I’m at iPhoneDevCamp and am entering all three of my TouchCode libaries (TouchJSON, TouchXML and TouchSQL) into the development contest.

This is a great chance for consumers of these three libraries to show their appreciation by voting for them on iUseThis.com. Please go to the tag page iUseThis.com and mark the libraries you use (or plan [...]

Online friend Seth Dillingham this weekend is “riding across the state of Massachusetts in the PMC, along with about 5500 other riders. Riding the bike for 300 miles is the easy part. The real challenge is meeting my $10,000 goal for this cancer-care-and-treatment charity.”

I don’t need to say too much about the iPhone and the newly released SDK. I have however created a Google source code repository for iPhone/Cocoa Touch related projects.

So far I’ve added three projects to the repository:

TouchXML: A Foundation NSXML style API for parsing XML files (based on libxml2) TouchSQL: Yet another library for talking to [...]

It was just your typical InterfaceBuilder 3 window…

with your vanilla NSImageView…

referring to an image file within an Xcode project…

Holy Cow! An Acorn file? Does that mean I can use Acorn files directly in Interface Builder 3? Does that mean you’ve written an NSCustomImageRep that understands the Acorn file format? Does that mean I can use [...]

I’ve taken the plunge and am in the middle of switching from Subversion to Mercurial for revision control. Subversion has served me relatively faithfully for many years (I’ve even championed/led the adoption of subversion at two companies I’ve worked for in the past) but some of the warts and shortcomings were beginning to annoy me [...]
