My installed iPad apps. Let me show you them.

July 26, 2010

In the last two days, three peo­ple have asked me about iPad apps.  I used to occa­sion­ally post what apps I was run­ning on the iPhone (the last being in 2008), but have never done this with the iPad.  So in the inter­est of shar­ing, let me walk you through my apps. My dock apps consist […]

30 Hour Day on the iPhone

July 1, 2010

A lit­tle over a month ago, I had this crazy idea.  It wasn’t quite as crazy as no sleep for char­ity, but it was a lit­tle out there.  You see, I have played with iPhone devel­op­ment, tech­ni­cally, since before there was an offi­cial SDK but for most prac­ti­cal pur­poses, for a lit­tle under a year. […]

iOS 4: Folders in the Dock

Thumbnail image for iOS 4: Folders in the Dock June 21, 2010

A fea­ture new to iPhone OS 4 (iOS 4) is the abil­ity to cre­ate fold­ers.  You can stack a few icons atop one another and they turn into a folder.  You touch the folder, it pops open, then you can touch an item in the folder to launch it. BUT!  Did you know that you […]

A vuvuzela iPhone ringtone. You’re welcome.

June 18, 2010

Because the world does not yet con­tain enough vuvuzela, I made an iPhone ring­tone of a vuvuzela.  You’re wel­come.  Just down­load it and drag it into iTunes.  The orig­i­nal audio file that I used is from the above-linked Wikipedia arti­cle, so if you can think of other uses for the sound clip, go crazy! I, for […]

As a few read­ers of this blog may know, I have been tin­ker­ing with iPhone devel­op­ment for about a year.  Tech­ni­cally, a bit longer than that — since the first jail­breaks and com­mu­nity SDKs — but real­is­ti­cally, with all seri­ous­ness, about a year of what I’d con­sider above “tin­ker­ing” but below “pro­fes­sional.”  In recent months, […]

AVI video to the iPad & iPhone">Streaming AVI video to the iPad & iPhone

AVI video to the iPad & iPhone">Thumbnail image for Streaming <span class=AVI video to the iPad & iPhone" /> April 10, 2010

A few weeks ago on Twit­ter, I asked the lazy­web if they knew of a way of stream­ing an AVI (or really, any video for­mat that is not directly sup­ported by the video player) to an iPhone for view­ing.  This was before the iPad, so that was not even a con­sid­er­a­tion.  There were a number […]

iPhone + Meowmania = most expensive cat toy ever

January 2, 2010

A few months ago at Ignite Port­land 7, a few of us on the bal­cony were com­par­ing silly cat-related iPhone apps.  My take­away from that dis­cus­sion was Meow­ma­nia (iTunes link).  Meow­ma­nia does one and only one thing.  When you touch the screen, a spin­ning cat head appears and meows.  That’s it.  No real point.  Buuuut… […]

YOURLS and Tweetie 2 for iPhone">Shortening with YOURLS and Tweetie 2 for iPhone

October 22, 2009

A few months back, around the pos­si­ble demise of the tr.im URL short­en­ing ser­vice, there was a sud­den rise in pop­u­lar­ity with run­ning your own URL short­ener on your own bou­tique URL.  That was when I set up Ninja Me (nja.me) using YOURLS.  At the time, I reverse-engineered the undoc­u­mented API enough to hack Twitter-Tools […]

iPhone Wallpaper Template

October 17, 2009

I recently updated my iPhone’s wall­pa­per to some­thing a bit more Halloween-y.  Behold: I like to have my email address on the front screen, but get­ting it to line up has never been easy.  With pre­vi­ous wall­pa­pers, I have just thrown it into the image some­where, but I felt this one would look bet­ter with […]

Wikis and notepads and text files, oh my!

October 16, 2009

The other night, @verso tweeted a ques­tion about run­ning a lit­tle wiki on a home file server.  I responded with Tid­dly­Wiki, which is a whole wiki con­tained in a sin­gle HTML file.  It actu­ally may or may not ful­fill her needs, since there are huge con­cur­rency and remote access issues — it’s designed to be […]

Netninja Mobile, now with sudoku

August 9, 2009

A lit­tle over two years ago, back when the iPhone SDK con­sisted of “here, kid, here’s a text edi­tor, now go away and make your­self a nice lit­tle web page, and quit both­erin’ me,” I quickly hacked together a lit­tle web con­trol panel and called it Phone­marks.  It ran, and con­tin­ues to run in some […]
