Career change! Sigh. |
|||
I haven't been working on Visible. Instead, I've been focusing on projects with the potential to generate some income... and even those haven't been moving forward very quickly. |
|||
Oh, and I bought my wife a [[wp:IMac (Intel-based)|2020 Intel iMac]]... a week before the new [[wp:IMac_(Apple_silicon)|M1 iMacs]] were announced. Sigh. |

It's funny that I own so many Macs, since I consider pre-X Macs to be overpriced toys, but since modern macOS is built on top of a *nix system... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

It should be noted that all [[:Category:REALbasic|REALbasic]] examples that I've written (which can be found by looking through [[Special:Contributions/Eriksiers|my user contributions page]]) were written in REALbasic 5.5.5, which is several years old. (For comparison, this might be considered somewhat akin to writing in [[wp:C99|C99]] instead of the current standard, or writing for the original [[:Category:Visual Basic .NET|VB.Net]] instead of the current release -- my examples will ''probably'' work under modern versions... but they might not. [http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/Y/Your-mileage-may-vary.html YMMV.]) |

On the other hand, I recently installed the current version of [https://www.xojo.com/ Xojo]. Maybe I'll be able to find out what works and what doesn't. |
