It never rains, it pours. iRooster appears to have been a featured download on apple.com today. I had several thousand downloads and as many purchases today as I did all last month. I ordered an ibook from smalldog. It is a stopgap until aluminu...
It looks like my 15” Titanium Powerbook G4, Sugar Daddy Mac, age 21 months, passed away today. Needless to say, I am slightly less than thrilled about this. If anyone can offer some advice on this (i.e. perhaps it’s just mostly dead, to quote Bill...
I had an interesting day today. I re-realized that my co-workers absolutely love me for the simple reason that I do the work I’m expected to do. I don’t need supervision, I get stuff done on time, and it works. Apparently this is a big thing. The...
I feel pretty damn good about the changes I made to iRooster today. I finally settled on a new design for the Alarm Editor (a picture of the old design is the link there). It’s a little bit more complex, but not too much. Also, this is rather unav...

I am definitely, completely, officially done with school forever. I just finished my final for the rhetoric class I was taking. I didn’t need to take the class, but I needed financial aid for the summer, and it looked (and proved to be) really int...
Why I develop software in my free time: “You know, we don’t grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved… I mean, we’re constantly...
A few quick things to toss out there. iRooster 2.0 will, without a doubt, be Panther-only. I have zero clue what the timeframe is for that right now. For the time being, I think I have to use the kludgy PMU property setter interface (blergh). From...
