After much toiling and slaving away at fixing really, really cryptic bugs, I’ve released SS 1.5’s first private beta. I’m going to save the details for later, but it’s definitely hawt.

A public beta will, as I mentioned, hopefully come sometime in the next few weeks. I’ve pledged to make this thing as bug-free as possible, because of all the problems that people are having with 1.1.5.

Some details:

• SS 1.5, as stated below, is a universal binary. It also includes some Intel detection code which (hopefully) makes screen capture work without inverting the image. I’ll need someone on an Intel machine to test it, though.
• On that note, SnapShooter 1.5 is now Tiger exclusive. SnapShooter will NOT work on Panther. This is because it uses some kick-ass CoreImage stuff on some of the views.
• The final version of SnapShooter 1.5 will include Smart Crash Reports. Unsanity really kicks ass. 🙂

I finally got SS 1.5 to compile as a FAT universal binary. It was all that stupid DotMacKit.framework’s fault. I got off my ass and actually put in the new one.

The only thing I have to worry about is making sure the Take Screenshot function works. It was inverting the color on Intel boxes. I think I fixed it though. I sent it off to a friend with an IDK box, so hopefully he’ll get back to me.

Public beta will hopefully come yonder this Christmas. I can hear you giggling with glee already.

I found this story on /. and Digg, and I had to check it out. It’s a story of a guy who got ripped off by an online camera retailer. These stories exist for two reasons: one, to help get justice for the guy who got screwed, and two, to warn others about the scam. Check it out. Their site is PriceRitePhoto.com, although it looks like its getting slammed right now.

So I’m a mirror for Evening at Adler. I’m priveleged enough to have a server with unlimited bandwidth and a 10 MB/sec (that’s megabytes, not megabits) connection to the Internets, which means that I’m fortunate enough to be able to share this awesome video with the world, very quickly. Most people who have downloaded the video so far have been in the 200 KB/sec range, which means that I’ve got enough bandwidth to serve 50 people simultaneously at the full potential of their broadband connection.

Not terribly hard to do, but it looks like a Cocoa table now.

So now she scrolls. Now time to put a table of content in there.

I got out of my last class of the quarter a few hours ago. All I have left are exams next week. My exam schedule is as follows:

• Monday: Calc 2
• Tuesday: CS1

That’s it. ^^

I’m writing this from Flock because I have nothing else to do.  This seems pretty slick.  I’ll have to play with it more.

Saw was an awesome movie. Sure, the acting kinda sucked, and the story was full of holes, but the overall twists and turns made for an awesome movie. That and the gore. Lots of gore. Oh, and the fact that you felt like you were in that crappy (pun not intended) bathroom. All of that added up and made Saw awesome.

So, you’re probably saying to yourself, “couldn’t they have just made Saw 2 like Saw?” Well, reader, Saw 2 failed on every count, including gore. The acting sucked harder, the story had more holes than John Roberts’ testimony for Supreme Court, they dodged most of the truly gory shots (with the exception of a few awesome ones)…nothing! The Jigsaw Killer has his prey for his games, but the story isn’t even about them, it’s about a cop! WTF!!!!!!
