A new office
September 27, 2009
I’ve completed cards 4 and 5 and now have a new office! This is great, a place to sit and work in comfort. OK enough of the namby pamby stuff.
Card #6 install mac is coming along nicely although still a work in progress. I started working on the next card (more on that later) and learned that I needed some more software. I also realized I needed some things to make my new computer a more useful tool for everyday. I installed the following:
- MenuMeters – computer performance widget
- Adium – universal im client
- Flip4Mac – wmv codec for mac
- p4 – perforce (a source control system, more on that later)
- TextWrangler – text pad (use a lot for debugging, log files etc…)
- Transmission – bittorrent client
- Perian – more codecs for mac
- Seashore – free paint/draw tool (will need for project icons, placeholders etc…)
I will try to link these in the future once I figure out how 
Speaking of figuring out how to do something, I fired up monotouch and decided I needed a new card immediately and that was to go through the tutorial and write Hello World. Card #7 Hello World. Which I did and didn’t really learn much. The monotouch documentation is in a neophyte stage.
Time for some more cards to support a new story: Learning development on the iPhone.
