MonoTouch and null

Remember.  Setting variables to null doesn’t necessarily mean null. I had an Enum variable that I would set once.  So I’d declare it: Values MyValue = null; Then, in the natural order of things I’d check to see if it was null and assign it the current value if it was.  But, oddly enough it [...]

Whoa, where am I? And MonoTouch!

I really haven’t been updating this very often have I? Probably because I spend so much time fighting with IE. Just a quick heads up. I’ve talked about Mono in the past. Get your C# app on any platform. Now they’ve released MonoTouch. MonoTouch allows you to develop iphone apps in you favorite .Net/Mono language [...]

iPhone Stencil

Just got back from picking up my iPhone Stencil from Design Commission. The stencil looks nice. Look forward to using it as soon as I get a chance to design one of my ideas. Got to email a company and see if they’d have my app pulled if I did it. We’ll see. Oh, and [...]

GMail and iPhone issues Redux

Okay, I posted earlier about having issues logging into your gmail account on the iPhone or via Pidgin for google chat.  I started running into this problem again only on the iPhone and only when I was on edge/3G. Here’s how I got it working again. Recently I got my phone replaced and synched with [...]

New 2.1 iPhone firmware report

So, the first thing it does upon restarting and reactivating is start another terribly long back up.  Didn’t we just back up about 5minutes ago when we started all this?  And.. where’s these supposed to be faster now?  Hrmm we’ll see how it goes.

Geocaching

So, one of the new features on the iPhone is A-GPS. When I heard about everyone and their brothers complaining that the 1st gen iPhone lacked gps I couldn’t see the point of all the fuss. Certainly if you’ve bought such an expensive phone you know where you are at all times. Or are at [...]

iPhone WordPress App

Hey, look at this. The wordpress guys put out an iPhone app. Pretty damn handy. Now I can fire off a blog post from anywhere. Hopefully this can help my blog compete for my attention against Twitter. Anywho, hopefully this will breath a little life into the blog though, I have to admit that the [...]

What the 3G iPhone might mean for the 1st Gen

So we’re all trying to take in the full meaning of the impending 3G iPhone release. We’ve sorted out the pricing on Apple’s side of it, $199 for the 8 Gig phone and $299 for the 16 Gig.  Sorted out the AT&T side of it, +$30 to your phone plan vs. the 1st Gen +$20. [...]

wp-hashcash eats comments in iphone theme

I’m turning off the iPhone specific theme/plugin for a bit because I noticed, for what ever reason, it causes wp-hashcash to throw out your comment with a nasty message when using the theme. I don’t know why.  The hooks are there for hashcash.  But it just chucks the comment.  Doesn’t even offer it up to [...]
