Ant build scripts

Today... I'm creating Ant build scripts, that copy in different configuration files for different web environments. The goal is for a client's change management and revision control administrator to do product builds, for each required environment. Depevelopers shouldn't just be passing an EAR file to that person. That person should be able to do a build from the command line.

    Device drivers on OS X

    I just completed a USB driver for a custom device, on Mac OS X. I used IOKit as the low-midlevel USB library, and interfaced to the device in application mode. Transfer speeds are almost exactly what are seen on the Windows driver, around 3 milliseconds per transfer, going through the main control pipe.

    Main development platform:

    • Apple Powerbook G4, 1.25 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
    • OS X 10.4.8
    • XCode 2.4
    • DeveloperTools CD

    The test program went out to our test-group. I'm most curious to see how the driver performs on Intel based Macs. I believe I'll need t

    Backgammon

    For CSC 485 (Object Oriented Design), the final project is design & development of a backgammon game. The design is primilarily in UML and implemented in Java.

    The architecture is MVC, with an example view provided by the instructor.

    My teammate and I are using CVS for source code control, email daily, and weekly phone coordination. This is my second time working remotely with someone that I haven't met before and it is proving to be enjoyable.
