After yesterdays iPhone SDK release, my boss agreed that we should spend some time making a client for our apps with it and got me an iPod touch to work with. Good stuff. The SDK and tutorials seem very good. Strange thing that many of the samples don't run in the Aspen Simulator. Especially since I need a certificate to be able to deploy them on the iPod, and that certificate is right now not available outside the US. I didn't expect to need a certificate to develop, I thought that was just for publishing on iTunes. So not being able to deploy those samples on a device and not being able to run them on the simluator, I'm stuck with guessing. I hope that is soon resolved as developing for it is good fun.

I have been using Webkit nightly for the past few weeks. I was not planning on using it much, just trying it out, but it's so fast that without really intending to, I've stopped using Firefox. I never used Safari much because I like Firefox both speed- and feature-wise, but now I'm probably Webkit only. Until something better comes along, of course. Naturally, I've been wanting to use it at work, on the Windows Server 2003 R2 servers that I'm developing on. To start of with something safe, I tried out Safari while installing a Sharepoint server. It crashed when only it and the OS was installed. Jikes. On close inspection, Safari only claims to be XP and Vista compatible, but installed without a problem on WS2003R2. Replacing it with webkit was no hit either, both crashed when entering wikipedia.org in the address bar. Having fully installed ...

A food obsessed IT developer writes about setting up visual studio to develop for sharepoint without having sharepoint installed on the development computer. Nice instructions and saved me quite a bit of time.

FixPicture is a nice little site that helped me with converting a PSF file (ArcSoft PhotoStudio format) to JPG. I had received this file as an attachment by a user who couldn't know this was a nonstandard format, and since I didn't have any software that could read it (as far as I know), this site was very useful.

Macrumors reports that AppleTV Take Two includes airtunes support! Yay! Finally some light in this dark tunnel. And here I was thinking that Apple had abandoned the technology after leaving it out of new Airports. I'm looking forward to hearing just what it will do. Stream? Play back? Both ways? Bridge?
