Had to upgrade to Eclipse 3.4.1 to to get the SDK working. No big deal.
Hello World is now running. The emulator took a while to start up.
“Warning once: This application, or a library it uses, is using NSQuickDrawView, which has been deprecated. Apps should cease use of QuickDraw and move to Quartz.” Oh well, it’s just an emulator. No big deal.

I finished 2008 with 156 BGBY species, well behind the 200+ Neil Gilbert racked up in the same county, and he’s not as well situated as I am. In my defense I didn’t start until February, and was also dealing with a move to a new state. I didn’t even get my bike repaired from damage the movers did to it until April, and I lost a couple of weeks in the middle of Spring migration on a trip to China. With some effort, this year I might be able to crack 200.
However doing that is going to take some work. In particular:
