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 many [...]
How to install Adhoc (Beta) iPhone Applications via iTunes on Microsoft Windows.
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 [...]
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 was [...]
I went to iPhone Dev Camp in Boulder yesterday.
I’d not been to anything like this before, and I really didn’t know what to expect. I was apprehensive and concerned that I was way too much of a Mac newbie (let alone iPhone newbie) to be able to keep up, and that I had no right [...]
As an operator of a user generated content site I’d like to warn my family/friends/users and others to what I suspect is a big, and likely growing, security problem. Not every username/password system is as secure as the big ones you are used to (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc.) so do NOT re-use your ”usual [...]
I wrote http://wildobs.com with support for numerous Atom feeds (e.g. http://wildobs.com/adam_jack.atom) because they just make sense; folks can query into a database for things that interest them, and access the information when they want it. Customized notifications w/o the interruptions.
Funny thing is … I know of so few people who actually read feeds. Even techies, many just [...]
In this techie world where last year is just so last decade I finally looked for and found that Google Advanced search can be page age aware. When looking for some code (even documentation) for something it is great to exclude older references. Great not to find JavaScript for Netscape 3 when I need it [...]
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 [...]
I still hear marketeer type folks saying “go to blogs and post a comment, linking back to your site”. You’ll get traffic and improve your SEO. Anybody with a half-way-modern blogging package has implemented that urls in comments get hypertexted with rel=”nofollow” which zaps any SEO value.
I don’t know wether to mention this to all the folks manually trying [...]
