My first osx app

So today months after getting my cocoa book I actually got to writing my first app. Well it’s the first example app from the book and in about 15 min I had a little app that generated a random number from the current time and had the ability to generate a new random seed. In total two buttons and a label plus some methods etc. Interface builder is so far the nearest thing and the code is simple roberite and easy to adapt too. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can get anithe bit if the book complete

And so it begins

So I’ve decided I want to learn how to program for cocoa. Specifically code and make trivial meaningless apps for the iPhone. Having never really learned c++ and only kinda knowing my ways around HTML and actionscript things look like they should be kinda fun not to mention that I have until October till the first iPhone specific book droops onto shelfs.

Its almost been a year since I got lappy. Well its about that time that applecare comes into the picture. On friday Jen went and got me my applecare from carbon, good thing too since applecare just went down in price. At the same time she picked up an iskin for my ipod video. mmmm. It’s a pretty mice case covers the whole thing up nice, the hold button is a bit wonky but that will just take getting used too.

love ya jen.

apple trailers HD

Looks like the apple quicktime movie trailers site got a little overhaul when the new video ipod dropped the other week, more notable is the fact they have some movie trailers available in HD in three formats. 480p – 729p – 1080p

your goign to need a pretty boss machine to even play the 720p but the 480p is larger than even the large old trailer formats.

1080p wont even fit on my PB its so huge and looks great from what I could watch as HD runs best on G5’s. so give er a shot.
