  1. The promo for the CommandGuru event: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
  2. @jordanbreeding I'd get the C++ version of qpid running, then write an ObjC wrapper for it.
  3. Just begged the qpid team http://qpid.apache.org/ to add support for the Mac; nearly all work for Red Hat. Time to roll up my sleeves?
  4. Announcement: Big Nerd Ranch is acquiring Thoughtful Tree Software and hiring Steven Degutis. My closet of ninjas grows ever more powerful!
  5. Fenderbender. Guilty driver fled. I followed. Confrontation. <click/>. Called police. Driver fled again. Police must love camera phones.
  6. Hot or Not for musicians? You can hear 20 seconds of my mad phat piano chops on Riff Raters. (Oh, and we wrote the app.) http://bit.ly/Nb1sp
  7. @nevaneva And expect companion videos shortly after that!
  8. @nevaneva "iPhone Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide" gets better daily. Yes, we are testing it in our classes. Expect the book in Jan.
  9. @rakko78 "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" is fine until 10.7. Other books are coming. Expect an entire section at Borders for BNR guides.
  10. Baaahlast is out. A Big Nerd Ranch iphone game - multiplayer, sheep, artillery, $0.99. http://bit.ly/ytGal Mad props, @joeconwaybnr
  11. At the Voices that Matter Conference, I got interviewed: http://bit.ly/hillegass
  12. Big Nerd Ranch has another iPhone app in store. @silvermana22 wrote Play This Note: http://bit.ly/2M4Y7O (but I did the pitch detection!)
  13. Going to piano lesson. Well, Walden's piano lesson, but at the end his teacher lets me play a song and critiques. "Moon River" tonight.
  14. Arg. They moved the debug setting: Class privateClass; privateClass = NSClassFromString(@"NSSQLCore"); [privateClass setDebugDefault:YES];
  15. @pilky It fetches rows lazily, but fetches the entire row, not one attribute at a time. Try [NSSQLConnection setDebugDefault:YES];
  16. @pilky Archiving allows ordered relationships and easier versioning of data files. sqlite allows you to fetch only the columns you need now.
  17. @robertdwalker The forthcoming iPhone book covers the common data persistence mechanisms: archiving, web services, sqlite, and Core Data.
  18. Writing Core Data chapter for our iPhone book. I think CD is wrong for most mobile apps. (archiving! libsqlite!) But for remaining 3%...
  19. Home from Itzhak Perlman show. I dined with Itzhak and Toby once. A genius, obviously, but also a truly good man. And an iPod Touch user!
  20. Perhaps you thought I was on twitter before? That was someone pretending to be me. I am really me. I had to prove it with a fax. A fax?
