Cocoa Tastes Great
posted on april 19, 2003, tag: site
My only real experience writing a program was CurrentlyHearing, my Winamp 2 plugin, which I wrote on a PC using Delphi (yes, Delphi!). Even that wasn't really a true application for the most part. But still, it was an experience I wouldn't give away. And, in the long run, it ended up being quite fulfilling. Thousands of people are currently (no pun) using CH, and more people download it every day. As of right now, CH is on hold. The reasons are many, though it's mostly due to my current Internet situation, and that fact that I'm just not interested in trying to expand it at this time.
I have been, for the past few weeks, [fucking] obsessed with the personal project I'm currently working on. I'm writing an application for OS X. Compared to writing CH, writing this app has been a godsend. Objective-C and Cocoa are fantastic, and the [free!] Project Builder and Interface Builder are so intuitive and easy to use.
So I've been spending almost every free hour working on this application, hence the slow updating. I just can't pull myself away from it. You'll have to excuse my neglect of the site in the meantime. And, for all of you OS X users, you can look forward to a new app in the near future. Also, please visit Software[.maniacalrage.net] if you would like to become a beta tester.

Hopefully you'll enjoy it enough to make a CH for iTunes... ;x .. Kung Tunes just doesn't do it for me.

CH is a great application-plugin. I have used it for quitea while, they only thing I would want changed would be an option to turn off the "playing nothing" when winamp is closed.

Sad, sad, sad. But funny.
