The Eaton Centre was on fire today, so I went there to eat at lunch. Of course, I met iangurudata there, where we discussed toilets and fencing. I had to tell him I was just fine with my sausage. Then I went back to the office, and my compiler told me this:

xplc/uuidgen.cpp:36: error: invalid static_cast from type `unsigned char[16]' to type `unsigned char[16]'

I didn't think it would be so hard.

I only tried working with Macs once, that was like 12 years ago or something, back then it was like win3.1, no preemptive tasking and I fled, never wanted to touch a mac again, so I have no clue about anything regarding macs.

Yeah, Mac OS 9 and less were insane that way! But Mac OS X is quite nice, being actually a rebranded NeXTstep, an operating system written by the company Steve Jobs started out of spite when he was booted from Apple. It's based on a Mach microkernel with a BSD Unix environment, but the display isn't based on X like on other Unix, it's its own stuff that's way better. Doom was written on that. :-)

As I like to say, Apple's new and innovative OS was an OS from 15 years ago, but it's okay, as it was 20 years in advance on it's time. ;-)
