damn... heres a lesson for all you mac users... OMNIWeb DOES NOT work with blogger... piece of crap.. there goes another long blog into the infinite void.. basatrd...

ok, i basically said
- i got OSX.2 today and it runs sweet on my iBook
- ive been marking assignments
- i got asked if i would create some assignments / exams for a post grad subject - i might give it a go
- hrmmm thats all i can remember..

grrr - dodgy web browsers....

hrmm, Fire for OS X is really buggin me... ive used it all the time under OS X, but it seems to be going nowhere... i downloaded the yahoo messenger client today and its got full webcam support, somthing that fire isnt even close to getting.. anyway.. i played around a bit and found out i can use my digital video camera as a webcam.. very neat.... but it only works under yahoo messenger so far... and people will need the proper yahoo client to view it... hrmmm i need a decent webhost so i can upload with ftp using CoolCam... hrmmm somthing to look in to..

Saw my ex today for the first time in like ... hrmmm... 6 months (rough guess, its probably longer) I didnt even think she would talk to me, but gave a wave and smiled... hrmm weird lol... i was chatting wiht someone at the time so i just said hi back.... lol kinda funny...

Bought a quickbooks books for my mum today, shes a rank accounting program wiz... i saw this book and asked if she wanted it... so ill have to get off my lazy butt and send that to her...

The new VPN client was released for OS X, so my vpn client front end for OS X will need to be updated... seems they want two seperate installers for both versions which seems weird to me as the new client handles all versions of OS X... i think i need to have a chat with them about it...

Go some peachy ideas for web stuff last night... gunna start whacking out php / coldfusion / asp web stuff, just generally stuff... its cool...

righto, im done...

hrmmm im gunna update my webpage soon as well... its getting awfully old and 'normal' looking...

another day, another popen(...) and fflush( ) statement... *sigh*

yup, ive figured out the little problem with NSTask and NSPipe.... and the solution is..... get ready..... DONT USE THEM... yup... thats my solution... so now ive got some fancy cocoa code with a chunk of straight C in the middle of it... but it works... and thats all im worried about. Seems the easiest way to start a process and send data to its stdin stream is by using straight C calls... totally weird... maybe theres a way using cocoa/objective C calls with the apple API, but im damned if i could find it. As far as i can see, NSTask is only good for creating processes with command line arguments, and NSPipe is only good for reading from the processes stdout stream.... try using an NSPipe with stdin and tell me how ya go... go on.. i dare ya to... *sigh* maybe apple will make it easier later on or somthing...
even the all knowing google couldnt find me an example of using NSPipe with stdin stream... it seems my world is falling apart... i didnt think id see the day when the all knowing google would be stumped.. sending back information that does contain my search words, but really does not relate... but thats enough of that.. we shall never speak of it again.

Been marking assignments.. essay / short answer style questions, i thought it would be tough, but it appears that the questions must of come straight out of the book as most people have similar answers....

I think ill buy myself a webcam tomorrow... would be handy to play with and it actually relates to my phd study.. so ill write the bugger off in tax next year :)

Im still waiting on my copy of jaguar - os x.2... when will it come? Apple.. can you hear me? *sigh*

*grumble grumble* - im huuunnngggrrryyyyy!!!!.. hrmmmm

ok, time to go and eat.... again....
