I’m basically finished the Hacker News app, but in order to test it on my phone, I need to get Snow Leopard, which costs $29.99. Okay then. I don’t want to order it from the Apple site, because then I’d have to pay for shipping. There’s an Apple store within driving distance, so I could get it there. But I don’t have a car. So I think I’m going to finally get a car, instead of being incapable of going places.
I got my first instance where an HTML change caused my fragile code to fail to parse. I’ve reimplemented my code so that it doesn’t wait for unnecessary milestones that it could gracefully skip. If the way in which the milestones get recognized changes, then certain features of the reader regarding styling or voting would be lost, until the app got updated. This is better than complete immediate failure.
Also, I got word break insertion going.
