Well, Apple seems to have turned the screws tighter on this build of Wasted Time for the Mac. While I’ve had this out for a while, they noticed that if you closed the main window, there was no way to get it back. So the suggestion is to either add a Cmd-N (for new window) […]
I’ve not had too much time to be able to work on my apps lately, even though I’ve been using my Holiday card tracker app a lot lately. It can be frustrating not to have the time to really dedicate learning new capabilities and APIs. On top of that, the paid (day) job has gotten […]
For the last 12 years or so, I’ve really enjoyed playing with the various beta’s of Apple’s operating systems. Discovering new features, and updating my apps each summer have been a great way to keep my technological skills current, while scratching the itch to write code. I’ve had good summers and bad summers, based on […]
While sitting at home and watching a live streams for 8 hours a day all week, is not the same as being at WWDC in person, I am really looking forward to see what Apple introduces this year. To prepare this year, I am doing the same as I did last year. I have setup […]
Wow, it’s already the end of May, and my last blog post was in February. Time sure flies when you work from home. Before WWDC happens this year I wanted to document my expectation. I talked about it during my podcast a few weeks ago, and even went out and bought a new iPad Pro […]
This past weekend I released updates to both WastedTime and WastedTime Watch. For WastedTime it was a minor bug fix, you can no longer end a meeting before it starts. 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 […]
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 […]
Just a quick note to say – Wasted Time for the Apple TV is now available. This is the perfect app for a conference room to show people how much it is costing to get a meeting started! Drop me your feedback!!! Demo on Simulator
As I continue to work on Wasted Time, I now have added working keyboard shortcuts, and menu items to both the iPad and macOS versions. I can’t wait for Big Sur and iPadOS 14 to come up so I can release these to the world. First a few screenshots The code ended up not being […]
One of the really cool things about keeping up with Apple’s summer release schedule is that you can add new features easily to your apps. This summer I spent time restructuring Wasted Time to add support for Widgets on iOS, macOS, and iPadOS. After I got that working, I thought, what the hell, why not […]
