WWDC 2008

I attended WWDC 2008 this past week. I’ve always wanted to go, but its always been too far away and way too expensive. I’m glad to report that I had a really great, and very productive time there.

Popularity?

I just found out that “spin”, the site I used to run for physics students at HUJI has an entry on bugmenot.com. I guess that means I’m famous :). Seriously - spin is a site that I hacked up using static html while I was doing my Physics degree. Those were hectic times for me, HUJI […] Tagged , , , ,

Those damned Yung’uns!

So I posted a question to the webkitsdk-dev mailing list today. For those not “in the know”, it’s a mailing list for people writing software that uses Apple’s WebKit open source browser engine - read: die-hard apple geaks, and technical web people.
