iPad application Design (sort of a retweet)

Just read this and thought it worthy of a link:

Matt Gemmel talks about application design on the iPad. http://mattgemmell.com/2010/03/05/ipad-application-design

How many rings does it take?

How many rings does it take to get to the juicy voicemail prompt on my iPhone?

Finally found out how to set the delay before calls go to voicemail. AT&T Customer Service had no idea when I called a few weeks back but a random guy with the handle dmapr - a Cell guru - on their web based support forum knew the answer.

Mighty Mouse vs. the KVM

I finally got a Mighty Mouse today. That alone would not be a good enough reason to blog a review since I'm sure there are plenty of people writing about it already. But it happened to coincide with my purchase of a MiniView™ Micro USB PLUS KVM Switch by IOGEAR.

XCode peculiarites -Library can't find file errors

Posted Fri, 07/22/2005 - 8:15am by developer

I noticed this one when upgrading some projects in CPLAT (a nice cross-platform framework) to XCode 2.1 from 1.5. After creating the source tree for CPLAT in the XCode preferences the compiles went well but the link phase gave an error about a missing library. The files seemed to be present and in the target so I tried taking it out of the target to see what would happen. (I was hoping it wasn't even needed.) Instead I got a new error about another library being missing, I think it was expat.
