Fixed a memory leak in Flow Cover.

Meh. This one was a nasty little bug. And now its fixed. The problem is that in FlowCoverView, the dealloc routine was resetting the EAGLContext object early. This caused the rest of the dealloc call to fail, which then resulted in the overall view to fail to be released. The fix is to rewrite the [...]

Any survey…

Any marketing survey that requires me to blow the dust off of my Trig (specifically the Law of Sines) is not all bad.

Fuck me! Adobe AIR breaks Xcode signing for iPhone Development.

I installed the latest Adobe AIR installer, v1.5. Turns out Adobe AIR changes your default keychain from login to something else, which then completely breaks all Xcode signing. To resolve this problem, open up Keychain Access, then right-click on the login keychain. Select “Make Keychain ‘login’ default” in the popup menu. Then go back to [...]

The importance of sending a view size changed event on a mobile device.

On Windows Mobile 5 (and I assume the same is true of 6 and 7), the small bar at the bottom which shows the current meaning of the two smart buttons is not a separate chunk of real estate taken away from the rest of the application; instead it is a floating HWND object. It [...]

Blew away woody@pandawave.com

*sigh* I hated to do that. But for some reason or another, thanks to spam scrapers and the like, I was getting so much spam on that e-mail address that I couldn’t sort out the real messages from the Spam. Even thanks to Google’s spam filtering and to Apple Mail’s junk mail filtering I was [...]

During tonight’s iPhone judging contest, one of the projects was one which handles personal information in a way which requires a fair degree of security.

Judging an iPhone Development Contest

This evening I’m going to USC to judge an iPhone development contest being held at USC. It should be interesting–and a lot of fun. Part of my goal is to keep an eye out for good talent we may want to poach, and part of my goal is to judge the applications according to concept, [...]

Why I ordered a Kindle DX within minutes of it being available on the Amazon Web Site

Because I have a whole bunch of technical documents that I’d like to be able to carry around and read on a device that is not my laptop. (And yes, I could have ordered a cheap touch-screen laptop, but I’d also like to be able to order and download books from Amazon as well as [...]

List View Context Menus

This was driving me nuts all weekend, because I became misguided. On Google Android, I want to create a custom list view, and I want to handle context menus. Of course the right way to do this is: (1) In your activity that contains your list, call setOnCreateContextMenu with a class that will be handling [...]
