Solar Core: November 2008
http://solarcore.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
From the trenches of a small self-funded software venture. Saturday, November 15, 2008. I recently tried my hand at building a game for my two and a half year old son. The idea came to me when at the hospital, and it looked like he might have pneumonia yet again (he's had it several times this year). While sitting with him on the hospital bed, I wanted to keep his mind off all the poking doctors (and to keep him busy), and so downloaded Preschool Adventure. On the iTunes store.

Solar Core: July 2008

From the trenches of a small self-funded software venture. Friday, July 25, 2008. IPhone App Store Experience. It's been two week since Apple released the iPhone App Store. I'm happy to report that my program Save Benjis. Has been there from the start. I'm also very happy that it has stayed in the top 100 free apps, and has had great reviews, both in the store and in the world at large (I post some of these in the lower left of my main page). As of last Wednesday we had over 40,000 downloads. Ok Save Ben...

Solar Core: Teaching Your Kid Computer Programming
http://solarcore.blogspot.com/2015/07/teaching-your-kid-computer-programming.html
From the trenches of a small self-funded software venture. Sunday, July 05, 2015. Teaching Your Kid Computer Programming. My wife and I want our kids to learn programming. We think it's a great skill that everyone should have ( it's also a great career choice. What development environment should I introduce them to? And "How do I structure the teaching? Lesson plans, free-form, something in between). When K-mart filed for bankruptcy in 2002. It wasn't so simple anymore. Computer's don't automatically...

Solar Core: Apple's New Campus - Coming 2015
http://solarcore.blogspot.com/2011/06/apples-new-campus-coming-2015.html
From the trenches of a small self-funded software venture. Wednesday, June 08, 2011. Apple's New Campus - Coming 2015. When I saw the news about Apple's new campus. That looks awesome. The folks that get to work there are going to have the best office space in the world. I also thought that it looked a lot like a giant iPod click wheel. So I couldn't help myself - I had to mock it up in Photoshop. I call it iPod Jumbo. What do you think? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Apples New Campus - Coming 2015.

Solar Core: Tech Rocket vs. Code Academy vs. Khan Academy vs. Tynker vs. Code Studio
http://solarcore.blogspot.com/2015/07/tech-rocket-vs-code-academy-vs-khan.html
From the trenches of a small self-funded software venture. Sunday, July 05, 2015. Tech Rocket vs. Code Academy vs. Khan Academy vs. Tynker vs. Code Studio. We wanted an online programming course for our 9 year old this summer. Because we had done the iD Tech summer camp, Tech Rocket. Seemed like an obvious choice. The price was reasonable ($29 per month) and it had really a lot of variety including: Unity, Python, C , Minecraft modding, and even Photoshop tutorials. It seemed perfect. For my money, I wou...

Solar Core: Boost C++ Threads - MinGW & Mac OS X Universal Binaries
http://solarcore.blogspot.com/2010/10/boost-c-threads-mingw-mac-os-x.html
From the trenches of a small self-funded software venture. Friday, October 15, 2010. Boost C Threads - MinGW and Mac OS X Universal Binaries. I ran across a cool set of C frameworks called Boost. Turns out there are unique problems with the Mac and Windows build, so I will detail them separately. I hope that some of this will help someone else (or help me in the future, if I forget :). You can use man lipo to get an idea of how to use it. After you are done you can use lipo -info. Of a "Stephan T. La...

From the trenches of a small self-funded software venture. Tuesday, October 11, 2005. Multi-Lingual Spell Checking in Crossword Forge. Crossword Forge has had an English spell checker for the last six months. Still I've found that I've wanted it to do more. Since Crossword Forge is a natural fit for foreign language teachers, I've always thought it would be great if it could bring multi-lingual spell checking to its users as well. For example you could add a paragraph to your document while it is complai...
