Where I’ve Been
I haven’t posted anything since the 2003 OS X conference, so some of you (I really should say none of you, since I doubt anybody is reading this) may be wondering what I’ve been up to. Well, shortly after the conference, I was laid off from my full-time gig and went directly into full-time freelancing via infiniteNIL. I hooked up with a local Macintosh software company and have been working the past year on new version of one of their flagship products, which we just recently released. It was complete rewrite, using the Cocoa API. I’ve quite enjoyed it and Cocoa (and the Mac OS X platform in general) is wonderful to work with.
I’d go into more detail about the company and product, but they don’t want our relationship known as they prefer the outside world to believe they developed the product themselves. That is unfortunate, but I can understand their reasoning. I might have felt that way myself at one point, but now I’m starting to believe the more everybody shares, the more everybody gets. I’m quite proud of this product, though, as its my first shrink wrap product where I played a major role (if not the major role) in its development. And it runs on the OS X, a platform I believe in and strongly support.
I’m continuing to work on this product and other products for this company as well as some of my own personal products that I have in the works or in my mind. One product I will mention, which is the closest to being an actual product, is tentativly called Serendipity. It’s still only barely functional, but once I finish it, I hope people will find it entertaining and maybe even useful once in a while. All I’ll say is that its purpose is to bring people together.
