Old BlogMuch teeth gnashing tonight. I am working on my next game idea – another kids math game using cocos2d. It took me quite a while to figure out that if I add a label to a sprite – in this case, the math number to be answered – that it inherits from the scale of [...]

There’s not as much on KVO when you google as there is on other forms of object-to-object communication. I found a lot on Notification, for example. But KVO is potentially much simpler. I suspect that Notification is used more often because you can do a ‘chain of responsibility’ for an event as opposed to just [...] 2011 is almost gone. What a year of change it’s been. I set a goal to build my reader base on the blog to 1000 daily readers. I’m under a hundred. For some reason I have been reluctant to blog for the second half of this year. Sure, I was busy – I took over [...] My wife’s Grandfather passed away on Thanksgiving evening. He was almost 99. A few weeks ago he was mobile (with a walker) moving around the house, watching ball games and trash TV (he loved the Judge Judy type shows). He couldn’t hear without his hearing aid in – and even then not so well. But [...] I just reserved an iPhone 4S for pickup tomorrow. I plan to turn off my Blackberry. Of course, my day job only supports the ancient, slowly dying behemoth that is RIM. Oh well. I’ll pay extra for the tethering option and use my notebook to access work email over VPN.

When I read the paper – even a crap paper like my San Francisco Chronicle – I’d see snips of news of a wide nature. I don’t watch TV news. CNN headlines – [...] There are reports that United Continental will deploy 11,000 iPads to pilots to get to a paperless flight deck. Another accretion of snow on the giant iPad snowball that’s picking up speed. The tablet wars are over. iPad has won. HP sensed it early and got out. It will be interesting to see what Samsung does. [...] In my search to market my math arcade game MultiAlien I’ve come across some really good web sites that I wanted to share. Here they are in no special order: MathFour – Math is not a Four Letter Word! BestKidsApps - reviews of all the best kids apps Apps4Kids - another set of reviews – and a place [...] Apple rejected my app this morning! I had broken a rule! Apple iOS Developer rule 20.2 states “Official rules for sweepstakes and contests, must be presented in the app and make it clear that Apple is not a sponsor or involved in the activity in any manner.” Since I have a scheme where you [...] |
