More to come later.

Once AT&T installs my Uverse service (mmm, fiber) Jan. 6, I’ll be able to start posting. And hopefully customizing this site. I have a lot to catch up on.

I was able to implement my previous Objective-C code using the new Obj-C2 @property syntax and a better algorithm, so it is much shorter and works better. However, I still seem to have trouble converting all of the strings I need to from NSData to NSString objects. I don’t have access to my Quad right now, so I haven’t been able to work on it in a while, but that’s the last thing I need to fix before torrent file parsing should work.

In other news, I’ve been reading a lot about computer architecture and design, as well as Unix programming on Mac OS X. Once I get my Quad back and upgraded to Leopard, I should be able to start experimenting.

I’ve also updated my wish list, so family members seeking gift ideas should check it out.

Much new content will be forthcoming, including Leopard rumors and news.
