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 […]
Getting back to Wasted Time
I’ve finally gotten back to Wasted Time app for the Mac. Having figured out much of the issues with packaging for including the Mac version as part of a bundle. Now if you’ve paid the $0.00 for your copy of Wasted Time on iOS or tvOS, you will have a copy of Wasted Time for […]
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. And this year, like WWDC19, something goes wrong. I picked up the new iPad Pro 11inch (with the M1), […]
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.

Twitter is Back – Wasted Time
It took me a while to figure out all the ins and outs of callback URLs and the new (yeah a few years old) twitter APIs. But I have it working on both the Catalyst app and the iOS app. I’ve not figured out how to get it working on the WatchOS version… but excited […]
Cracking the Code
Today’s been very productive so far: I’ve been able to fix a few UI issues that have really bugged me in my Mac version of WastedTime. I’ve uploaded version 9.0 of WastedTime for iOS to the App Store – the total rewrite of Wasted Time using SwiftUI and Combine I’ve built both a Mac Native […]
