iPhone SDK'ing
blog

Been a long time! Lots of fun stuff going on... let's dive right in:

I've been enjoying the iPhone SDK for a little while now. Still no apps on the App Store to show for it but that should change soon. Got one app (a game) that I'm polishing up (sounds, final graphics, a couple minor features), and I've started a couple of other apps, plus I have a ton of ideas.

Now that the Apple NDA has been lifted it's great to see a community starting up. It also makes it a lot easier to find answers to all the random questions I have while powering through the SDK. I've purchased both of the iPhone SDK books, as well, and they're pretty good reads so far.

VMWare came out with Fusion version 2.0 which is a rather nice upgrade. Adds support for multiple snapshots, as well as multiple monitors for the guest OS. I haven't tried that yet, either on my windows install or one of my many linux installs, but I'm sure I will soon enough. I'm still enjoying being on the Mac platform... it's a nice mix of command-line fun and a polished UI. I still can't tear myself away from emacs, of course, so I use that for just about everything text-related (such as this post).

I'm not, however, using emacs for my iPhone / Mac development... I'm using Apple's XCode IDE. It's pretty nice, I'm still getting used to it, but what made it a nice transition was their emacs-based key binding set. Not everything is there, of course, but at least basic page navigation as well as killing and yanking is there, so I feel comfortable enough.

In other news... I finally signed up for Facebook for some reason. It's been fun since Mystique is also on it, as well as my brother, some old co-workers, and folks from high school. I'm not addicted to it, but I do like reading about what old friends are up to.

That's about it for now... I'm hoping to fire this blog back up, so check back soon!
