Find out which celebrities are using this one weird trick to create LDEFs that doctors don't want you to know about!

Finally fixing the message list and then a quick overview of building LDEF functions in THINK C for List Manager cell drawing procedure calls, which I'll get into more later

In this episode, I count a bunch of things and then fix an off-by-one error.

In this video, I spend a little time adding a feature, then a lot of time finding a crash.

In this video, I create a new GUI application from scratch, create a resource file and add an image to it, and then display that image in a window. I also cover using THINK C’s debugger to inspect a struct. Then, my Mac dies.

Inspired by @awesomekling@twitter.com, I am going to try recording some videos of my C application development on my old Mac. Here's a quick introduction to System 6, THINK C, and my IMAP client.

Making a thing...

A few new capacitors and the old boy lives to see another day of programming

After programming on my Mac 512k every day for the past month or so, its analog board seems to have died :(

I've been learning the Macintosh Toolbox APIs for System 6 and couldn't figure out why some functions had short names like "DisposDialog" but others "ReallocHandle". Turns out Apple's Pascal compiler made routine names significant to only 8 chars, making long names collide.
