Ipad review after day one

OVerall there are slight problems but it's features make up for them


Typing is much more difficult than a laptop or even a blackberry for that matter. Holding the internet in your hand is they way it's supposed to be. Reading books on an eink screen is nicer on the eyes but the iPad is still acceptable. Watching Ted.com is great. Reading technical papers is good. The speed of the software is amazing.

Smegol says "It's my birthday, and I wants it"

I bought myself an iPad today. Cause I wanted one.

I want a larger screen book reader for technical papers (http://www.3gpp2.org). I'll give you a review later on.

CodeAssistor on Windows : Alpha Release

Super Dooper Alpha release for windows

http://launchpad.net/codeassistor/v0-0-3/v0-0-3/+download/superAlphaWindowsCodeAssistor.zip

Find/Colouring/Goto all the stuff that mac has... but there are bugs
eg
- cannot wrap backwards on find

Im sure there is more, I didn't test very thoroughly, but its bedtime and I'd like to have this available to download on other machines for testing tomorrow morning.

Find: codeassistor on windows

I have to implement a "Find" dialog for windows. The popup-edit box method I use in mac doesn't work so well because Scintilla takes over from my search-edit box whenever I click the search edit box (the search-edit box is inside the bounds of the scintilla editor).

Im going to have to implement find dialogs anyway, so that there is some better control over find... but yeah, I had to do it for windows right from the get-go.

Anyways, basic find is completed for windows, though there are bugs, you can at least find stuff with it.

Next step is the line-goto dialog.

CodeAssistor on Windows coming along nicely

Folding/colourizing/etc all major features that the Mac version supports are supported in windows now with the exception of

- shortcut keys
- find/linegoto.

Here is a screeny of Windows and Mac side by side.

CodeAssistor on Windows

CodeAssistor can now open files on windows... looks ugly as sin, but hey... thats windows for you.

CodeAssistor work on Windows

I've done some initial work (read VERY initial) for a windows port of codeassistor.

I've only got an editor window open now (no loading/saving/etc, no colourizing). Most of the work was on the makefile to get the project ready for development.
