Unsure whether or not I am caving

Posted in Stuff on April 16th, 2010 by kev – 3 Comments

I have waited a long time for the new MacBook Pros to be released, and finally that wait is over. The other day Apple released their refreshed MacBook pro line with shiny new core i5 and i5 processors. However, they also released their new terms of service for iPad/iPhone development. If you are a developer and have not heard about this yet, you must be living under a rock (or not care about Apple in the slightest).

// WARNING: the ctrl mask randomly subtracts 96 from the ascii

Well, It has been a little while since we have posted anything new about Wezzle. Both Cam and myself have been pretty busy with other endeavors and progress on Wezzle slowed quite a bit. But now we are back to working on it and even though I got hit with a bout of the swine flu, we managed to release Wezzle test 7!

Learning Scala

Posted in Programming Languages on April 14th, 2009 by kev – Be the first to comment

My copy of Programming in Scala finally arrived yesterday, and I have had a chance to read the first chapter. It looks to be a very interesting language. I have had a desire to learn functional programming for a long time, and I have a giant fascination with programming languages in general. Scala seems to be getting a lot of hype right now, and the ability to program both Imperatively and Functionally is too hard to pass up.

Willing to sell out

Cam and I were talking about our mutual love for the IM tool Digsby which we both use to track e-mails, social networks and Instant messaging. If you like the popular Mac tool Adium, you will love Digsby. Even if you have never heard of Adium, Digsby is worth checking out.

I have joined Twitter. I generally hate flavour of the month technology fads and Twitter is no exception. I am already really annoyed with the media coverage of Twitter. It seems like every time I turn on the radio I hear about it. That being said, you can follow me here.

I have a fascination with programming languages. I have been reading up on many different ones trying to get a feel for them all. I enjoy learning about the different syntaxes and what the advantages are of the different paradigms. I find most of the languages offer really interesting concepts and benefits.

Performance still matters.

With the abundance of computing power in processors today it is easy to fall into the trap of implementation without thought of performance. It is something I think all programmers do, myself especially.
