I’ve had this conversation a few times, with a friend setting up a content management system for a school, with Radiant folks regarding a what a full blogging suite looks like, and on the Ruby-SF list regarding good Ruby CMS systems.
At this point I could go on a boring bit about the differences between content [...]
My skill level jumped up by leaps and bounds through a few guided reviews of my code with a friend. Here’s what I learned, for posterity and retaining my own lesson, ha.
Objective-C has C-styled instance variable initialization and assignment
It may be confusing, but I kept seeing code examples that had this:
NSArray *imageArray = [...]
So I’ve reached a milestone, I have the app working on my iPhone. Yay! A movie to prove it’s true (sadly, I can’t demo it on this web page).
I’m going to write a post on the next level of Objective-C/Cocoa lessons I learned in the last week, but for now just rejoicing in getting the [...]
I am chugging right along on this application- and, you guessed it, a cootie catcher. The next step is to create a simple animation of the paper toy opening and closing (based on user selection).
The task: based upon a button click, animate 3 images to simulate the opening and closing of the toy. Slightly more [...]
I really don’t have time to write this post but I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Lately, I’ve run into a few conversational moments where people actually laughed at me. Not with me, not about something else, but at something I had said in all seriousness. Basically: relating to my career and life [...]
I got a very simple iPhone application to work, basically a riff of a great blog post- from Cocoa is my Girlfriend, “Cocoa Touch Tutorial iPhone Application“. The application shows an image based on a button click.
1. Create a project in Xcode, “Cocoa Application”. Name it something, like “Example.”
2. Open up the ExampleAppDelegate.m, and after [...]
Cootie Catcher is a game girls play around the world, and is more commonly know contemporarily as Fortune Teller. I have a nostalgic love for the old name, but should probably start using the more boring modern term. Anyways. This is how it is made from a real paper game to a computer game.
First you [...]
There was an 0.01 but it never made it off my local system. SO … here is a working version!

Make It Simple…
Went to a great talk on Thursday by GirlGeek Dinners, and Women2.0 on mobile applications. One message and word of advice [...]
At She’s Geeky last weekend, I put up a sign to propose a talk: “Cootie Catcher, Games for Girls.”
I was running late from other sessions and ran over the semi-circle of chairs and a white board in the center of the room. There I noticed 4 or so girls that had been waiting for about [...]
The blogosphere is full of a lot of posts about this particular problem, but I thought I’d chime in with my own insights. This is evidenced by two errors. First, whenever you try to do any kind of rake db task:
rake aborted!
uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes
Second, you cannot install the Mysql Gem. missing libraries, or other errors, [...]
