First 75 days of Wii Transfer: “In the tradition of other independent Mac developers such as Mike Zornek, Daniel Jalkut, and Gus Mueller, I’m going to share some sales information from the first 75 days of Wii Transfer.”

Well done Manton, I can only hope that my first product will do as well as yours!
I’ve done something stupid (again!). I recently read a great article on avoiding the use of the float data type in financial applications. I said I’d forward the article on to a friend, but I can’t seem to find it. Does anybody know the article I mean? All help appreciated. Cheers!
[Update] I’ve found the article I meant. It was over at allocinit.net. I found it in a slightly unusual way however, that may be of use to others. I found the site to which it linked, and then used Google to search for sites that linked to the paper using the link: prefix. Lo and behold the site I was looking for was in the first couple of hits 
I’d just like to let everyone know that I’m still here! I’ve been snowed under with my dissertation, which has been moving along quite nicely. The cluster scheduling simulator is up 11,000 lines of code making it by far the largest piece of software I’ve written single handedly.
On the cocoa front, I’ve been working on a super-cool top secret application which I hope will be finished shortly. I’m finding switching between java and cocoa is getting easier, but it still takes me a couple of hours to really get in the zone!
I’ve also been writing a couple of cocoa tutorials, which I hope to release here shortly. I’ve been working on a tutorial for shell script Automator actions and also some notes on my experiences of creating importers for spotlight. If any body has suggestions for further tutorials let me know. I’m planning to focus on aspects I find/found hard (of which there are many).
