I was looking through mastodon today and saw the following post – This got me thinking about the hype that’s been going on for the last two years around large language models and AI in general. What can AI’s do? Given this, do they really drive significant productivity? Can they make code that is bug […]
Like many in tech I’ve been looking at various Large Language Models lately. One of the most fascinating use cases is using Chat-GPT to write code that can be a productivity enhancer for developers. As part of my day job, I work with OSLC compliant applications. If you are not familiar with OSLC, check out […]
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 […]
I’ve been a huge iPad fan since it first game out. I bought the first four versions sight unseen, and with each one I loved it more. I have the original iPad keyboard stand, that plugged into the 30 pin slot and only worked in portrait mode. When the first iPad Pro came out, I […]
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 […]
After a brief testing period, I have submitted a new version of Wasted Time today to the Apple App Store. This version completely removes Facebook Integration. I have done so, after looking at the data that Facebook provided in the brief period that version 7.1.1 was in the store. I have decided not to feed […]
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. Years ago a friend told me a story about someone interviewing for a job as a database programmer. The interviewer asked them how they would handle a programming request […]
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 […]
As I’ve mentioned in recent posts, my day job is a bit overloaded lately. The good news is, after spending significant time working on Saturday, I discovered that I will not have my first thing Monday morning meeting. What that means is, today I get to code! I’ve been struggling with inserting sprites between layers […]
I don’t have a lot of time to do my blogging, coding, and gaming… I have my day job which has been consuming more and more of my free time, including my time on weekends, and evenings. I bet many of you can relate to that, especially if you are doing mobile development in your […]
