  • 03:18 @GavinBowman Hard to believe 15k return for a week's work these days, unless I misread the article? #
  • 04:58 @MarkusN Good point. That's about the time I started working on my app with hopeful $ signs in my eyes. Gold rush indeed! #
  • 05:01 @sdarlington Not to mention the time spent putting together the listing and packing items etc, assuming something less straightforward. #

  • 11:06 @onscrn Good luck on your bug hunt! Hopefully you won't find too many straight after you submit the app ;) #

  • 22:34 RT @julianrex: RT @samhouston: Amazing. Game developer creates a paper version of his head for Halloween mask: bit.ly/2age5i #fb #
  • 17:02 @majicDave Any chance you could show ranking outside top 100? #
  • 17:28 @majicDave Wonder how Apptism does it? Actually that's ranking per category, so a different set of data? #
  • 21:39 @onscrn That's the spirit! You know you must be getting close when you're thoroughly sick of it ;) #
  • 21:40 RT @MarkusN: "Space Master" is in the appstore! bit.ly/1INvf6 Brings fun back into gravity games, $0.99 will keep you going for days! #
  • 21:43 Back inside after raking backyard leaves. 11 bags. One bag short. Doh! #ihateautumn #fb #

  • 09:10 @Dr_Touch Unfortunately that's been the policy for months now. Had to rate my db app 17+ because of it. I refuse to remove the browser! #
  • 09:12 @MarkusN What do you think? The Metallica version caught my interest too, and it's pretty good so far. #
  • 10:56 Story Tracker: a submission tracking app for writers, on sale for Halloween! bit.ly/strack #iphone #ipod #writing #
  • 10:58 @MarkusN Yeah, St. Anger album is the weakest by far. Loving the new album, though. #
  • 11:55 @MarkusN All Nightmare Long (on new album) is under the Extreme section, but a bit hard to listen to unless you have the Tap-Tap chops! #
  • 13:58 @MarkusN The new album reminds me of old school Metallica, but with elements of their newer stuff coming through. What St. A should've been. #
  • 14:00 Mac devs: Any tips for where to start Mac dev for a developer coming from iPhone? Just dive into XCode and get cracking? #
  • 14:50 @mdhughes @onscrn @stuartcarnie Thanks for the tips! Got Hillegass' book when I started iphone dev, but more relevant to Mac. Perfect! #
  • 16:30 The deck is decorated and trick or treating is in full swing. Happy Halloween! twitpic.com/nql5f #
  • 16:40 Using Tallymander on the iPhone to keep track of trick-or-treaters #Halloween #
  • 19:45 @_danilo Yes. Actually just bought it tonight after seeing one of your tweets about it and design blog entry. Love the shake to count thing! #
  • 20:33 @britbonsai Thanks for the post. That's certainly an interesting perspective! #
  • 20:55 @britbonsai How do you deal with spider mites? Systemic insecticide? #
  • 21:07 Story Tracker: a submission tracking app for writers, on sale for Halloween! bit.ly/strack #iphone #ipod #writing #
  • 21:10 Trick-or-treater tally tonight was 43, down from 50 last yr. Still tonnes of chocs left (not for long!), but the comics were popular. #fb #
  • 21:19 Finished listening to the Dallas Bonsai Conversations with a Master package the other day. Lots of great info! bit.ly/Bonsaiconv #
  • 21:49 Watching the Ghost Hunters Halloween special. Skipped through most of it on the DVR, since it's mostly old episodes. #fb #

  • 11:51 RT @ChuckSmith: Parse plist files with a SINGLE line of code in your iPhone app. No, really! bit.ly/38sl37 #
  • 16:35 RT @CocoaGeek: Tales of App Store Failure bit.ly/5Kwq6 (via @ablepear) #
  • 19:29 RT @toucharcade: 'Wolfenstein 3D Classic' Updated to Platinum: bit.ly/Qb0SE #
  • 19:56 Updating my provisioning profiles and certificates due to expire soon. What a hassle! #iPhone #dev #
  • 20:42 @onscrn They send you an email a month or two before you need to renew as developer. Not so for profiles & certs - you need to check portal. #
  • 20:43 @snowbird122 Wasn't so painful after all. I was just rusty, so it took longer than if this was a regular occurrence. #
  • 20:45 iPhone devs: Any issue with popping up an alert after a week or two in a Lite app with a convenient button to purchase full version? #
  • 20:47 Per last tweet, this could be one-time occurrence or every few weeks (or app invocations) & Lite version still works as usual, if declined. #
  • 21:43 @botanybuddy Interesting. I've wondered if that might be an issue with my app. Users could be happy with Lite and not need/want full version #
  • 21:47 @stuartcarnie Right, but wondered if Apple were picky about such things. Had no problem with purchase button tucked away on info screen tho. #
  • 21:50 Pondered withdrawing the Lite version of my app at various points, but sales are so low I honestly don't think it would help; prob hinder! #
  • 21:53 @kshepherd Droid doesn't look that exciting, despite the marketing checkboxes! Would be nice if it was a contender; keep apl on their toes. #
  • 22:04 @jerols Tips for Ad Hoc: create profile after you have ALL testers device IDs, & Google .ipa creation; less problems than .app files IMHO. #

