I want to give a shoutout to the Core Image team at Apple. MacOS 10.14 Mojave was released today, and in the over 10 years I've been developing Acorn, this has got to be the smoothest and most bug free release day for the Core Image framework I've ever seen.
So many thanks. Most folks won't know or care, but this graphics API guy certainly did.
Today we're announcing pre-orders for Linea Go! https://blog.iconfactory.com/2018/09/introducing-linea-go-for-iphone/
On Apple's MacOS Mojave page (https://www.apple.com/macos/mojave/), there's no mention of 10.14 anywhere on the page. I find that interesting, and I can't remember if this was the same for previous OS releases.
ShapeOf: Writing a New JavaScript to Cocoa Bridge

ShapeOf: I’ve been working on new JavaScript to C/Cocoa bridge lately, for fun and education. And I made an interesting discovery today- NSNumber stores shorts and unsigned chars the same. Is this a bug in NSNumber?

My guitar amp (original Fender Blues Deluxe) is broke. I'm bummed. I'm sure it can be repaired but I've been playing it for almost 25 years and I miss its sound already.
I guess I get to mess around with digital audio again (via my old Line6 UX2). And since it's so easy to make recordings with it, here's a little bluesy afternoon noodling: https://flyingmeat.s3.amazonaws.com/audio/oh_god_my_amp_broke_ugh.m4a
Programmer at Flying Meat. I wrote Acorn, Retrobatch, VoodooPad, FlySketch, FMDB, CocoaScript. Probably more.
