Off to WWDC in a few hours. I’ve updated my contact page with my mobile phone number in case anyone wants to get ahold of me directly.
I’m going to try attending most of the events conveniently compiled here by iPhoneDevCamp. Hope to see to see you there.
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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve written an Automator action that allows you to write python scripts directly inside your Automator workflow.
“Run Python Script” Automator action (catchy title) is written using Python and PyObjC (now built-in to Mac OS X 10.5). Apple already provides “Run AppleScript” and “Run Shell Script” actions with Automator which give Automator a high degree of [...]

You’d think that a rather uncommon last name like “Wight” would be a relatively easy name for others to spell correctly. It is uncommon enough that I’ve never met any other Wights outside of “my family“. And yet people seem to have trouble with it. People seem to think that it should be spelled more [...]
Thanks to Matt Gemmell for pointing out that Apple has finally provided a pie chart style NSProgressIndicator for the circular/determinate modes. This style is new to Leopard. This means my Toxic Progress Indicator class can be retired, at least for 10.5+ only applications. Leopard has really helped to retire a lot of my code (for [...]
