The keynote is over, and I’m on the 2nd floor of the Moscone Center sipping a coffee and thinking about all the stuff that Steve and his team just presented: The new iPhone 3G with GPS will go live on July 11th in several countries, including Switzerland! And best of all, the price of the [...]

Twitter’s down, but not my blog! I’m in the main Moscone conference room waiting for the start fo the keynote; there are thousands of people here! “Roll over Beethoven” is sounding all over the place… The air is filled with electricity. This won’t last long. Just a few minutes more, and we’ll know what’s in [...]

Comparing Lausanne to San Francisco is a straightforward experiment: By the way, I’m in SF. On Monday I’ll attend WWDC. But tomorrow Claudia and I are biking through the Golden Gate ;)

Xcode is amazing. Of all the IDEs I’ve used (and this is, as always, a personal opinion, having used Visual Studio since version 6, Eclipse, Kdevelop and others) it’s the one I prefer. And today I found another reason to like it. I’ve noticed this: when I use Xcode on a single-processor machine (such as [...]

For those attending WWDC, and wanting to have the module complete schedule in iCal (as suggested by TUAW), I’ve created a small script (using Prototype) that will transform the JSON data of the official WWDC schedule into calendar files, which you can save and load into iCal. This script was featured in another TUAW entry! [...]

A comment at the bottom of his own lengthy but otherwise interesting article: One more important point: I’m surprised that some people seem to think I’m implying some programming studliness from my little 3-day excursion. Not so: any first-year college student or intern, or heck, self-taught dude in his basement, could have done exactly what [...]

If you do not know ohcount, you should; the guys at ohloh.net have GPL’d one of their core components, namely the one that allows you to perform source code line counts in your own projects. Neat and useful! However, the current ohcount distribution (which you can download from this link) does not build out-of-the-box in [...]

I’ve just bought my e-ticket for Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference 2008! This one will be the first one featuring iPhone developer tracks, and that’s one of the main reasons for me to go. Another good one is that neither Claudia nor me know San Francisco, so it’ll be a great time to hang out and [...]

Through Gruber’s Twitter I learnt that some users (like Mark Santaniello) were complaining that SSH stopped working after installing Apple’s Security Update 2008-002; well, through Callum Jones I learnt that the problem is not Apple’s, but Rogue Amoeba’s. Check out the Apple Discussion on the subject, and Peter Gryphon’s fix on the same thread. Happy [...]
