  • 08:19 Bah! USB on my machine has got a severe attack of forgetful of devices. That'd explain the random wakeup last night.... Sigh #
  • 09:35 @mattgemmell That's for small values of "fun"... I prefer the word "challenging" #
  • 14:22 For some reason, I am off the wall stress wise today.... #
  • 14:50 Finishes copying off loudtwitters into a twitter only blog. #
  • 19:40 Joy! Finally the SDK that we dare not speak it's name has got updated documentation! #
  • 19:45 Ah... spoke too soon. It just downloads something which has the delta document. Ah well, plenty of things to do anyway. #

  • 08:55 Changing clocks.... not many to do these days. #
  • 09:03 Terminal 5 displays "Enquire Airline" instead of "Cancelled". Welcome to the world of customer misinformation as policy. #
  • 13:35 @mattgemmell Parallels for XP, Fusion for Vista, BootCamp for shame :) #
  • 13:43 @mattgemmell Check out www.virtualbox.org/ which is a free VM option #
  • 14:18 @mattgemmell Parallels and Fusion both allow for that, VirtualBox afaik, doesn't. #
  • 15:04 thinking really hard about what screenies to make for a Grails article... #

Oh Arse....

In the process of pushing all the old twitter archives over, Blogger has been silently dropping the LoudTwitter posts. So there will be a brief pause. while I ... swear a bit.

  • 09:18 Falls off static bike for the day.... new day, new SDK, new "How the hell does that work".... #
  • 09:23 Bah, unable to download the updated docs for the <coughcough> SDK... #
  • 09:35 Anyone else having trouble getting at the updated 74MB of docs in the enohPi KDS* #
  • 10:12 Well, this is a pain... no docs downloaded makes migrating code mighty head hurty. #
  • 10:12 Decides to relax a bit and just wait for the docs to come back... #
  • 10:28 Gets his code to build again.... phew... :) #
  • 13:50 Ok, now I'm getting irritated by the inability of the Docs viewer to download the updated doc set. Grrr.... #
  • 14:25 Is it just me or is the enohPi KDS doc set just not downloading.... #
  • 15:47 Arse. Turns out I'm getting "Access Denied" to the new documentation. Sends mail. Doesn't expect rapid response. #
  • 16:12 @mattgemmell Are you implementing Terminal 5 2.0 then? :) #
  • 16:16 Is quite pleased to have made it simple for people to identify him online; I'm codepope everywhere.... #
  • 16:23 Why was the Macbook Air hacked first at CanSecWest? Because nobody wanted a Vista or Ubuntu laptop. >boom-tish< #
  • 16:37 @hypocrisy Everything is vulnerable, it's all down to incentive and admit it, a MacBook Air is pretty damn incentivising :) #
  • 16:41 @hypocrisy You are assuming that they were notified in advance. If a patch was already out, the hack wouldn't have worked. == No Win. #
  • 16:48 @hypocrisy They may be serious, but that doesn't mean they didn't want to win the competition. It's why I think Attackfests are a bad idea. #
  • 16:55 @hypocrisy Er, $10K and the reputation of being the fastest cracker of a system is worth plenty in security terms. #
  • 17:03 @hypocrisy Anyway, till we know the facts and until the patch is out the only people who know are ZDI and Charlie Miller and Apple (now) #
  • 17:27 Sheer audacity +20 - xrl.us/bii2k (Link to news.bbc.co.uk) #
  • 17:34 @hypocrisy Read the rules of the competition - xrl.us/bii2x - No previous disclosure, only via ZDI (otherwise it ain't 0-day) #
  • 17:55 @hypocrisy "Any discussion of the bug prior to the public disclosure of a ZDI advisory will result in forfeiting of the prize." - the rules #
  • 18:03 @hypocrisy It doesn't say "public disclosure", it says "discussion", which is far more all encompassing. #
  • 18:42 Sigh. Packing in for the day. With no docs and an updated SDK it's somewhat frustrating. #

  • 09:41 Yay, the 2408 has arrived... monitor setup fun later :) #
  • 14:15 @sbisson I think the idea is that they knock the kinks out before day 0... who designed it? programmers? :D #
  • 15:34 @DericHorn Is it? How can you tell? #
  • 16:16 Trying to figure out the censored word in @chockenberry 's "How do you make the iPod touch beep? rdar://problem/5825214" :) #
  • 16:19 @chockenberry And for most people, the simulator is visually way bigger too. (says me who realised he'd over packed a tableviewcell) #
  • 16:28 Holds iPhone next to Aspen simulator and reworks Father Ted's "One of these is far away from running your code and one of these is close..." #
  • 16:35 I wonder if there's no Apple sanctioned SDK discussion forum to keep Apple's SDL comms legally clean and one way. #
  • 16:43 @mattgemmell I avoid (3) by typing @sy[Ctrl-.] ... #
  • 17:38 Oooh... Interface Builder. Tries to use mind control to make download go faster... Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn #
  • 17:41 I'd say something about how much slimmer a certain SDK is now... but it's probably a secret #
  • 17:55 Microsoft Surface gets a 2011 consumer promise date - xrl.us/bihax .... #
  • 17:56 [Stewie] So Microsoft, working on your Surface eh? Hows that coming along? Got some initial installs? Got a compelling experience eh? #
  • 21:01 Plays with Interface Builder, gets a bit confused.... I think I'll be coding my interfaces by hand for a little while :) #
  • 21:25 @tug It's very nice; so much brighter than the 2405 next to it. Tomorrow, a long HDMI cable and it goes in as main monitor. #
  • 21:34 @tug It's the HDMI and dual DVI which sold me. With it at £422 at Dell it was irresistable. #

  • 07:40 So, how long before a Twitter client which uses Quotably to fill in and thread? #
  • 11:27 Right... been avoiding it, but I'm just going to have to write a couple of datasources now I'm working with PickerViews. I hate datasources. #
  • 13:44 Grrr.... when a courier roborings and sets a delivery date and time, you expect them to keep to it.... Grrrr #
  • 14:25 Boooo No Monitor today... back to the code thing I guess. #

  • 08:48 Good article on why no background processes in the iPhone SDK... with actual *EXPERIENCE* - xrl.us/bhse6 #
  • 15:46 @gruber It's all ok unless your pen goes floppy :D #
  • 16:26 Ventures into the AddressBook in a certain SDK. My, thats not exactly overly documented. Puts that item on the back burner. #
  • 17:08 Damn, I hope they get Interface Builder into a later beta. It feels more like I'm back doing Motif/Xt on X11... flashbacks #
  • 21:44 Dammit Apple, put the new Airport Express in the UK store! #

  • 16:56 @danielpunkass You are assuming of course that 100,000 downloads = 100,000 apps... I think more like 2000 apps. There's a lot of curiousity #
  • 17:12 Is wondering if there's anywhere sensible to talk iPhone SDK with devs... #
  • 17:39 @Akula But it has to be tried.... I like how the ketchup takes top billing :) #
  • 18:04 @Akula I think the rule of thumb is >0 embedded graphics = annoying :) #
