iPhone cool

3 Apr
2010

I picked up an iPhone 3GS over the summer and absolutely love it. Of course, I have nothing to compare it to other than the iPhone 3G or previously a basic cell phone that I have had all these years, so don’t think of this as a recommendation to purchase one.

The developer in me wants to learn how to develop iPhone Applications for it, but I know nothing about Cocoa, Xcode, Interface Builder, Objective-C, and the iPhone SDK other than I have the tools on my MacBook Pro.

I also suspect it will be way different that using Visual Studio 2008 and C#, so I am not sure how productive it would be for me to just start playing with the tools and banging on the keyboard. Alright, I admit I have already been doing that :-) However, I have started looking for various iPhone Development Resources, such as iPhone Development Books and Courses.

I came across a set of iPhone Development Screencasts, called Writing Your First iPhone Application, on the Pragmatic Programmers site with each screencast costing $5. You can get the whole development series for whats looks to be about $25.

There is a free screencast preview of the series as well as a link to a free movie, entitled Getting Started with Xcode and Interface Builder.

If you are interested in developing iPhone Applications, it may be worth a look. I haven’t purchased the screencasts, but it certainly looks like a good possible first step to see if you are interested in iPhone Development before you throw a chunk of change on iPhone Development Training.

If you would prefer to purchase a book on iPhone Development, many of the books are still pending to be printed, but I did notice one book available with pretty decent reviews:

Little Coffee Shop with Special Waitresses

30 Mar
2010

In Tokyo, a company launched a new coffee shop that has transformed their waitresses to ‘maids’. However, as hard as it may be to believe all of these are male waiters but some of them look very feminine. If you think of visiting this place somehow, be careful ;-) Read the rest of this entry »

Meg Griffin is Perhaps the Most Accurate Cartoon to Ever Come to Life

28 Mar
2010

This is the best real-life interpretation of Family Guy I’ve ever seen. I could possibly see someone dressing up as Chris and Lois, but Stewie? Any baby with a head that shape should probably just be put down after birth.

As for Brian? If your dog is an alcoholic and talks to you, I think YOU’RE probably the one with issues.

I wonder if her voice sounds like Mila Kunis? Read the rest of this entry »

Emoji. Cute, Japanese emoticons for iPhone

18 Mar
2010

Emoji (絵文字) is the Japanese term for the picture characters or emoticons used in Japanese wireless messages and webpages. Originally meaning pictograph, the word literally means e “picture” + moji “letter”. — Wikipedia

Aren’t these little emoticons simply adorable!? The good news is, that you can use them on your iPhone or iPod touch. You just have to activate them.

There are several applications to activate Emoji icons. To activate Emoji icons, I installed Emoji Free!, a free app that helps you get emoticons on your iPhone device allowing you to express yourself in new and creative ways! Read the rest of this entry »

Wha-Wha-What did you say, huh?
You’re breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you,
I’m kinda busy.

iPhone 2 Expensive? Try Cheaper nPhone Instead!

12 Mar
2010

Holy cow – these fakes are getting pretty good. Look quickly and it’s tough to see that this is really labeled as an “NPhone”. It’s an overseas knock-off of the first generation iPhone. What I can’t figure out is that for the $200 they charge you could buy a genuine (and fully warranteed) 3G 8GB iPhone with software upgrade, ability to load App Store programs and best of all – guaranteed to work! I have no idea whether this will even sync to iTunes or hold a charge or cellular signal – but it might be fun to take into Apple. I guess someone like Donovan would be able to afford this ‘cos we all know he wouldn’t be able to afford an iPhone at the least!

My Resignation from AGL

7 Mar
2010

Just the other day, I was thinking about my personal goals, what I’m worth, where I want to be and my happiness and I came to the conclusion that I wasn’t happy outside of where I worked, because of where I worked.

The biggest problem I have with my workplace is the location of the building and the environment in which I worked. I live in the northern suburbs, and last workplace was AGL at 226 Greenhill Road, Adelaide.
