    Hi Mark,

    Once you start writing Mac apps (how's that thesis coming?), I of course am more than willing to beta test

    Absolutely; I'll post an announcement in the forums when new software is ready to be beta tested.

    Anything yet? *wink wink*

    Nothing yet, but now that I'm fully graduated, I've had time to start. There are two books on my wishlist, and I've been reading a lot of online tutorials to get me up to speed with Cocoa.

    I didn't intend to release my experiments, but there's a mac version of one of my old, retired Windows projects (no longer available here) that, with some spit and polish, might actually be fun to release as a freeware timewaster.

    Right now, though, most of my "ornj life" is being spent updating the Windows software, which I'm porting to more modern tools.

    Good to know I look forward to anything I haven't been playing much with with your software in the last while because I'm now a Mac guy full-time (huh? yea, that's Parallels down in my Dock. Big deal. You wanna fight about it? ) but I keep stopping by here regularly to see how things are going

    Might I suggest an IRC client? There are some OK ones for OS X but no great ones Also, port Araneae

    Hi Randy,

    Well, the battery life isn't what it used to be, but other than that it's still working flawlessly!

    I'd still like to release something for the mac; I really like the development tools. We'll see how things go.

    Just got my Mac yesterday. Definitely willing to test any Mac apps when the come out (Araneae port, pretty please!). Still have to keep Windows installed in Boot Camp since Smultron just doesn't cut it.

    Obviously Mac development hasn't been happening. (I'll chalk that up to time not being as readily available after finishing my master's as I thought it would. )

    It doesn't help that Mac and Windows development has been moving in very different directions, which makes it difficult to make native ports. (At least not without using some sort of framework that makes neither feel like a real "native" application.)

    Still, I maintain that something will come one day! I started work on some goofy little projects to learn the ropes of mac development, but got sidetracked. I really ought to resume that.

    I run Araneae in a program called WineBottler on my Mac. Works great! Haven't checked WAG or Citrus though.
