I’m a Windows developer in my spare time. I used to write MFC apps in C++ using Visual Studio 6. Then the world changed and now I write Winforms apps in C# using Visual Studio 2005. Windows has a certain way of doing things that I’ve become accustomed (brainwashed) into doing without thinking. Absorbing C# seemed to take about half an hour. I’m now attempting to learn how to write OSX applications.

This is my very first step at learning how to do all that Windows stuff on my Mac, but doing it the Mac way. Witness as I learn totally alien concepts and discover I’ve fatally broken my Mac’s devkit even before running it.

My front room isn’t the biggest, and with a settee and chair in there’s not much room left, especially if you want to do certain things like use the front door. After a bit of shuffling round I have the room sorted and it doesn’t look cramped. I just have my office to attack now, and then the carpets to hoover.

It’s nice having a room that isn’t cluttered with junk and things to trip over.
