Dunno when my last entry was, at least six months ago. this one is being posted via the wordpress iPhone app while sitting at the az . net Scott Guthrie event. In the last six months here’s what we’ve been up to:
1. we tried cutting of our cable tv. and going with a mac mini htpc setup with boxee, hulu desktop, iTunes, etc. That didn’t go well. I ended up writing a lot of AppleScript to attempt to knit together harmony remote, eyeTV, etc. that worked about 85% of the time. We lived with that setup for about four months, and now we’re on DirectTv. Their cost structure doesn’t penalize you for having two DVRs, and their Hd signal is better.
2. Work is going well, one really interesting thing I’ve been a part of is an iphone application. I’ve attempted trivial apps in the past, but this one is a full fledged application that has sign in, list views, security, etc. I’m really happy with the results.
3. I’m rewriting this blog in google app engine, using aptana studio’s support. I’m doing this to learn Python, and get a different perspective on mvc. I’m not exactly sure when it’ll be done, but it’s been fun so far.
