XCode… hmm…
This weekend, instead of going camping like I’d planned because of some major car repair issues, I decided to play with XCode and take a stab at learning Obj-C.
Is it me or is XCode a bit unstable?
It’s one thing to crash when building a project into which I’ve written craptasticly buggy code, it’s quite […]
Another Mac shareware vendor bows out
A message was posted today to the Macintosh Software Business group that contained a forwarded message from Brian Clark, author of the excellent power-user Usenet newsgroup app Thoth.

Hacking at the Windows source code
