A few people emailed to ask how I knew how many users Exposure has. The numbers come from Flickr.
When you use Flickr’s API, your app is assigned an API key and every request has to include that key. Flickr provides certain stats to developers about the activity that’s happening for each key and one of [...]
It’s well known that there is a process of review that happens when a developer submits an application to the iPhone App Store. At the iPhone SDK launch, it was claimed that this was to prevent “bad” applications reaching users’ phones. The problem was that “bad” was and remains loosely defined. Those pornographic applications, [...]
The App Store is live, and you can go get Exposure right now. Of course, you won’t be able to run it until you have an iPhone or iPod touch upgraded to OS 2.0, but you’ll at least get to see the screenshots.
Exposure (Free)
Exposure Premium ($9.99)
Here’s a quick screenshot of the killer feature: Near [...]
I just noticed that it’s been nearly two months since I wrote here. It’s been a busy time and that time has mostly been spent pushing really hard on my efforts with the iPhone SDK. Neither are yet done, but yesterday I wrapped up phase one (the I-have-no-idea-what-I-am-doing phase) to get ready to leave [...]
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’m writing this on the train on the way back from a personal shopping session at the Apple Store. I specifically went there to get some time on a MacBook Air, and it was really worthwhile to do so. They lent me a staff member for an hour to talk me through some stuff about [...]
I’ve always thought Bono was largely full of it. Today I am, irrevocably and forever, completely convinced of the fact. Bono has made a second career out of, in effect, telling other people (governments) how they should spend money which was acquired under coercion (taxation) from third parties (taxpayers). He calls it “aid”, [...]
Just put a new design live on the Connected Flow blog. Much better than Kubrick!
The story behind this is the story of a smart business move. I blogged about how much I hated the design of connectedflow.com. It’s such a programmer’s web design, with all its sharp corners and hacky layouts.
A couple [...]
Evan Williams writes about the factors that led him to the Valley and his take on the perceived need to ‘be there’. It’s an interesting topic for someone who lives thousands of miles away from the supposed epicentre of their chosen profession. One could argue that the Pacific Northwest is really the hub of [...]
So I’m spending another Saturday sick in bed thanks to little children and their diseases, with the complicity of parents who won’t do their duty to public health and keep them away from the rest of the world. And, yes, I’m grouchy.
I’m catching up on the latest issue of The Spectator, when I come across [...]
