I got a PowerMac G4 at work today. It’s old, sure, but it’s running Tiger and has the latest Xcode, which means I’ll be able to develop the OS X client in parallel (in Python with PyCocoa, I think). I’ll still focus on the web client (which I’ve dubbed Orion, since saying “the web client” all the time is a) boring and b) longer than “Orion”), but once I get far enough along it’ll be nice to work on the Mac client (no name yet) so I can make sure the API is actually usable.

As far as the server (which now needs a name :)) and Orion go, I installed Ruby on Rails today and can start learning the ropes. I’ll be prototyping the interface and will hopefully have most of that done very soon, so I can get some feedback. That’s all for now, folks.
