25 days after the switch to a mac and RESTful fun

So here it is 25 days after I made “the switch”, but not just any switch, I switched from Linux. So what are my thoughts? I’m loving it! OSX is an amazing OS, especially running on a core 2 duo. Obviously, there are some things I miss, such as complete POSIX compliance and compiles working out of the box, but I’ve been able to get everything I needed to work to actually work. I’d have to say my productivity has increased since the switch, probably due to better tools (Textmate).

Last weekend I got phpSysInfo’s Darwin support almost up-to-par with the other OS’s it supports. I still have a few things left, but I’ll be submitting them back as a patch here shortly.

Today, I spent most of the day working on ThreadBound when I should have been starting my huge project for school that is due on Friday. Besides setting up a bug tracker and doing the usual bug fixing, I actually added a completely new feature to ThreadBound — an MVC based REST API system. It’s actually pretty complete and shouldn’t change much from here until the site goes live, since all I do now is create new class files and methods. Right now, it only has clones of Flick’s flickr.test.echo and my own version of flickr.test.null. Of course, all of mine go by threadbound.* instead of flickr.*.

This site may go down for a few hours sometime within the next 3 days. I’m transferring the domain from enom.com to godaddy.com. Hopefully things will be fine when the transfer is done.

I’m off to bed now.
