  Visual Studio on Parallels / Red Steel. 

  After installing Parallels on my MacBook Pro I installed Visual Studio C# Express to see how it would perform. Without any sort of metrics I’ll say that it seemed faster than my T60, notably compilation appeared to be much faster.

  Laura rented Red Steel for the Wii. Um.. I burned through the first two levels and the entire time I was fighting with the controls. It’s not a bad game, in fact, it’s quite good for a launch title. I think that more time with the controller and more time on the cut scenes and this game would have been great. As it is, the control scheme knocked me out of the experience.

  Mac news that impacts me. And maybe you. But probably not. I don’t know. Maybe. 

  Mac News:
  1. Our friend Jill just got a MacBook. Another joins the flock!
  2. MacHeist is offering an excellent software bundle for a ridonkulous price. There is a fevered discussion on Gus’ site, right here.
  3. CocoaBlogs is up and running, tracking the blogs of cocoa developers. I did a lot of Cocoa development this weekend.

    I don’t know what made me think of this today. Remember second year when we went to the P.J. parade and never told any of the first years cause it was “tradition,” and when we were running from one spot on the route to the next, Hash wiped out when he was taking a corner?

    Memories

    p.s. that screen makes your face look blue.

  MacBook Pro: the giant slab edition. 

  Hopefully, at this time tomorrow I’ll be typing away on a new 17inch MacBook Pro. I traded in my Dual G5 about a year ago and I’ll be applying that credit to this beast.

  I’m looking forward to “coming home.” I miss applications like QuickSilver and Voodoo Pad. And a real terminal. And a lot of other things.

  Write an application a day? 

  This endeavour may not be for me, but Dana Hanna thinks it’s for him.

  Follow his experiment at An App a Day.

  Boo Microsoft and your XNA IDE 

  I have to install C# Express to use the XNA IDE? But I have Visual Studio C# Standard Edition.

  Boo-urns on your lame requirements. You say they can co-exist, but I don’t want them to co-exist if I paid for an IDE that is better.

  MyDreamApp: A buffet of app ideas. 

  Phil Ryu is running MyDreamApp, which is like American Idol meets software development. It sounds like a great idea to me.

  What sounds even better is trolling the forums and picking up an idea and developing it yourself.

  Three ideas are picked and turned into products and right now there are 1400+ ideas submitted. Seems like a large number of good ideas would be available.

    Hah. Quite suspicious dont you think that this was implemented months before the legislation is even passed?

    Is this about terrorists or the file sharing community?

    One wonders….
