I&#8217;m at an Apple dev thing, so I might as well go see Steve&#8217;s new movie. In truth, I was planning on seeing <i>Hulk<\/i> but got to the theatre at 9:50 and Hulk started at 10&#8230; So I opted for something else. But let me back up a bit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Today was the first day of heavy code. I finished loading Panther (10.3) on my laptop. Then the CD Rom drive died. \ud83d\ude41 Fortunately, I wasn&#8217;t the only person with this problem. So&#8230; The other person had transfered the dev tools to a disc image, and now I have those too. Seminars today included Unix tools on the Mac and Open GL. My brain got kinda full.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner was spent with the old team again. I met a slew of other people who used to work for the black &#038; gold yin-yang and had a fun evening at the Metreon. They have a killer arcade and it turns out Tuesday is &#8220;All you can play for $10&#8221; In the back they had a &#8216;vintage&#8217; room. I played &#8220;Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Altered Beast&#8221;  (I got absolutely slaughtered on A.B., but it was a killer to hear, <i>POWER UP<\/i>. MAME is fun, but still not like the real thing. Sadly the original Space Invaders and Tron machines were dead.<\/p>\n<p>Some co-workers played &#8220;Dance Dance Revolution&#8221; which I have only tried once and swore never to do again.  I tried it the last time I was in S.F. at the Metreon. I couldn&#8217;t keep up. I found a game called HyperBowl and bowled a pretty good game in the streets of San Francisco, but I sucked in Tokyo. I played Capcom vs. Marvel and clobbered the LiveUpdate guy from my old team.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, I headed up to the aforementioned theatre. I figured my choices were Nemo and Bruce Almighty. The rather perky guy behind the counter who said, &#8220;Welcome to the theatre and Happy Tuesday!&#8221; I asked him which film of the two he recommended. He told me that he wasn&#8217;t allowed to make recommendations or comments. He then went on to tell me however if he could make recommendations then they&#8217;d probably lean toward Nemo.<\/p>\n<p>Good call. Nemo was excellent. I&#8217;d put it above Monster&#8217;s, Inc. Probably in a close heat with TS2. Somehow I&#8217;m going to see if I can drag Heather to it. We&#8217;ll see \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Right now it is 1:18. I&#8217;ve just spoken with Fraser of <lj comm=\"xjournal\"> and we&#8217;re going to see if we can figure out the compilation problems with WebKit and the runtime problems under Panther. I&#8217;ll be talking to Apple Dev Relations tomorrow for some hints. <\/p>\n<p>Mean time&#8230; I&#8217;m not exactly tired, so I&#8217;m going to pull out my old CP application and see what I can figure out under the new IDE.<\/p>\n<p>Night all&#8230;<br \/>\nTomorrow is another day&#8230;<\/lj><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-714\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2003\/06\/25\/a-sense-of-zen-at-the-end-of-day-j-38\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-714\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2003\/06\/25\/a-sense-of-zen-at-the-end-of-day-j-38\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-714\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2003\/06\/25\/a-sense-of-zen-at-the-end-of-day-j-38\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2003\/06\/25\/a-sense-of-zen-at-the-end-of-day-j-38\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 12:55 am and I&#8217;m writing a post&#8230; I just got out of seeing Finding Nemo.
