Bell ExpressVu and me

I'm a happy boy again. StarChoice... GONE! Bell ExpressVu... IN!

NHL Centre Ice package... subscribed!

Hockey, all... the... time.

ExpressVu also has more channels, and the receiver is SO much better. The StarChoice system was so slow, it took forever to scroll through the channels in the Guide. The ExpressVu receiver not only looks better (we're talking Aqua vs. C=64 here!), but it's way faster.

It cost me a little more money ($100) for the receiver, but it's well worth it.

Phase One milestone in reach!

I'm so close to finishing Phase One of the CMS project I'm working on. I'm so close to ending a marathon of 14 straight days of 10-14 hour days!

I'm so fucking fried!

(Now you know why it's been so quiet here lately)

The difference between Cocoa and Carbon apps

MacCentral: The difference between Cocoa and Carbon apps

Wow, MacCentral actually wrote a great (seemingly) original article!

Update: I spoke too soon. I should have known better. It wasn't an original article. It's basically a copy of this article on ZDNet. Sigh. MacCentral.... say no more. (figuratively and literally)

BTW, OutlineXplorer is a Cocoa app.

Quote: "Cocoa developers could literally be ten times more efficient and more productive in building software." If, in the future, Apple should decide to release OS X for x86 or other platforms, applications developed with Cocoa will work on the new platforms.

Yup.

Ford has a horrible track record with fire-related things lately, but here they go again! ;-)

Conversant Gets Turbocharged

Another nice thing about Conversant is you don't have to wait for the vendor to need an oft-requested feature themselves before they implement it.
