What life in heaven is like…

These aren’t necessarily theologically correct, and it might be more accurate to say life in the “new heavens and the new earth”, but here it is co-written with annatsang.com:

Garry / animals / pets / furry things
New socks every day
Happy
Really good food but still healthy
Dancing
People will share possessions
Freedom
If people have needs others will give things to them
Peaceful
No neck pain
No periods
Good environment and nature and picturesque scenes
Tasks and jobs satisfying and fulfilling
We have time to see and explore all the different parts of the world
Life is like a good book
Time to learn and study everything about God and about the world
We are wise
We are mature and healthy inside
Not perfect but have tools to deal with things
Not so wounded inside
Garry finds his family (other families are reunited too :-P)
Balance of work and rest and play
People know how to relate
People have genuine relationships and community
One big family
People are who they were always meant to be
People have grace
People have different roles small/big and are happy where they are, it fits them!
People don’t put expectations on others
People are vulnerable and know each other
People feel okay to be themselves
People know God and are close to him and feel loved

Cut & Paste and Tabs in Finder

Just a quick post about things I’m liking right now:

1) Tabs in Finder thanks to Total Finder.

2) Cut & Paste, thanks to Move Addict. Apple say they don’t include this because its a user interface inconsistency compared to cut & paste of text which deletes the text when you cut it. On windows when you cut a file, it only deletes it after you paste. But still I think its a better way to move multiple files than dragging and dropping.

Titanium Autocomplete Eclipse

I’ve been using Accelerator Titanium to create iPhone applications in JavaScript. One thing JavaScript is missing is really good editor with autocompletion / code completion. I recently found Aptana and wanted a way to autocomplete from the Titanium API in that. I’ve created ScriptDoc compatible JavaScript header file that does the job.

Installation
1) Install Aptana standalone or as an eclipse plugin.
2) Download the javascript header file
3) Switch to the Aptana perspective in eclipse
4) Set Aptana as the default javascript editor in preferences
5) Add the timobile.js to the references

Other points of interest:
- You can download the PHP file here that I use to create the JavaScript header file from the Titanium API JSON file.
- I’m working on an Eclipse plugin, you can view the source here.
- If you’re wondering why there are function names like Titanium_UI_Window, these are to act as dummy return types, because Aptana ScriptDoc didn’t allow me to return an Object in a name space like Titanium.UI.Window.
- Mbirth has a JSDoc code completion file here, but Adobe no longer seem to distribute JSEclipse so I’m not sure how it would work in Eclipse.

Must listen to

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about motivation, how to balance not doing things in order to achieve, but realising we don’t always feel like doing those things. This lecture by N.T. Wright is one of the best I’ve heard, and may provide the key for all the thoughts I’ve been thinking.

Two Excellent Podcasts

Recently heard two excellent podcasts, one one free will (Ravi Zacharias) and one on the resurrection of Jesus (Rob Bell). Here’s the article Michael Ramsden mentions when he speaks.

Grrr Apple

I love my mac and my iPhone, but I wish they wouldn’t do things that are bad for the developer and the end user. I know the latest SDK fineprint might be beyond the average user, but I don’t like it, and I think it overall isn’t good to close a system even more.

Found these interesting thoughts about it:
