Been working on an iphone app. Been thinking about slapping the code up on github, it needs a bunch more work. But not too bad.
Going home for thanksgiving is always nice.

Rewrote the main site in django on a dev box. Really liking it. It combines rewrite regex tricks with a database-agnostic backend, with a free admin interface thrown in to boot. The template syntax is nice, as well.
Finally bought a new phone to replace my old dying non-smartphone. Got the HTC Evo, been liking it so far. Downloaded a copy of the android SDK and compiled my first hello world app. Different than Cocoa for sure, but I like the ability to just program an interface rather than fighting interface builder. Xcode4 solves a bunch of these issues, but Objective-C is still less friendly than more modern languages.
Finally updated to the new XCode, which cleans up the UI very nicely. The new version supports git repositories, which I managed to get working with my dev server. So now, nifty remote backups/branches of my code.
Bought a 3G iPhone off my partner at work for dev work. Installed a GPS turn based app, never going to get lost ever again.
Been toying with the dark side of programming. Slapped a flash frontend up on the main site. Working on another.
Been programming full time for the past few months for a startup company. Been a bit of sink or swim. Working with other people in an office is a bit different than my usual ambient music/darkened room/pajamas routine. It’s cool, though, to just mess with the backend and know that somebody else will handle making things look good. Sadly, not everybody in the universe is in love with my design aesthetic.
Been playing around with the dev kit a little, wrote a real iPhone app. Ported it to the iPad, much sexier. All I had to do was rewrite some .nib files, yay for a well designed API. Debating what other features to add before I submit it to the store.
Upgraded my laptop drive with a 1TB WD Scorpio drive. Fit just barely, but nicely. Had to downgrade the EFI to version 1.6 to get it to recognize the drive, which was a pain.
Finally fixed my css menus (read: got a coworker to fix it), so rolled that out. Made the movies pages random. Gonna add some ajax nonsense to the front page to fake being part of web 2.0.
