In the news...
/A few weeks ago, I mentioned being busy with something I couldn't talk about here. It's public now.
Hotel Rwanda
/I watched Hotel Rwanda this morning, this is a film that you absolutely have to see. Don Cheadle is fantastic in it, and it's a very moving story. Don't be scared off by the subject matter, this isn't an overwhelmingly depressing film, and it's one you won't ever forget.
Mac OS X 10.3.9
/According to Software Update, Mac OS X 10.3.9 is out. Ouch, 51.3MB!
Java for Absolute Beginners
/As you may have noticed on the right, I’m working my way through Java Programming for Absolute Beginners, which is kind of fun so far. I haven’t done any non-web programming since about 1994, so my skills are rusty in the extreme. To top it off, I never worked with any Object-Oriented languages, so this ought to be interesting. So far, the book has my interest, as you actually learn the language by writing a series of simple computer games, and most of my difficulties have been typos in my own code. Their Mac instructions aren’t entirely accurate though, I think they may be for Mac OS 9, but it’s really not clear. I’ve just used the UNIX instructions, and haven’t had any significant problems so far.
