background processing in [...]

Man.. this brings back a flood of really good memories of my time at Apple, and all [...]
A quick post to say a hearty thank you to John Labovitz for his great presentation and demo of the Nu language. It was really interesting, and has made great strides since I first learned about it at C4[1].
John sent me his presentation, feel free to download it and play with his examples.

If I could go back in time…
(Via Dan Wood: The Eponymous Weblog.)
Some great advice from Dan Wood on what he would change if he went back in time to when he started his mac indie company.
Tomorrow night is CocoaHeads CocoaHeads Portland - John Labovitz is going to give us a hands on introduction to the Nu program language, and how one can use Cocoa in Nu.
Feel free to arrive anytime after 5:30pm, the downstairs doors tend to get locked at 6pm. We’ll start off at 6pm with a round [...]
For those about to ship…
(Via Shirt Pocket Watch.)
It’s been a long time coming, but I’d rather have it work 100% than released 3 months ago.
Update: It shipped, and it works great.
I think my favourite CARS moments are the Friday Feature: Crazy Apple Help Desk posts - last Friday’s as an example - I just find super funny.. and probably too close to reality for help desk support people.
(Of which a friend is one).
Well done John Moltz. I’ll miss your humor and wit. [...]
The keynote has come and gone, and really for me, the best thing announced was the new iPhone features.
I’m most impressed with the location feature in Maps. We live out on the edge of Beaverton at the urban growth boundary, so my AT&T coverage here is, well, spotty at best.
When I have WiFi turned off, [...]
