My Radio Userland weblog can also be seen at http://www.mc-development.com/weblog, which is a bit easier to remember than http://radio.weblogs.com/0100097. 7:19:28 PM    Comments []

While I was outside I saw a few iguanas. Unfortunately they left before I could get my camera. 6:13:27 PM    Comments []

I spent most of the afternoon working outside. My iBook lasts about 3 hours without any attempts to conserve battery power and I can sit at one of the tables near the pool and still be able to get online through my airport base station. I cleaned up a lot of code, and I'm attempting to build a MacOS 9 compatible carbon or classic version of the computrace client. It isn't possible to call IOKit functions or use BSD-style I/O from a MacOS 9-compatible Carbon CFM application, so I need to rewrite my modem connection code. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do it, most likely writing a classic application, which will also let it run on older OS versions. I'll also need to do the same with the asset tracking client, which uses lots of OS X specific code. I also need to rewrite my code which installs modules & loads external code, since it now uses Mach-O frameworks. 6:12:38 PM    Comments []
