23:17 Enjoyed Wolverine more than expected. Low expectations probably helped! Curious: was Deadpool ever that powerful in the comics? #
23:41 @michaelq I think so. I've only picked up Wolverine issues in the past year, so any story inconsistencies really didn't bother me. #
16:06 @MrRooni Looks good so far. The blackboard and wood theme works well. #
16:08 Done shovelling snow from the driveway. Easy job today (only an inch or so). Back to Daredevil back issues! #
16:10 Bonsai in garage were looking a little parched, so did
some watering. Hoping the soil won't freeze and crack the pots! #

08:33 @MarkusN Or if you do get a response from a review site, they want to be paid for the privilege! #
08:42 @kiwibastard Nov amounts in itc down a bit from expected, but not much. Haven't received payment yet. Just got US and Canada reports today. #
09:31 Think I've finally got the LoudTwitter posting to Livejournal problems sorted out. Apparently Atom posts to a Basic account are unreliable! #
13:10 Looks like Windows 7 and Power DVD 8 Ultra have rendered my HD DVD collection useless. Trying a Power DVD reinstall now.... #
13:13 RT @GavinBowman: Busy day at App Cakes, just added a Rocket Santa cake and new prizes: rfly.me/bakeoff #
14:15 Ok, Power DVD re-install fixed it. HD DVD movies now play fine, provided I ignore the critical update message (for a patch that fails!) #
14:17 Still contemplating that cheapo Lite-On Blu-ray drive from NewEgg, though! #
15:48 @MarkusN Pity hardly any of them disclose that the reviews were paid for. Seems like a conflict of interest to me! #
21:58 Watching Wolverine Origins. Snikt! #fb #

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. #

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? #

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? #

21:19 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 #

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. #

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? #

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. #
