Recently, my team had to shift focus in development slightly. Our changes required us to go back to the latest QA verified build in our source control repository (in our case Subversion). We started working off of this version to ensure that any new stuff was branching off from a verified source. There are some [...]
After a great experience, I’m proud to release my new application, Mashduo. This was really a terrific experience. I had this idea for an app to take me and my friends iTunes library, do some fancy magic, and then tell each of us what songs the other person has that we don’t. I thought it would be [...]
There are a few ways to send email from a Cocoa app. A few frameworks let you directly send an email without the user ever having to do anything. In my development, I wanted to open Mail with a pre-constructed message and let the user edit the email in Mail before sending it. I had [...]
At iLovePhotos, we’ve been working with our Mac desktop application for a long time. Internally, we use Subversion as our version control system. One of version control’s best features is merging. If I am working on a file, and over in Hawaii, Chad is also working on that same file, I can make my changes, [...]
Great news: we have officially launched the desktop app iLovePhotos, and you can download it for free right here (Mac only). We still have a long development process of fixing up bugs and adding a bunch of features we still have on our minds, but we want to get the app out in your hands, [...]
The photo tagging app iLovePhotos that I’ve been working on since the start of the summer with the great crew over at Blue Lava just demoed today in San Diego at the DEMO conference. Lorenz, our CEO, gave an awesome speech (with the help of Cory on the demo machine).
The demo went very well with [...]
I’m currently in transit between Honolulu and San Antonio, and for a few hours I’m hanging out in the Denver Airport, which is amazingly boring. The one thing Denver does right is WiFi. I don’t fly too much, but I’ve never been to an airport that offered free WiFi. LAX makes you purchase a T-Mobile [...]
For the last week I’ve been hanging out in Honolulu, Hawaii working on a sweet new startup called iLovePhotos. We are creating a great photo tagging Mac app and a great companion website. Over at TechCrunch’s Elevator Pitches, my boss Lorenz has detailed what we do. It’s a great summary of our product, and I [...]
The MacNewsWorld has a nice summary of WWDC. I was also asked to comment for the article, and if you read around, you’ll see some of my thoughts. In a few days I hope to have a write up of my overall thoughts on WWDC here on my blog. As of yet, WWDC has been [...]
I’ve made my initial list of sessions I want to attend at Apple’s WWDC this June. I’ve chosen the obvious ones like the keynotes and state of the unions, and I’ve emphasized on some graphics sessions and some iPhone related sessions. If anyone else is going to WWDC, please comment on what sessions you plan [...]
