Changes

Posted on by david

I haven’t blogged much recently. I’ve been kinda busy.

I started a new full-time gig (no Codebase is not dead, just scaled back a little), I started riding my bike (10km both ways… uphill) to my new full-time gig (can we say butt pain?), and we’ve been doing a lot of work around the house (Mmmm hiding decrepit plaster work, fun!).

I have a couple of WebObjects articles I want to post, and Dave M has a couple of suggestions for extensions to the Cyrus articles that I should add too.

I just need to figure out how to make the time to write them up.

I won’t however, be talking much about the office. That’s not what this blog is about, and I don’t think it’s a CEA (Career Enhancing Activity) 🙂 But I am working on some cool projects with some cool people. I’m sure some interesting WebObjects techniques (that aren’t full of trade secrets) should fall out of that.

Nifty Corners

This is very slick.

Rounded corners using CSS and a bit of JavaScript. I read the original article a while back and thought it was cool then too. But now that it supports IE 5.5 + I thinks that maybe I’m gonna need to included it in some of my projects. 🙂

Core Data

Posted on by david

More and more details are becoming available about Core Data. I’ve mentioned it in the past, but with little detail due to the NDA nature of the information. However Apple has now published an extensive overview (thanks bbum).

I am hoping that this gets people really excited. I’m hoping that they start building cool data-driven Cocoa apps because they get this cool stuff for free. I’m hoping they go: “Gee this is neat! I wish we could build web-apps this way too.”

Because, then I could show them WebObjects. ‘Cause you know, you can.
