  1. @geekable How about mailing the chicken to their headquarters? about 7 hours ago from Twitterrific in reply to geekable
  2. Comcast fail. Connection keeps fading in and out. Do I call them? The mind recoils from the thought. about 7 hours ago from Twitterrific
  3. Why do banks have to be so *(@#$ useless? They can show me a pending transaction but can't tell me anything about it, even when I call? BS! about 8 hours ago from Twitterrific
  4. @lgerbarg I was reading articles advocating accessors in init/dealloc years before anyone even thought of @property 3:03 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to lgerbarg
  5. @lgerbarg @threeve Ah, I didn't know that was fixed. Still, the trend was this way before that fix. 1:57 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to lgerbarg
  6. @lgerbarg Except the trend is away from using accessors in initial/dealloc, even though synthesized ivars require it 1:32 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to lgerbarg
  7. @pbur When they start charging $10/month and $3/transfer for a "free" savings account, I recommend jumping ship regardless of your use 12:58 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to pbur
  8. @withdelight Started two days ago in mine 12:58 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to withdelight
  9. Let it be known throughout the land: if BoA buys your bank, close the account immediately. 12:46 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific
  10. @lanechng Rage-induced typo, I guess. They started charging a $10/month maintenance fee, not interest. 12:45 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to lanechng
  11. They want to charge me $3 just to get money out of the account 12:45 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific
  12. BoA bought my Countrywide savings account and has started charging interest to it, then makes me jump through hoops to close it. Jerks! 12:37 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific
  13. @mdhughes Why of course? KVO must be detached by then too 12:33 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to mdhughes
  14. @iamleeg Here's one example: http://j.mp/23hfzo Not sure where others might be 12:07 PM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to iamleeg
  15. @josevazquez Very short: using accessors simplifies memory management, complicates subclassing 11:57 AM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to josevazquez
  16. @jtrainer It gets tiresome trying to tell everyone that they're wrong, but I'll stick that idea on my list 11:55 AM Nov 15th from Twitterrific in reply to jtrainer
  17. It's interesting how the Cocoa world has, over the past few years, flipped from "always use accessors in init/dealloc" to "never use them" 11:49 AM Nov 15th from Twitterrific
  18. Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be - http://bit.ly/o0ae8 4:27 PM Nov 14th from web
  19. @pbur I'd very much be interested in knowing what you think. The money isn't huge in any event, so that angle is more interesting to me 6:59 PM Nov 13th from Twitterrific in reply to pbur
  20. @pbur I started in March. The advance was due on submission of final draft, in May for me. The book was made available in August. 6:54 PM Nov 13th from Twitterrific in reply to pbur
