User Interfaces

It's astonishing how easy it was to whip up an editor for this new blog app by Nicholas. When I ran into some serious issues with permissions for uploading and things, Nicholas suggested that I embed the editor in a webkit app so I can make a GUI for it.

So, with some fear, since it's been a few years since I last did any Mac OS X programming, that's exactly what I did.

About 1 hour later, here I am typing up a blog entry in my brand new app. It looks crap (lol @ trying to resize the window, for example), it's hella dodgy (sup submitting to a web form... haha), it has hard-coded paths and links and stuff, but it works. I'm very pleased. Thanks Interface Builder & Xcode for making this so stupidly easy. lol.

Next up, in order to save face with Nicholas, I should pull all the crappy form processing from this script and make it a bit less dodgy. Hah. Yeah, shouldn't be too hard I think!

PS this is the last bit of programming for today -- I promised myself I'd clean up my house :)
