= Planned Features =

'''Bug cleanup'''


= Feb 2 =

* Experimented with Songbird for Mac as a working comparison of a XUL Runner build with dylibs
* Replaced the old and fishy XR framework with the one from Songbird
** Portable Canvas now recognizes canvas elements, and doesn't tell you to get the c3d extension!
** Unfortunately, it simply gives you a blue outline of the canvas element, rather than display 3d

(3 hours)


= Jan 26 =
* Advanced XULRunner for Macs (mostly details about Info.plist)
** http://www.mactipsandtricks.com/articles/Wiley_HT_appBundles2.lasso


= Jan 22 =

* installed RealVNC (free edition) with hextile encoding instead of the default zrle
* configuring remote desktop remotely on a mac:
** http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370


= Jan 19 =

* visited #seneca, received an empowering speech from armenzg
* got a handy link from Cathy! (use broader search terms)
* https://developer.mozilla.org/En/XULRunner/Creating_custom_app_bundles_for_Mac_OS_X
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/File_I%2f%2fO
* grabbed libcanvas3d.dylib from canvas3d.xpi (just like libcanvas3d.dll for the Windows side)
* sticking the dylib into PC.app/Contents/MacOS/ doesn't work
* sticking the dylib into PC.app/Contents/MacOS/components doesn't work
* sticking the dylib into PC.app/Contents/Resources/components doesn't work
* (learning xulrunner for Mac is nothing like learning xulrunner for Windows...)


= Jan 16 =

===Progress===

* Stuck the dylib into the Mac version of Portable Canvas, with no avail!


===Next Steps===

* Try VNC and remote desktop to access the Mac from home
* Attempt to find help on irc with prolonged access to a Mac
