  1. Don't install BB10 for Flash Builder if you have existing PlayBook apps. It breaks the work space and won't let you build to the old SDK.
  2. Screenshot of our upcoming app. The brush for this app is so much fun! twitter.com/chrisjblack/st…
  3. Panoramic photo from taken from the VIP section of #Soundset in the afternoon heat. twitter.com/chrisjblack/st…
  4. Storm coming in over the #Soundset stage last night. A few minutes after this photo, they had everyone evacuate. twitter.com/chrisjblack/st…
  5. Thanks @greensock! GASP is a big step in the right direction for JS. I've been waiting for something like this: greensock.com/v12/
  6. At this rate, my total NOOK app sales will surpass my total iOS app sales by the end of the week!
  7. @JacobBerendes Looks like fun! Don't think I'll be able to join this month but will add it to my calendar for June.
  8. @BlackBerryDev Sounds good, I'll try setting up a new workspace. #BB10 installed to a folder called blackberry-tablet-sdk-3.0.0.
  9. @BlackBerryDev after installing the tablet 3.0 SDK, can we switch back to tablet 2.0 for publishing app updates?
  10. @drewy5 Are you an approved NOOK developer? Start that process early, it takes a while... let me know if you need a beta tester!
  11. @drewy5 Currently have a sales rank of 58 which is pretty good. I'll pass on more data as I get it. When will your app be available?
  12. @drewy5 Wet Paint is rocking in the NOOK store with 182 sales. Turtle Girl had a better iOS launch and is sitting at 20 sales for NOOK.
  13. Any small businesses or start ups looking for some great office space at the corner of University and hwy 280?
  14. How many MN devs would like to test their apps on a BB10 phone? Maybe we can get them to send us some devices. @andrewcharon
  15. @BlackBerryDev You should bring the BlackBerry 10 Jam to the midwest. There is a huge mobile community in the twin cities.
  16. My NOOK Apps are in the market! barnesandnoble.com/c/blacktop-int… @drewy5
  17. @drewy5 That would be awesome! I'd be happy to share stats as I get them.
  18. @drewy5 I have two apps that should be in the NOOK store this week! You should check them out.
  19. @BlackBerryDev deleting all existing work space meta data fixed the problem. Update doesn't play well with existing work spaces.
