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.

Been playing around with the iPhone dev kit. Wrote my very own flashlight app. World domination is surely but a few more steps away.

Spent the last few months learning nuke. 3D compositing is pretty slick. Gonna work on my python skills so I can do some scripting.

Some dudes stole my computer with the last three years of my writing and all my artwork. My backup hard drive was in the bag as well. Keep offsite backups, kids. Another lesson learned the hard way. Never trust anyone.

I ordered a new macbook pro. The speed is pretty nice. But now my camera is basically useless without the direct memory interface that PCMIA on my laptop provided. So, guess I’m gonna have to part with that as well. Yay for humanity.
