@wattzilla Glad you made it, I got 3 hrs left before I hit NY. about 1 hour ago from Tweetie in reply to wattzilla
@mattejames No no, @ppk's rant is what I'm referring to wherein he calls all iPhone devs idiots. about 1 hour ago from Tweetie in reply to mattejames
@kyleridolfo Haha, great point. about 3 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to kyleridolfo
How can someone rant about iPhone apps vs web apps when they've never written code for the iPhone and know nothing about the frameworks? about 4 hours ago from Tweetie
@KuraFire Totally agree. UX is not "eye candy". Speed & fluidity are paramount. The most polished iPhone apps would fail on the web. about 4 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to KuraFire
@ppk You're still missing the gigantic advantage of native apps: the outstanding CocoaTouch API. Also, quality UX != eye candy. Argh. about 4 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to ppk
@DreadedKilla It does that now if you're anywhere in the timeline except all the way at the top, but yeah, it'll be a preference. about 6 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to DreadedKilla
@KyleBolton Yup already fixed in new version :) Finally! about 9 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to KyleBolton
And I should mention Beak sucks at the scrolling test too which is why I rewrote it all and am working on the 1.0 version. about 9 hours ago from Tweetie
@teezeh Using new code base is around 30%, old (current) depends on how many tweets in timeline so could be up to 60%. about 9 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to teezeh
@gedeon All 0. Nobody continuously scrubs through the scroll view under normal usage, it's an extreme test :) about 9 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to gedeon
@jakrose Rockland County just north of NYC. 8hrs no traffic :) about 9 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to jakrose
Time to drive up to NY from Raleigh. Hope the roads aren't bad. about 9 hours ago from web
Also interesting: while scrolling through timeline CPU usage peaks at 55% in Echofon. Tweetie's is 25%. Twitterrific is 90%. (27" iMac C2D.) about 9 hours ago from web
@jakemarsh Yeah, no clue. I classdumped the app and they wrote A LOT of code to get link hovers to work within an NSTableView. TONS o' code. about 9 hours ago from web in reply to jakemarsh
Echofon for Mac is interesting. They wrote all custom code for the timeline views/cells but still left it looking boring. Hmm. about 10 hours ago from web
Totally ridiculous Bioshock Big Daddy costume for sale on eBay. Looks perfect & includes a working drill: http://idek.net/hJE about 10 hours ago from web
@braker1nine Yeah, some type of popup where you chose API-based RT or non-API which would let you type in some editorial. Good idea :) about 12 hours ago from web in reply to braker1nine
@danberte No clue, I sure as hell don't use it. I use Google to find information, not browse sites in some abstract Bing-like way :) about 12 hours ago from web in reply to danberte
