Jott2iGTD After Dark

Note: This post is over a year old. You may want to check later in this blog to see if there is new information.

Okay. It’s 12:30AM and I never stay up this late. Mostly because I usually get up about 3 or 4 hours from now. But I’m pretty deep into the new version of Jott2iGTD right now. In order to take advantage of the new notification features of iGTD, I had to use rubycocoa, and distributing that in any decent way meant a bundled app. Then the challenge was creating a universal binary (I ended up building for PPC only and it works fine). Then I had to embed a ruby interpreter to normalize the playing field. Then I had to fake out an icon (it’ll get better), and now I’m back to debugging. This is all new to me, I’ve been scripting since my Pascal days but haven’t had to compile anything for as long as I can remember. Or write a line of C. I had to write 5 or 6 to make this one work ;). So anyway, I’ve only been able to test this on two machines, one Intel, one PPC, so if anyone would like to get an advance copy and let me know if it works, all you need is the ability to run Console and email its output. Contact me if you’re interested.

    Hi Brett,

    would be really cool if you could make a little tutorial on how to set up rubycocoa and compile a real application with it.

    Thanks in advance

    Yeah, I was thinking I should do that. It took me hours, no, days to figure it out. I thought I had it but it kept crashing on PPC. I’ll put together a list of how I did it before I forget, I’ll need the reference anyway ;).

Have your say
