Loading CoreData model fails in simulator

August 29th, 2010 - Programming - Comments Off

Not finding much to match this error message from Google, I am posting this: I had cause to generate a new version of a CoreData model (xcdatamodel -> xcdatamodeld) and although I was able to happy rely on the automatic model migration when on device, it repeatedly crashed on simulator. The message was: 2010-08-27 16:44:12.566 [...]

Bugs I found during beta/adhoc testing…

March 3rd, 2009 - Programming, Technology, iphone - Comments Off

Here are a some of bugs/things I found after the application had been released to adhoc (beta) users. All good reasons to spend as much time in this phase as possible/neccessary: 1) I failed to ‘retain’ a property that happened to be the one locating the website. It seemed to work at start-up but (for [...]

iPhoneDevCampCO #3

February 23rd, 2009 - Colorado, Programming, iphone - Comments Off

I attended iPhoneDevCampCO #3 on Saturday, and was pleased to see a bunch of new as well as old faces. Joe Pezillo (aka Metafy), Danny Newman, Kendall Gelner, and bunch of other good folk. Many folks were there to learn about iPhone Development, some to learn about iPhone Developer marketing (how to promote one’s app), [...]

iPhone Development for Mac Development Newbies

January 18th, 2009 - Programming, Technology, Work, iphone - 1 Comment

I recently switched to a Mac platform (for pleasure) and started developing on it, and even more recently started iPhone application development. I’d never seen (or heard of) xcode, cocoa, and those things. I’ve found the experience at times trivially easy (e.g. download/run/launch a sample in seconds, then learn from it’s code. Awesome) and sometimes [...]

HackSpace (TechStars, Boulder)

January 16th, 2009 - Colorado, Programming, Technology - 2 Comments

This evening I attended the TechStars first HackSpace. Thanks to the kind folks at TechStars for hosting, and Gnip for feeding. I saw a lot of computers and some studious activity, but wasn’t sure how much coding was achieved. Some corners seemed heads down, but with roughly 50 people in the room the easier opportunity [...]

Amazon AWS S3

October 29th, 2008 - Programming, Technology, mac - Comments Off

I’m tired of WildObs users struggling with (or objecting to) Flickr. WildObs is not a photos site, it is about encounters data (what, where, when & who) but some encounters are just richer with a photo. I followed the Flickr directions, created an “import from Flickr” rails application (I’ll post code if folks are interested) yet [...]

PHP Phorum on Rails restful_authentication database

October 28th, 2008 - Programming - Comments Off

With the help of a friend I created a module to allow an instance of the PHP forum package Phorum to integrate with an instance of the Rails restful_authentication database. Basically it perform authentication against the user table that the restful_authentication plugin produces, and then synchronizes that user record with a Phorum user record allow [...]

Have Google Maps & YM4R stopped cooperating?

October 22nd, 2008 - Programming, Technology - 1 Comment

Today I noticed that WildObs Google maps stopped showing controls, and that informational windows stopped popping. Having spent a couple of hours tinkering (removing this, removing that, questioning everything) & generally pulling my hair out. I am starting to wonder if YM4R and Google are not playing nicely today. I can see the google maps [...]

StackOverflow overflowing

October 18th, 2008 - Programming, Technology - Comments Off

Recently I did a search for “restful_authentication and open id” (looking for if others had done a better job of integrating the two than I had) and came upon “StackOverflow” in the the search results. Having thoroughly respected item #1 on Joel’s StackOverflow introduction,  in short — get answers don’t get rambling discussions — I [...]
