If you follow my blog at all, you know that three years ago I got the original iPad Pro 12.9inch. It really changed how I used my iPad, as I could now really do significant work while on the go. I recently upgraded it to the new iPad Pro 11inch, which seems so small now, […]

Getting ready for Wasted Time V8.0
This summer has been a ton of fun learning how to address SiriKit in WastedTime. The last piece I have been working on is changing the UI to leverage Reactive Swift – AKA RxSwift. This will (hopefully) allow you to start a meeting on your HomePod and then open the app on your iPhone or […]
My Apple Watch Series 4 Prediction
So, I’ve been thinking about WWDC’s demos, and the rumors that the Watch Series 4 is going to be bigger.. so let me be the first one to blog this out loud… The Apple Watch Series 4 will become your Dick Tracy watch. Here’s why I say this.. If you watched the keynote, they showed […]
Holiday Card App and other progress
So, I finally have had a few things slow down enough so I could do some more coding. I am working on two projects at once. The first is adding Siri support to Wasted Time v8.0 – this has been really fun, as I am learning about Siri Intents, changing the app to run without […]
Don’t Change your Account on your iMac
When I replaced my old iMac (after it’s graphics card died), I had setup my new one and then migrated the old one via Apple’s account migration tools. Of course I had messed up and could not use my old account name, so in an effort to just get a working iMac I appended -blank […]
Looking for Testers
I am working this summer to add Siri Intents and Siri Shortcuts to Wasted Time this summer. To that end, I am looking for people who are running any version of the iOS 12 beta, who would like to be added to a TestFlight for testing out the new features. Right now I have updated […]
WWDC Day 5 – It’s a Wrap!
Thank you to Apple for doing a developer conference that kept almost everyone to the end. I am used to go to large enterprise conferences, and usually by day 3 or 4 the crowds really thin out. Today was day 5, and the lunch session today was PACKED! The room held 3,000 people, and the […]
WWDC Day 4 – All About Debugging
I spent yesterday in sessions all day looking at Xcode, LLVM, and LLDB and it was amazing. I had plans to go to the Panic at the Disco party and beer bash (even got my above wrist band to confirm I could have a beer), but decided it would be more productive looking at Xcode […]
WWDC and Relay.FM Day 3
I love podcasts, and have way too many that I listening to. I’m going thru them lately to re-prioritize those that I listen to. I realize that I’m getting stale with some of the ones I listen to, mostly the TWIT ones, MacBreak, TWIT and IOS today have gotten to the point where they’ve gone […]
WWDC Day Two
The best advice I was given by people who have been at WWDC before was to focus on getting time with the engineers. All the sessions are streamed as videos, and you can spend time later to watch the ones you missed. This is excellent advice! I stared the day yesterday with getting with the […]
