So I'm going to have to droll about Cocoa again for a minute.

It fucking rocks. I swear this is the nicest language I've ever used- clean, easy, and uber powerful. The only problem is the learning curve... I know I'm still at the bottom, but I'm just thinking up these little applications, and things to add to those apps, and BANG! I'm done.

I just added a new feature to ShellPad that only took like 7 minutes to implement- I swear this would have taken probably 20-40 minutes in REALbasic, or maybe fucking 2 hours in java... jeeze. I can understand now why people get so religous about Cocoa.

So... um... I'm using Movable Type right now to edit this blog... but I hooked up GMJa to use it as it's blog backend, so I can still do my nifty macros stuff and write the backend in java.

.... right. The archives are once again broken... but what's new. Actually, you can see the Movable Type version right here .. it's it's got a nice archive system.

I created a quick little Project Builder project today that shows how to dynamicly add menuitems to yer app- DynamicMenu.sit. I needed this for a new feature to ShellPad, and I figured other folks might need it too.

Or somethen like that.

I've seen a bunch of good quotes on slashdot today-

"Engineering is a discipline, XP is just glorified hacking, only by becomming disciplined will software improve."

"There is no silver bullet, never will be. Logic requires careful thought, and careful thought requires time."

"We're stuck in a sea of IT dreck that's concealing actual good ideas. New products, endless upgrades, marketing schemes, propaganda, FUD, evangelism, poor releases, confusing releases, and much more. What good tools and improvements in programming are out there, I feel, are concealed by the less-than good and utterly terrible tools, concepts, and techniques that exist."
