What is a Senior Technical Staff Member?
I’ve been working at IBM for almost 25 years now! During that time I have spent my career going back and forth between the technical and business paths. I’ve done that because I really don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I love learning and at various times technology had more […]

WWDC 2021 Day 1
I never learn. Each year I love the start of WWDC: The excitement of what is new, the demos of how Apple sees features working, and the inevitable download of new tools, apps, and operating systems.

Who would have thought of that one?! For WastedTime Watch, this was the total re-write I was working on. It is now much more colorful […]
WastedTime Watch – Progress
Ok, I had basically gotten frustrated trying to change WastedTime Watch to a fully SwiftUI based app. Apple changed the App Entry point which had completely changed how the AppDelegate function worked. I thought this app was the simplest of my apps, so I could easily convert it to the new Swift Architecture. Boy was […]
Holiday Card App Update
Well, it has been three years in the making, and I am finally starting to feel that this app may be ready. I’ve not had much time to work on it over the three years, but I’ve used this app to learn CoreData and CloudKit. On Christmas Day, I finally broke through and fixed my […]

With the upcoming release of BigSur, I removed the Mac version of Wasted Time from the App Store a few weeks back. In the mean time the testing of the iOS version on the Mac has continued to be successful. I have run into a few problems with minor new updates, since the Mac Version […]
