Recently, I've been learning to love cocoa. Apple has gotten all sorts of things right, from Interface Builder, through to core bindings. Much like my python page, I'm going to try cataloguing a few bits and pieces here.

CKAddressBook - ABAddressBook isn't terribly useful from inside of Interface Builder. The problem is that fields are not defined in ABPerson, making use with an NSArrayController rather difficult at best. CKAddressBook is designed to make using the AddressBook in Interface Builder (outside of the PeopleChooser), a simple proposition. This is in no way complete (or even error checked), rather it's just a step forward on the AddressBook train.

rdesktop - While not a cocoa app, I compiled rdesktop for OSX, on Intel. Try using rdesktop instead of Remote Desktop Connection. Simply untar the tarball to /stow/stow/rdesktop-1.5.0.
