Yes! I loved my Palm Pilot. Got me through late high school and university. I think I went through three of them. (They took a lot of punishment. One got crushed by textbooks, another by a folding lecture hall seat). Would love to pick one up and get back into it though!

While you don't need a rack, you can get one for not that much money. I have something like this in my basement. Should fit an Xserve I think. Totally unnecessary but it does boost my geek cred when people visit ;)

I have had a Blue Bottle subscription for years. I love it but it's pricey and eco-unfriendly (since it's by mail). I wish I had a local roast that I liked as much. There's something about the aroma or flavor (or maybe acidity?) that I just can't find elsewhere. Some day maybe someone who knows...

Is this for a hot air rework station? If so, which model do you have?

Yeah, a lot of us are still here. I think it makes the most sense to post in the thread that corresponds to the chapters you're working on.

There's no menu bar in this simple app. It should exit on a mouse button click. //while ( !Button() ); You have the main event loop commented out. Re-enable that and it should start working.

Ah, now I get it. Yeah "Accept Remote HighLevel Events" needed to be unchecked. That was explained in the book (p152) and I'd totally forgotten that you could click the little icon beside SIZE for a menu. That's what happens when you take a three month break in the middle of a chapter :p...

Hmm… not seeing anything quite like that. I tried to inspect the value of the window pointer in the debugger. I'm always seeing the correct value, but I'm also never seeing the scrolling issue while running that way, so most likely the debugger is interfering somehow. I'm going to poke at this...

I guess because DrawString() doesn't take a port argument and it's just using the port of the last thing I was drawing to – which was the same window.

Some interesting behaviour in the EventTracker code. It generally works, but I'm noticing that the window scrolling doesn't happen for the suspend and resume events, so when I draw a string in those cases, it's drawing over the previous event. Looking at the DrawEventString function: void...

Anyone still around? With the holidays and a few other projects, I've been away for awhile but I'm back now and would like to finish this.

Same here. Killing off 3rd party clients was the last straw for me. Very happy on Mastodon. https://bitbang.social/@pretzelftw

That worked. Thank you! I guess that detail was missing from the book.

With EventTracker, I'm never seeing the keyUp event. I've tried on both 6.0.8 and 7.1. Is that working for anyone else?

In the EventTracker code, the EventInit() function is confusing me. My understanding is that we are using the Gestalt function to check for an operating system feature (Apple Events). err = Gestalt(gestaltAppleEventsAttr, &feature); I'm running 6.0.8, and I'm seeing an error returned from...

My second correction wasn't quite accurate. Where you have the second instance of this line: gLines[i].bottom += gDeltaBottom; …it should be: gLines[i].right += gDeltaRight;

@jenna32bit Check your RecalcLine() implementation. I had some errors there too and it gave odd results. gLines[i].left += gDeltaBottom; …should be gLines[i].left += gDeltaLeft; and gLines[i].right += gDeltaBottom; …should be gLines[i].right += gDeltaRight;

Yep! You called it. That's what it was. I unchecked that box and now it works. Thanks! I'm rather surprised that's the default for new projects. I imagine there were plenty of Macintosh Plus machines still in use in the early nineties.

Well, this is strange. Page 92, at the end of the Randomize function: return ( (randomNumber * range) / kRandomUpperLimit ); This line crashes with an "Illegal instruction" error for me. Apparently you can't multiply a long and a short? This crashes also: main() { long x = 3; short y =...
