So as part of my disconnecting facebook process, I did a full dump of the data that they have on me. I must say that FB has made this a lot easier. The part that is crazy, however, is in the dump they show all the companies that have my information based on their add […]
So, as I am working on disconnecting my FB account, one of the things that I will have to do is remove FB integration from one of my apps. This requires a new release of WastedTime – to be released soon. I will also have to get my Podcast and other integrations to be either […]
Wooohoooo.. some times when struggling with a programming bug, you just need to step away for a while. Then, when you come back, re-read the error messages from the crash – hopefully a light will come on in the brain. This morning, while editing this week’s episode of the GamesAtWork.Biz podcast, did a little work on […]
The other morning I was sitting at my favorite coffee shop, having a discussion with one of my morning friends, on the kind of data your phone collects on you. As we talked thru my traditional soapbox of why I choose iOS over Android, they mentioned the experience of having an ad pop up in […]
Well, I finally figured out what is going on with one of my crashes.. and can now allow people to delete Recipients with no cards sent.

Had my first public demo of my Alpha level app last night. And I now have a timeframe. I will strive to make the app finished and done by Late October. The app is a simple idea, but I keep learning more and more things to make it valuable. I am creating a App that […]
As of last night, the new Alpha code, allows the users to create new records, and new related records, without crashing!! Now that’s progress. Next I need to create the delete function on the main screen, and add in the correct displaying of created related records. This requires a new screen to display the chosen […]
One of the reasons I’ve toyed with the new app for so long (the idea is about 5 years old), has been that I am struggling to learn Core Data. Not only that, but I’ve been dealing with a ton of day job activities, etc. So I am finally getting this app started. The basic […]
Refactoring an app and a database at the same time, can lead to some interesting bugs. So today, I restructured my app. The good news is that the flow is more in line where I think I want it. THe bad news is, while I have enabled swipe to delete, it crashes the Alpha (after […]
I am currently rehearsing for my favorite Light Opera – Ruddigore by Gilbert & Sullivan. Rehearsing is a lot of hard work. You have to learn the “rules” (blocking, lyrics, dancing, notes, and dialog). You have to practice these rules over and over until you can do them without thinking. And then magic happens, and […]
