Macifier - Pacifying Your Keyboard And Mouse

My daughter Gracie was routinely disabling our family laptop while she skyped with her Grandparents. So I wrote a small Macintosh application that locks the keyboard and mouse. After showing the initial app to my buddy Mike Brisk, he created an awesome logo.

Head over to http://macifier.com and download it for free.

iPhone Methods : Shifty & Pulse

ShiftyAndPulseMethods

Over on www.iphonedevsdk.com someone was asking how to make their screen pulse. These methods are from a little experiment I did. They fire and visually show the user when their login attempt to the server fails. Pretty basic, and not perfect, but hopefully they get people started.

PS : sorry for watermark, I do not record my screen often enough to justify expense.

NXTemplates

I find that I am starting new iPhone projects under xCode all the time. And there are certain things that I am creating over, and over, and over again. One of the common things I find myself doing, is REMOVING all references to Interface Builder*. So I created NXTemplates. A templating library that does not utilize Interface Builder and will hopefully grow.

Path to install the templates /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcod/Project Templates

Go easy on me. I may be doing something wrong so I am starting a thread over on iphonedevsdk.

*(Interface Builder is not cool, and I would suggest that if you plan on working with the iPhone SDK, you stop using it as soon as possible. The reasons behind this are beyond the scope of this post.)

Objective-C!!! What a verbose freakin language! I have been banging my head against Objective-C trying to learn if for 5 weeks now (only in my spare time). I can say that I am finally gaining ground, but when I first took a look at it I almost gave up. The good thing is that it is easy to see what is going on in the code ONCE you know the syntax. The bad thing is that it took a WHILE to feel some what comfortable.

So my advice for anyone starting out.

1) Work hard
2) Don’t give up
3) Work hard
