  1. @leehord I'm looking into open sourcing it. I want the app to live on, but the new sandbox requirements in the app store don't work with it.
  2. Just fropped Locations price to Free. I'll try to get another version in before sandboxing, but I can't charge for a product with no future.
  3. @mattgemmell Don't forget 'Apple won't let me delete'.
  4. @mattgemmell Do you carry an external keyboard for the iPad?
  5. A saturday afternoon with no obligations and no contract work in queue? I guess I'll just have to work on my own apps for once. #soExcited
  6. Other devs: your opinions on Trello for project management?
  7. "Use of undeclared identifier 'fill'; did you mean 'kill'?" – Xcode Autocomplete, sometimes you freak me out.
  8. @tapisdevdiary I decided there was really only one sane way to test the new iPad displays properly. Also, shiny things are shiny.
  9. At least 20% of the skill required to be a good iOS developer is having a solid understanding of curse words.
  10. Right, it's a document window thing. Oh well.
  11. Alright guys, that whole 'Lion windows zoom when they open' thing. I'm not seeing it anymore. Did Apple remove it?
  12. @mattgemmell Reeder. Check out the Mac version too.
  13. @mattgemmell Colour lights use colour and position (and sometimes shape) to indicate state. The hourglass wouldn't work for the colourblind.
  14. @uliwitness setCallBack: takes a BOOL. setCallback: would take a selector.
  15. Whoops, had to set the content type. Reference: stackoverflow.com/questions/3469…
  16. Does anyone know if NSMutableURLRequest is still not including the body when the method is HTTP PUT? Some doc more recent than 2004.
  17. @vtim @at0mat Thanks!
  18. When you're writing that 'did you push your changes' email is an excellent time to check that you pulled.
  19. “@at0mat: @bobsdevdiary in a few minutes you say? Unbelievable. Side note, you know what happened to FileMerge under Xcode via AppStore?”
