Yes, I know, it’s been over two weeks. I’ve been holding back some posts I’ve wanted to make, since they demanded preliminary work I couldn’t do at the time… scanning stuff and processing pictures, and so on. Hopefully next week…<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, my proposed paper for the 2005 Advanced Developers Hands On Conference<\/a> has been accepted. ADHOC (formerly famous as MacHack<\/a>) will happen July 27-31, 2005, in Dearborn MI (near Detroit). A great conference for Mac developers.<\/p>\n Regarding the paper, the working title is: “Out of the Bottle: Beyond the Genie Effect”.<\/p>\n One Cocoa FAQ is how to do the Genie Effect. Unfortunately, the effect itself is done behind the curtain by the Window Manager. We’ll show how to do it in a few easy steps, which will teach you how to:<\/em><\/p>\n 1) Overlay a transparent window over the screen and draw into it<\/em><\/p>\n 2) Use OpenGL in that window to move images around<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n 3) Make it appear that your windows are actually doing cool stuff.<\/em><\/p>\n Most important, this is the first paper<\/a> I’ll be doing with a coauthor: Jeff Biggus, the mild-mannered secret identity of HyperJeff<\/a> (cue applause!). Jeff will be doing the OpenGL part – something about which I know very little right now – and I’ll be doing the graphic interface part. He’ll also attend the conference to present the paper, as I won’t be able to make it this year.<\/p>\n In other news, RBSplitView<\/a> 1.0.5 is nearly ready for publication. There’s still one feature request and a couple of bugs to take care of, but I hope to have it ready over the weekend. So watch this space…<\/p>\n ADHOC<\/a> MacHack<\/a> Cocoa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, I know, it’s been over two weeks.
