A kind user sent me a Simplified Chinese localization of Tubby so I’ve integrated it in. I’ve also been able to verify that Tubby runs fine on the new Intel machines.

Check it out.

I just got my MacBook Pro yesterday and today, Apple announced Boot Camp. Yeeha! I immediately gave it a spin and it’s awesome!

Windows purrs on the machine and even Unreal Tournament 2004 (Demo) ran great. I got it at 60fps with most of the settings turned up. For some reason, Unreal didn’t recognize the full resolution 1440×900 and instead only allowed me to go to 1152×864. Windows itself ran at the native resolution with no problems.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that I’m some sort of Windows back-switcher. But it’s nice to have around for testing web pages and games!

I bet it will really increase the sales of MacBook Pro …

Yay!

I recently ordered a MacBook Pro so that I could have a better development machine and could actually test Universal applications.

It came today! The packaging was immaculate. I’m not done installing everything I need on it. But, so far, it works great. It’s especially fast at compiling which should save me lots of time.

The only problem has been .Mac syncing … and that’s because the servers seem to be down. :(

I’ve been having this issue at work where I keep forgetting to lock my computer up when I leave my office. Not a biggie … there’s very little likelihood of some stranger wondering around our place. But nonetheless, the obsessive compulsive in me demanded a solution!

Up to now, I had my computer setup so that one of the hot corners would trigger the screensaver. The screensaver would require a password and voila! But it turns out that I don’t like screensavers much and I would always manage to accidentally trigger the hot corner.

When I saw Lock-It, I realized that a Dashboard widget is the perfect solution. However, that particular implementation didn’t appeal to me much. It was too big and the graphic wasn’t properly alpha blended. I tried to fix it up using different images. In the end, gave up and started from scratch. Heh, it’s a good way to learn about Dashboard! As it turns out, it was really quick and easy to get going.

Locker is the end product. Get it while it’s hot!

I got a bit of free time and I updated Tubby. Version 0.5 is out now. Here’s what’s new:

• Universal Binary (haven’t tested it tho)
• Updated CHMLib
• Minor UI improvements
