So I've been working sideways a bit the last few days to get openair working on my new mac (my girlfriend actually prefers the Linux and doesn't want me spending all day coding on it. How cool is that!!?). Openair (and all its dependancies) actually didn't take much effort. Most of the time was spent getting emacs setup the way I like it (and getting used to the MAC keyboard).
I'm still working on that hello world. I think I've got the ajax side working but that's highlighted the fact that the updates slot isn't working correctly.
