It's been awhile since my last blog entry, probably because I've been micro-blogging with Twitter, lately.  I'm probably going to add my Twitter updates to my site, as well, and possibly have blog entry URLs posted to my Twitter feed, too.  If you're curious, here are the Twitter clients I recommend:

• For Nokia E71: Gravity
• For iPhone/iPod Touch: Twitteriffic (via App store)
• For Linux: Twitux

Let's see, what have I been doing…

I recently picked up an iPod touch, so I could familiarize myself and do some development on the iPhone OS without paying the Apple tax on my current AT&T plan, and losing the functionality of my Nokia E71.  I can still get online anywhere via JoikuSpot on the E71.

The unit was easily jailbroken, and I feel at home with access to the Unix environment underneath.  I spent a good amount of time last weekend learning a bit about Xcode and how Apple oppresses iPhone developers.  After banging my head against Xcode and the weirdness that is Objective-C for awhile, I wrote one or two crappy OS X Cocoa applications (ok, a tiny calculator and a stupid hello world program).  Before even getting to the iPhone development with Xcode, I picked up iPhone Open Application Development, and realized that I could avoid the developer oppression and just use open-source tools without the crappy bloat and complication of the Xcode IDE and Apple's app store.

Sufficed to say, I haven't written anything of merit, yet, but one of these days I'll do something :)

The condo pool opened a few weeks ago.  The water is just starting to warm up, finally.  We've had some strange weather recently, but most of it has served to increase the temperature of the water in the pool, so I'm happy.

Unfortunately, I haven't updated the "my network" section of my site in awhile - so I just ripped it out and moved it to the wiki.  I figured I should name the network so I came up with Prolixium Communications Network (PCN).  Pretty silly, huh?

Let's see, what else.  Work's been pretty hectic, lately.  I have more projects than I really have time for, and I even have to play operations escalation every once and awhile.  Keeps things interesting, though!  Never a dull moment.

Oh, lastly, I'll be heading out to the windy city for some training, soon.  Hopefully I'll have some time to do exploring and sighseeing, although I doubt it.  The class I'm taking will consume most of my time, but we'll see.
