Very funny…

June 19th, 2008

 

We often talk about telling our children to be careful about what they email, post to blogs or social networks, chat about online, tweet, instant message or whatever the kewl way to communicate is that day; telling them they need to be careful because the "Internet doesn’t forget".  There is potential that everything they do online will stay online in some way permanent way.  For my day job we think a lot about this because we are trying to help kids get into college.  More and more universities are getting more hip and more technically fluent where they understand what a Facebook Wall is.  Our kids need to be careful about what they say, who they say it to, what groups they join, etc… so that these universities dont hold it against them later.

 

A funny comic that Jeremy sent me…

 

 

Apple: iPhone Developer Program on Hold. Barry: You Mother @#*)%$’s

April 22nd, 2008

Sorry, but I am still steamed over the whole Developer program.  Needed just one more rant about it…

---

Well, talk about taking the wind of out your sails. 

Watch the momentum grow:

1. I jumped in head first, bought an iPhone - hearts beating, new toy, I can touch it and it vibrates…
2. Downloaded the SDK - WOW, Apple seems to have their shit together, gonna write my first Apple based program since college…
3. Installed the tools - can’t believe Apple made good tools finally, the simulator looks rockin…
4. Watched the videos - these are great, why are they all wearing the same tshirt, hope they make more of these…
5. Read the documentation - ok, not so great, but more than I expected, they seem to be locking down the beta pretty good, why aren’t there more articles…
6. Wrote my first program - heart is really racing now, I think I can do this, imagine the possibilities…
7. Ran my app on the simulator - This thing really does rock, I hope it works this great on my phone, can’t wait to make my first commercial app, I am going to be a star at work, chicks will dig me…
8. Switch the target from simulator to device - What does it mean "provision"?

 

So until they open back up the Developer program which is another friggin $100 I am more than willing to pay, I cant "provision" my friggin iPhone.

 

OY.  Maybe the chicks will dig the simulator?  Hold on while I compile….
