iPhone development

June 20th, 2009 Randy No comments

new_iphoneOk, so I am thinking about developing two apps, just to get into the swing of things again. For almost 6 months, I’ve looked for a battery meter. When you plug the phone in, you get a cool almost readable meter, when not, you get a tiny little icon, and I’m not that old, but seriously, how about a percentage. NOTHING has it. The other one was a Bio-rhythm app. I’ve found four, but they are pay for it apps.  I remember when my dad ran a computer in the 70′s, that took 30 minutes to boot, had one.   Seriouly we need to charge $.99 for something that old?    I’ll save my development power and my marketing efforts for when I write the next killer fart app.   Yes, you read that right.  $40K in two days.  I guess we’re all 14 year olds after all..  I should make a killing.

I don’t think I told everyone that Sadie and I went to Stonehenge last time we were in London.  How cool it that?

Texas whirlwind

dallas

Had to do a 1-day to Dallas for a client.  What a pain 1 day travel is.  I had NO fun at all there.  It was 99 degrees, I had the middle seat both directions, paid $19 to park at a hotel to have a dinner.  Stayed up late doing work.  The client was great and it was a great presentation, but I saw nothing of Dallas but hotel room, conference room and traffic.  Booo!!

I love F-18′s

F18s08 A pair of 18′s just flew out of Jeffco. It’s great cause we hear them start the takeoff, then they shake the house and deafen everyone. Love it. It’s almost a pride moment. How cool must it be to fly those guys.  We see them every year at the airshow.  They just rip the sky in half.  What a machine.  I’m happy about my tax dollars going there, they obviously don’t go to the roads in Colorado.

The Tusken Raider is complete.  I gave him some weathered splotchiness to finish him off.   Real happy with how he came out.

This is what is looked like yesterday.  We’ve been having the longest spring, and the most rain I’ve seen.  Thunderstorms are cool though.

Just about everything went wrong this weekend.

Let’s see. Sadie threw her back out, I mashed my ear on the car, my friend’s cell phone ran out of minutes, so I drove around trying to find him, got a speeding ticket in Alma, got caught in a nasty thunderstorm, which proceeded to hail on the MINI and caused paint damage, the trunk latch broke on the MINI, I hit a curb (new tires) which scuffed the rims and took a chunk out of the tires.  Spilled my Jamba Juice (actually Sadie’s).  AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
