Blog.

Lately I've been doing a lot of Processing and it's pretty clear the the Processing IDE doesn't compare to powerful applications like Eclipse. There's an excellent tutorial on processing.org on how to import the core.jar Processing library into your Eclipse Java project. I tried the tutorial, but couldn't figure out how to import the core.jar - because when trying to import the filesystem, I couldn't expand the Processing applications folder. Because OSX treats applications like an encapsulated file, it's not possible to browse into the Processing folder and select the library. In Finder it's possible to right-click and select "Show Package Contents", but you cannot do this from inside the Eclipse dialog. This is how you solve the problem:

1. Select your Applications folder and press "OK"

2. Manually add "/Processing" in the textfield.

3. Click "Browse". Now you will see the package contents of the Processing applications folder

4. Navigate to the core.jar file and import it.

During the last couple of years I have seen myself move in quite a few different directions. In 2009 I found myself updating numerous sites, depending on which of these areas I was working on. For my company I updated my portfolio on these pages. When I did PHP development, most of it was on forums or on my joomla blog. When I recorded new music I started a new website for every project.

In December 2009 I decided to gather all these websites in one, and this is the outcome. Because I'm trying to cover all of my interests in one single blog, it may seem confusing to some, though I hope it's not mostly the case. Some posts will be strickly about code, some will be about my thoughts on graphic design and interaction.

I know there's places on the website that doesn't quite look as they should, but I'm very much caught up in grad. school, but feel free to comment anything you find interesting, wrong or irritating.
