*sigh* I just found out I will miss out on Cherry Blossom season in Japan this year :(
I’ve come to the conclusion that photoshopping user interfaces to perfection before writing a single line of code is way to develop
RingtoneExpress update launched!
Hooray a new version of one of my hobby apps - RingtoneExpress - just went live with a shiny new website too go with it. Fly! Be free!
Damn you Apple
Damn you Apple. Damn you and your seductive products, your new store openings and your new pricing. I tried to resist your new 27 inches of power but resistance was futile. And damn your clapping “walk of shame” as I left the store carrying it’s half a tonne box.
Aww who am I kidding I love it :)
So welcome, “whiplash”, the oversized iMac to my family.. You irresistable thing you.

Crap developer tools? There’s an app for that: XCODE
While I’m on the topic of mac, XCode and Interface Builder are absolute shit. Reminds me of the nightmare that was Sybase PowerBuilder 6.5/7 on PC.
Time Machine + Airport Extreme + External drive = works
There’s nothing like the near loss of a program’s source code to scare you into reviewing your backup solution. A few months back, I virtualized one of my dev PC’s to free up some hardware. Without realizing it, this compromised the machines backup procedure (drive to drive backups). This is pretty useless when you corrupt the VM image as I did - all the backups are inside of it.
Thankfully I was able to get the VM back online but it sure motivated me to review the my backup routines. Turns out setting up a single mac+pc solution was easier than I expected.
