Title: Woohoo!
Post by: Darmakwolf on 2011-Feb-02
I just got a Mac Mini and an iPod Touch (current generation) for free and they're being shipped to me. I have registered and have been approved to be an iOS developer through Apple. Can't wait to get started  =D

That's cool but the way you've written that sounds like Apple are giving them away.

Cool. :)

How did you manage to get them for free though?

LOL! No, the hardware was bought for me by a very good friend. I wouldn't have been able to develop iPhone/iPod application without it. I'm very grateful.

Can I borrow your friend? I won't be able to drive a Ferrari without him/her. :P

I hope you treat your friend well when you become a software billionaire :)

I sure need more friends like that! :D
One of mine is up to borrowing me his mini mac with f**** up dvd drive...
I just have to figure out how to install system from pen drive or intranet.

Anyway, what I really need these days are friends with swimming pools....
It's melting in brazil.

wish you best luck with your plan!

An iced over swimming pool would be nice here -- we could go lie on it and cool down. :P

The tropical storm is over now and it's a little wet but fine now. There were literally street swimming pools all over even in the city.

I think I'm living in the only place in the world right now that isn't experiencing weather extremes. I'm just watching a lot of the world news thinking "holy ****!"

I've been feeling the same... and asking myself: when will be our turn? and what kind of sh!t will hit my place?

P.S. little bit of trivia:
There was supposed to be the fourth Mad Max movie made in Australia just about these days.
You know, the post-apocalyptic movie about crazy people in crazy cars in desolated deserts.
Well, the filming was postponed indefinitely, since the whole southern Australian desert has turned into flowery green pastures because of El Nina!  :S

Everything finally shipped and arrived. Mac mini unibody aluminum is an amazing little desktop! Installed Parallels and am using GLBasic in Coherence mode. It's perfect! Got all the provisions set up, and I've linked a shared folder to easily open Xcode projects from glbasic and can compile in seconds. Loving it! =)