  • 13:01 . @snurri I'm disappointed! I read that tweet as baby chupacabras, but saw giant guinea pigs instead ;) #
  • 19:08 Contemplating installing Windows 7 over Vista 64-bit tonight. What horrors wait in store? :O But first, the workout! #fb #
  • 21:40 Windows 7 install still going after 40 mins. One restart so far, and now we're in chunky graphics mode. Expanding Windows files... #windows7 #
  • 21:54 @stealthv Scroll to top is a default behaviour in most cases. No special coding required, so maybe those other apps use custom views? #

  • 22:47 RT @onscrn: Here's a very informative & rather fatalistic video look at flu pandemics and H1N1 by an expert: bit.ly/1P7Awr #fb #
  • 12:09 @onscrn That tripped me up recently. Wrote an SQL script to be parsed by the app, but it wouldn't read it. Turned out to be RTF formatting! #
  • 20:24 Finished tidying up the veggie patch and planting the winter cover crops. Still about a million leaves to rake... #gardening #fb #

  • 09:57 @michaelq Have you tried Inkscape? I've found it nice for icon and logo design. #
  • 11:16 Finally Windows 7 is on its way. Pre-ordered back in June or July at a steep discount. Will be replacing Vista Home Premium 64-bit. #
  • 13:02 @MarkusN Super Recall Match? Brain Tester? Think n' Match? Look up synonyms in a thesaurus? ;) #
  • 15:17 @michaelq Yeah, there's definitely a learning curve there. I had no previous experience, although I had mucked around with gfx in the past. #
  • 15:25 @EcoAussie Arrghh! Hope all goes well! It doesn't seem that long ago you announced another one on the way. #
  • 16:36 RT @snurri: Timewarp: How your brain creates the fourth dimension tinyurl.com/yjrm6ve #fb #

  • 07:13 @GavinBowman Agreed. I only see a slight bump when my Lite version hits the new release list. No change in sales for full! #
  • 07:16 RT @GavinBowman: Some good tips: Cranking iPhone performance to 11 without inline assembly: bit.ly/2fIRyM (via @snappytouch) #
  • 15:46 @SnappyTouch Interesting article. I couldn't see how in-app purchase would help prevent piracy when all unlockable code ships with binary. #
  • 15:50 RT @DanGrover: Someone got denied health insurance because they had heartburn: dustincurtis.com/healthburn.html #
  • 16:21 @SnappyTouch Check with @Dr_Touch - latest AntiCrack has other countermeasures! #
  • 20:19 Good reviews on Story Tracker, my submission tracking app for writers. Still obscure! Want to help? digg.com/d316wWB #

  • 12:17 Story Tracker v1.2 has been approved. Includes bugfixes & grouping submissions by year -> less scrolling! #iPhone #writing #
  • 12:47 RT @GavinBowman: RT @AppSmile: The App Store Effect: Are iPhone Apps Headed for Oblivion? : bit.ly/ArxHa #
  • 12:53 RT @onscrn: OnScreen Pitch Count 1.2 on iTunes app store (bit.ly/xNDsc). Display pitch data as pct. (% strikes etc.) #
  • 15:00 @148Apps Story Tracker! A writer or reviewer has to track all those reviews, stories, or articles somewhere, right? #
  • 18:47 Wrapped the little bloke's birthday present. Hopefully he'll wake up at some point this evening to celebrate! #
  • 18:52 @majicDave Users expected price is free. Obviously pressure on devs to drop prices, but why more of an issue with AppStore? Mobile platform? #
  • 19:38 Stoking up the BBQ for kebabs on a brisk October evening. Brrrrr! #
