I finally got myself a new MacBook and it is absolutely fantastic! My trusty old 12″ PowerBook is long overdue for retirement. Even though it is only six years for the past year and a half it have had a DVD stuck in the drive and to be honest the PowerPC just doesn’t deliver the multimedia performance that my web ways require these days. It will be missed…
Luckily Apple understands what I want in my IT equipment. Not only on the hardware side (it is gorgeous!) but also on the software that is installed on the system. It feels so right and it is the kind of stuff that really makes me want to be creative and do stuff. When will I find the time. My first project has to be to import all my photos and music. Then I need to populate my newly acquired web site on www.velasquez.dk It will be great I am sure. Everything just looks better on the Mac.
So now I really feel I have a converged machine. It has got my favourite software for all the home and recreation stuff that I do like photos, web publishing and video editin. It all comes with iLife and for the work stuff I got a very good emulator in Terminal and the MacBook comes with X11 already installed. It is truly a converged system that allows me to live my digital work and home life with ease.
I trying to write some software for my iPhone. Apple provides and entire SDK for doing just that. Following a tutorial I am sure I will have my first “Hello World!” app up and running in now time. I will keep you posted. Hello World!
