So I had this crazy idea to host a BarCamp-style event in Scotland around Mac/iPhone development. A few bits and pieces clicked together, so I’ve put up a Google Docs survey to gather information about the level of interest in such an event.

To expand a little on the content of […]
I recently had some correspondence with Blake Burris, who is himself considering the MacBook Air. Blake was asking about how I’m managing my iTunes and photo libraries on the Air’s limited disk space.
Here’s the substance of what I said, in the hope that it will be useful to others:
I’m a two-machine guy now. […]
The economics get more depressing every day. The government handling, even more so. As John Redwood MP comments:
Large sums of money were made available to the banks to ease them through the persistent credit crunch and liquidity crisis. The US were tidying up the loose ends of the rescue of America’s fifth largest investment […]
My wife told me that a “small package” was waiting for me at home. That could mean only one thing: the MacBook Air that I ordered on February 28th. I’ve purchased Revision-A Apple products before, but I’ve never, ever had to wait so long to receive one as I’ve waited for this machine.

Duncan Davidson posted his impressions of using Aperture 2 in serious production work. I also recently just completed my first shoot since Aperture 2 was released. I’ve been so crazy-busy on FlickrExport 3 and iPhone stuff that I’ve hardly picked up the camera since February.
I was doing some stage photography for our Passion […]

David Dugan took the trouble to make a complaint to InfoWeek about the article. The full response is in his comment at the above link, but here’s a little dissection:

Bit late on this one, but an episode of Late Night Cocoa was recently published featuring me talking about Image Kit on Leopard.
John Gruber has his occasional Jackass Of The Week award, for which Rob Enderle seems to be in line for a lifetime achievement award. I needed a more Scottish equivalent, so here is my Bampot1 of the week: Information Week’s Alexander Wolfe, for his overblown and incorrect piece about the iPhone SDK entitled “iPhone […]
I doubt doubt many readers of this blog will struggle with confusing RAM capacity and Hard Disk capacity. Regardless, I offer this analogy that I use to explain the difference to my less-technical friends in the hope that it will help your less-technical friends understand it:
Think of RAM as your physical wooden-or-formica desktop. It has […]
Just wanted to share a little trick I recently developed for Xcode. I had a problem with FlickrExport 3: the Info.plist file was not being regenerated correctly when I built the target without cleaning it first. This problem only came to light when I started using preprocessing in the Info.plist to fill in the […]
