You’re setting up a short-code listening MMS app. Keep in mind: - The receiving (server) script should handle $_POST to the address - Setup that script in the developer portal’s app page - I included a lot of server logging (manually) in the script - [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/05/06/story-of-the-hackfest-bacon-unicorn/ http://www.banane.com/2012/05/06/story-of-the-hackfest-bacon-unicorn/#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 19:18:28 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2608 http://www.banane.com/2012/05/06/story-of-the-hackfest-bacon-unicorn/feed/ 0 Stacie, Estelle, and me in the background. Via Kris Corzine The AT & T Hackfest was in Palo Alto. Sleepy, beautiful, affluent, diverse and yet economically not-diverse, Palo Alto, at the AT & T Foundry, a neat space with lots of power, sunlight, and (oddly, but great) random doors onto the street. I kind of [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/05/04/facebook-mobile-app-in-20-no-7-minutes/ http://www.banane.com/2012/05/04/facebook-mobile-app-in-20-no-7-minutes/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 18:19:33 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2594 http://www.banane.com/2012/05/04/facebook-mobile-app-in-20-no-7-minutes/feed/ 0 I’m speaking at the AT & T HTML5 Hackathon tonight, and here are my slides, and basically my entire presentation. OMG UNICORNS AND PONIES Facebook has a nifty Mobile Web SDK and tutorial, and that’s what I’m going to make. The application- a simple “find fun posts on Facebook about unicorns and ponies”. I had [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/05/02/on-analog-games/ http://www.banane.com/2012/05/02/on-analog-games/#comments Wed, 02 May 2012 18:09:00 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2589 http://www.banane.com/2012/05/02/on-analog-games/feed/ 0 This morning I was reading an interesting post over at my buddy’s Zero1 Blog, “ZERO1 Artist Alumni, Tim Roseborough ~ “A Puzzling Display” Online Arts and Culture Game.” Blogger Dorothy Santos writes, ‘“A Puzzling Display“ is a new artist-created online arts and culture game, where registered participants compete and test their arts and culture knowledge.’ [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/04/25/adding-a-uitableview-to-a-view-with-ib/ http://www.banane.com/2012/04/25/adding-a-uitableview-to-a-view-with-ib/#comments Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:36:11 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2573 http://www.banane.com/2012/04/25/adding-a-uitableview-to-a-view-with-ib/feed/ 0 I love using Interface Builder– I know, I lose geek points by saying that. So I finally figured out this thing I’d always wanted to do: instead of just using an entire view as a UITableViewController, what if you want to use it like any other UI object, as a object within a View, and [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/04/06/no-social-networks-countdown-2-days/ http://www.banane.com/2012/04/06/no-social-networks-countdown-2-days/#comments Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:28:05 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2528 http://www.banane.com/2012/04/06/no-social-networks-countdown-2-days/feed/ 1 Wow, 2 days to go. In retrospect, I’m loving the following (about this blackout): - Discovering some great writing (Jezebel, xojane, bookslut, burrito justice) - Amazing IRL times with good friends, neighbors, family members - I revamped the style of this blog - I have been reading so many entertaining blogs (see above) that I’ve [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/04/04/my-awesome-1940s-neighbors/ http://www.banane.com/2012/04/04/my-awesome-1940s-neighbors/#comments Thu, 05 Apr 2012 06:59:55 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2531 http://www.banane.com/2012/04/04/my-awesome-1940s-neighbors/feed/ 1 Via Burrito Justice, I started looking into the National Archives’ released census data on who exactly lived at my address (via 1900 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps)- the corner of Columbus (formerly Montgomery) and Taylor, in North Beach. The entries are fascinating, especially when I started doing the math. The details are fun. I decided to [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/04/02/no-social-networks-countdown-to-day-1-6/ http://www.banane.com/2012/04/02/no-social-networks-countdown-to-day-1-6/#comments Mon, 02 Apr 2012 19:58:09 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2523 http://www.banane.com/2012/04/02/no-social-networks-countdown-to-day-1-6/feed/ 0 When I thought there was nothing new to report… wrong! The lastest manifestation of not being online is how folks forget that I’m not online. They think I know things going on with them, because they’ve spoken about it publicly. Which is a common thing. I am also guilty of that, having lived so publicly [...] http://www.banane.com/2012/04/02/dont-call-it-an-app/ http://www.banane.com/2012/04/02/dont-call-it-an-app/#comments Mon, 02 Apr 2012 19:44:13 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2521 http://www.banane.com/2012/04/02/dont-call-it-an-app/feed/ 0 Tell me what you think- wrote an article on “appiness” — no, it’s not a Cockney pronunciation of happiness, but the trend towards ever increasing complexity in online interfaces, that makes them ineffective and “appy”. http://www.banane.com/2012/03/28/no-social-network-day-28-mis-managing-my-calendar/ http://www.banane.com/2012/03/28/no-social-network-day-28-mis-managing-my-calendar/#comments Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:53:35 +0000 banane http://www.banane.com/?p=2512 http://www.banane.com/2012/03/28/no-social-network-day-28-mis-managing-my-calendar/feed/ 0 Just a quick note on this Facebook/Twitter black out. A couple of times when I show up for in-real-life event stuff, friends say “OMG I miss you!”, “My Facebook is so quiet with you gone!”, “I can’t wait until you’re back online!” It’s kinda funny. It’s odd because from my perspective, while I may have [...]
