WOW, here I am about to release my second iPhone app, and I realized that I haven’t blogged about my first iPhone app! “RotoPhoto” is my first iPhone app. It’s a simple tool that allows you to rotate the orientation of a photo taken with the iPhone.

I upgraded my mac!

A few months ago I bought a Mac mini so I could start to develop iPhone applications. I must say that I am growing to be more of a Mac user then I thought i would be. I purposly bought a cheap Mac to get started with, but I’m starting to regret it. One of [...]

Internet Explorer 6 must die!

As a professional web developer I have the authority to say this, Internet Explorer is a pain in the ass to support. IE 6 is the browser that shipped with Windows XP, so it was pretty wide spread. Every year on the web is like 10 years in any other industry. This makes IE 6 [...]

iPhone + AIM + push notification = Happy Josh Highland

I got my real start in programming making “progies”, back when MaGuS and fungii ruled the scene (only a fist full of people will know who I am talking about), circa 1995. I have and always will have a soft spot in my heart for AOL instant messaging. I don’t use the AOL service anymore, [...]

phpBB admin password manual reset

Today I ran into a situation where I had forgotten the password to my development instance of phpBB 3. I was stuck in a situation were I needed to reset the password. I had full admin access to the database, so changing it there wouldn’t be the problem. The real problem is that phpBB uses [...]

no place like home (and end keys) on a mac

I never noticed how often I use the “home” and “end” keys when I type until they were taken away from me. I am a programmer by trade, and as a result, I type code all day long. On a PC the end key will take you to the end of a line, and the [...]

I got a mac

As part of my 2009 new years resolutions, I’m going to write an iPhone application and launch it this year. I realized that the first quarter of the year is almost over and I haven’t made any progress on this. The biggest hurdle was the development platform. I’ve tried to install Mac OS X onto [...]
