Spec-Driven AI Development

You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.

Blog back home

I've moved my blog and photoblog back home. A few of my other sites might follow. I'm hoping to have them better integrated so. At the moment people will come up to me and say 'I saw your home page!' and I'll ask them which one. Not a good place to be. I've been planning an integrated solution for a year without really having had the time for it, but having it back home might actually do some good for those plans. :-)

Silicon Image 3132 and Leopard

ZDNet posts that you should beware of using Silcion Image's 3132 chipset that's used for so many noname eSATA ExpressCards (and the one I have) with Leopard. I have had little success using this with Tiger as it seems incompatible with my enclosure (might as well be the other way around, though)

Interface Builder 3 demo

Having read here and there about how to work with Interface Builder 3 that does not have the "Classes" page like IB2, I've found that the following YouTube video shows it way better in 3 minutes than what I had spent hours reading:

What\'s up with Airtunes?

Airtunes is/was Apple's way of putting music in other rooms. It came with the Airport Express, but when the Airport Extreme was updated, Airtunes was nowhere to be found. Worse, Airtunes can only be streamed to one target?!? Now that Apple has released yet two new WiFi audio products, the iPod touch and the iPhone, why does they not include Airtunes capabilities? They should be able to both stream music and have music streamed to them! Apple, where is Airtunes heading? I still want the same music in every room of my apartment.

No Airtunes update

Tuesday's Apple announcement held many goodies, but Apple seems to be going nowhere on Airtunes. Airport Extreme had been updated, but no Audio Out. And with my Airport Express, I cannot simply add more Airport Expresses to play the same set of music in every room of my house: Because iTunes and the Express use Apple Lossless compression to encode music (rather than native MP3 or AAC), you can stream audio to only one unit at a time (source). Dear Apple, wouldn't you make a nice little plug-this-adapter-in-the-wall-and-get-audio-out Airtunes device that I can put in every room of my house with a stereo, and throw in a remote control or two in the package?
