Progress (Jan)

I've just come back from another jaunt to the US on business (not in the Alfred Bester kind of way but traditionally on a British Airways 747). Just before I left I took delivery of a shiny new MacBook 2.4Ghz that replaces my now, very ill, iBook. This meant I could start developing again.

While I was in the US I had little time between work and socialising but I did get to set up the iPhone and Android dev kits on the new machine and play with some UI concepts. I also started writing some test code in Java to test the RPC mechanism to Coppermine. This code has turned in to the JSON-RPC and Session classes that will be used in the Android version of the client app. I will also release that code as open source so that anyone can write Java clients for Coppermine.

I will use the same design when I implement that mechanism in Objective-C. This will be used in the iPhone client. I have also downloaded the iPhoto extension SDK so I think I'll release an iPhoto export extension that will allow you to export directly from iPhoto in to Coppermine.

Lots for me to do.
