I’ve been thinking a lot about infinite streams lately. I haven’t spent any time whatsoever on this concept since I was a freshman in college taking Structure of Computer Programs 1, aka Scheme 101, aka the badass Comp Sci weeder course from hell....
I didn’t work on iRooster at all today, but I spent 30 minutes on the Update Manager I have planned. I’ve decided that it’ll be easier than trying to email all of my registered users every time a new major update comes out, and far more polite too...
