Long time no post!

Filed under: Thoughts — atma @ 11:52 pm

Dear Blog,
Long time until the last post I’ve made at this blog. The reason is that I had several other things in mind and I stopped reading about Objective C. The time is the first thing that one needs to handle, along with his temper. Well, for me it’s very hard to control both. Although I want to learn Cocoa and Objective C, as I already wrote elsewhere, I knew since day one it would be a difficult task not because of the language inherent difficulties, but mostly because of time. The serious lack of free time in my daily schedule doesn’t permit me to read and practice enough. However, I’m hopping to make a fresh start this week end!
Hope everything goes for the best!

MacOSX Developers Approach

Filed under: Thoughts — atma @ 5:58 pm

Scott Stevenson wrote an interesting article about the approach of most MacOSX developers. As I mentioned before, this is one of the key reasons I choose this platform and programming language. The hack value that most OSX applications have these days is above everything else. I’m flirting with the idea of a FreeBSD desktop with beryl support for fancy graphics. I’ve seen many YouTube video’s. It’s nice but the interface still misses the fresh feeling that Aqua gives. Not to mention of course other problems that Linux has in the desktop field (bad implementation, buggy applications, not unique interface, etc), I have no previous experience with FreeBSD but I think that the Desktop environment is unique for GNU/Linux and BSD’s.
However Stevenson deals with the entire topic in a very interesting way. The conversation that follows through comments is also very interesting.
