As is my habit each summer after WWDC, I rewrite my Wasted Time app to try and take advantage of the latest changes for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. This summer has been no difference; however, I also took some time to completely refactor the application to no longer use the AppDelegate feature of older […]

WWDC 2023 – Day 1 – Platform State of the Union
Time to get into the details… Ok, this is a just a post of my raw notes, no real analysis. I am looking forward to starting all the sessions tomorrow. But tonight I still have to watch the Design Awards.
Looking forward to WWDC 2023
Tomorrow is the start of WWDC 2023, and the rumors are all coalescing around the idea of the Apple Headset. It’s been 9 years since I tried on, and ultimately bought, Google Glass, so the promise of an Apple headset is more than exciting to me. While people are complaining about a rumored price of […]
Completed two major classes
I like learning. It’s that simple. I like to take classes, learn new things, read about new things, and play with new things. It’s one of the reasons I think I like being in technology, there are always new things to learn. Early last year I decided to start the class 100 Day of Swift […]
State of the Platforms
This is a raw notes post.. if I get things wrong.. please let me know! As I am consuming the firehose today. After many network issues here at home, I was able to get to the State of the Platforms keynote. While I had seen little of the hype at the beginning before losing network […]
WWDC 2022 – Keynotes
Every year I take an “Education-Vacation” to coincide with WWDC. I was lucky enough back in 2018 and 2019 to actually go to WWDC in person. Over the last few years it has all been virtual. At times WWDC has blown my mind like the dragon in my favorite WWDC shirt. As I get ready […]
Heading Down to the wire
Well, I thought I had the last major bug figured out, but it was still there. So back to the drawing board. This is a bit of an insidious problem since it causes unexpected changes to the data. In order to keep from corrupting my testers data, I have not released any of my interim […]
Wasted Time Updates!
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 […]
WWDC – Day 5
I wanted to start this day early, since I was declined for my second Lab request. I have been working on Shortcuts support in Wasted Time and while I had a great session on Wednesday, I am still having issues with the launching of Wasted Time from the Shortcuts app. I am getting a “Sorry […]
WWDC 2020 – Day 2
Wow! Made it thru 9 sessions today, and have 2 more that I wanted to do, but I am bushed. I will try and post a quick summary in the morning of the session on this same blog post… More to come… As promised, here’s what I’ve learned on Day 2 (or at least the […]
