Google Wave

on 12/4/2009 in general

Finally got an invite onto Google Wave. If you’ve never heard of it before, here is a short video on what it is and some of the things it can do.

I’d like to setup my own wave server long term and just federate over to Google’s (and other people’s systems).

Firedfox

on 9/29/2009 in linux, technology, windows

Finally got a iPhone 3GS. They have been sold out in Canada and some what hard to get up here. Got a friend to pick me one up in Hong Kong. As a bonus the phone is unlocked (it’s against the law in Hong Kong to sell carrier locked phones) so I can use it [...]

ASCII vs UTF8

on 8/13/2009 in business, iphone

We got some email from MMATracker users saying that the MMAJunkie RSS feed wasn’t working in the application any more. The code that I was using: NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL URLWithString:URL]; NSError *err = nil; NSString *xmlFeed = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlURL encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&err]; if (err) { // handle error } After some trial/error, I determined [...]
