Am I just used to Freeview clarity, or does Sky have some INSANE compression on Sport2? Rugby and warriors are barely watchable.

@matthewbuchanan OMFG. TR2N. I was dubious but that off-angle bootleg looks awesome.
Yay power is back on! For good this time (or at least for the last 10 minutes)
@cranz I've heard no raving reviews about 2.1. To bring it out so quick after 2.0 must mean they've been working on it for a while.
Seriously folks, firmware 2.0 on a 1st gen iPhone is a turd isn't it? Almost as bad as WimMo
power just came back and then shut down again twice in a row.
Power is out in Te Atatu. Also just had to chop down 2 small trees that had blown onto the house.
Police update: Urgent Media Release: There have been reports about the evacuation of Whangaparaoa. There is NO Evacuation of Whanagaparaoa.
Check out the awesome barometer plunge here: http://destin.co.nz/weather/ (pink line, top graph)
@br3nda No I'm talking about the UIView from the FUCKING NDA
aha! NSData's initWithContentsOfUrl, then UIImage's initWithData. Much easier than what I was attempting.
Am I dumb, or is there no simple way to load an image from a URL into a UIView (NOT a UIWebView)?
The metservice.co.nz (which is impossible to use at the best of times) appears to be failing under the stormwatcher load.
I love soldering. I'm only soldering model train track, but any soldering is better than no soldering at all right?
Storm is heating up. Check out the trend lines in wind and rainfall here: http://destin.co.nz/weather/
@wisequark Truly bricks or just disables the jailbreak causing you to roll back to 2.0?
@wasabicube I can't hear anything yet, although the forecast charts at metvuw.com look awesome.
My balls now bounce. I think I have issues with friction however.
OK, I think my balls need to be velocity driven rather than animation driven. I'll keep track of velocity then draw them in the loop.
I'm thinking of giving my balls different weight for extra excitement, but flu is making my brain not work.
