you must be kidding

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc]
initWithDateFormat:@"%1m/%1d/%Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO] autorelease];
NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:118800];

projects that I've been working on lately

Lately it seems that I have a kajallion things going on. At the moment I'm working with and learning several technologies. For instance, I'm currently working on the following projects:

* A VFS in C that uses libcurl and libneon at work

* An iPhone Healthcare app (of course written in Objective C and Cocoa)

* MIPS assembly stuff for my Systems Engineering class

* Some QT stuff

* Some webapps here and there

* I keep thinking of writing a linear algebra system in C++ for my math class...

django now at 1.0

It's old (10 days) news, but still pretty good news. Django is a pretty slick webapp framework, and now after being in development for quite some time it has hit 1.0. To all those who have worked on it over the years - Congrats! -b
