Like the Phoenix - burned in flames...out of the ashes it is reborn.

This blog is going on a Sabbatical.

Good-bye.

iPad - Amazing Orange Slider App

Not much functionality other than presenting some labels and a slider. When the slider is moved, the field to the right of 'Slider Value:' is populated with the updated value of the slider.

Written in about 1 minute - really.

User Satisfaction

From the Apple HIG:

Because user satisfaction ultimately determines the success or failure of your application, it should be at the heart of your design decisions.

XCode - Code Completion

Code Completion

Code completion offers you an alternative to typing long method names, argument lists, and other symbols. When you’ve entered enough letters for Xcode to make a reasonable guess, you’ll see the suggestion appear as dimmed text. To accept the suggestion, press Tab. To see a list of all possible completions, press the Esc key.

For symbols that include parameters, such as methods, Xcode optionally inserts placeholders for the arguments. To move to the next placeholder, press Control–/.

To disable or enable code completion, use the Automatically Suggest menu in the Code Sense pane of Xcode preferences.

Try it: Let Xcode complete your code.

  1. Anywhere in the Protocol.h file, enter NS then press Esc to see the completion list that Xcode built so far.

  2. In the list that appears, choose any item and press Return. Xcode enters the item you chose.

  3. Delete the entered text so the program will compile.

Pretty nice.

I wonder if they provide a framework to do web development for the iPad?

About to upgrade to version 3.1.2 - Goodbye Tethering

I am just about to update my iPhone 3GS to version 3.1.2 from 3.0.1 (7A400)

The download is 306.2MB!

I have been putting this off for some time as I have become quite fond of the Tethering feature that, apparently, is disabled under 3.1.2.

Oh well...one of the reasons for my upgrading is that I find more and more iPhone apps requiring at least 3.1.

Let's see how it goes.

After upgrading: Version 3.1.2 (7D11)
