Exams, Exams, Exams

I suppose i’d better start by saying happy new year to everyone that reads this blog. As you can probably tell development is very slow. I haven’t really had much time to do anything as I have had a few computer science exams, the majority of which are still on going. I need to think of something new and interesting to do, something that will hold my attention for more than ten minutes. As soon as I think of something I will give you a heads up, but for now I will sign off.

Another Re-Design

Over the next few weeks the website will be going through another re-design. This time I am going to be re-writing the back end code for the website rather than the interface. Regular viewers of the site will notice some speed increases. Non-regular viewers probably won’t see anything different. The reason for the re-write is that, after writing reams of Java code, I wish my website code looked nicer and worked better. So that’s what i’m going to do. The website will go offline for a period during the transistion, bu…

TextMate, Java & Compiling [Updated]

For those of you that do not already know TextMate is a brilliant text editor for Mac OS X, including syntax highlighting and the most useful snippets system I have ever come across. If your a budding coder and want to try it out visit: macromates.com, and download a copy.

This post illustrates some of the bundle items I have either modified or added to TextMate to make it easier to use for Java development. If you use TextMate already then hopefully you will kn…

Java Programming

Well, it was bound to happen eventually, i’ve turned to the dark side and accepted Java as a programming language. It was sort of inevitable being as I have to learn Java for uni and I now have a complete game to program for an assessment. As for iSyncIt, progress is slow, really slow, but it is getting done, I might release 1.0 as an incremental rather than a large change release. Sorry to disappoint but I really haven’t got time (it will be my primary focus again around christmas when I go home from uni). I may how…

Progress

I thought it was about time that I posted again to show that I am still alive and kicking. I am making progress with the 1.0 release of iSyncIt but the progress has been slow due to the fact I have to learn Java for university, don’t worry I will be keeping my applications in Obj-C for now but any new applications will probably grow a Java back end. I haven’t really done much work on the previously announced Aliquando but I will try and do some more soon because I could really do with the program for myself. Well, I …
