12 giugno iPhone DevelopersSo, yesterday at the WWDC Keynote, Apple announced it's plan for 3rd party apps on the iPhone. And that was the point where the developers in the audience should have stormed the stage.
InfoWorld / Tom Yager sums it up better than I probably could, but to reduce it down to fewer words - Web 2.0 and AJAX does not a Mobile Application make.

I can only find 2 sites which support the idea. And they link to each other.
I admit, I hadn't thought about the Safari for Windows being released to help out iPhone website (call it an app all you wish, but it's still a website) development. And maybe I'll post about my experiences with Safari a bit later. 08 giugno Programmer Personality Test
Taken from the Programmer Personality Test at Doolwind.com. Discovered through Shirley Williams. It'd be interesting to see the split between those in the "real world" and those in academia. 07 giugno New PC, WhooHoo!Yesterday was the first time I've ever built my own PC. I've taken others apart and put them together again but when you take something apart you generally know how it goes back together. Ordering the pasrts for the PC was the first problem because until the order arrived, I was never quite sure it was all going to fit together. Then putting it together probably took about an hour or so, the main delay being when I realised I needed to take the motherboard back out of the case in order to fit the IO faceplate. And there was a small amount of bleeding when I installed the processor and heatsink, but I've no idea what I actually cut myself on.
Once the hardware was together, the Vista installation disk came out. I've been sat on this copy of Vista since the launch event at MS Reading, so it's good I've finally used it somewhere. Annoyingly it hit the activation screen after the first reboot, forcing me to activate windows there and then, rather than waiting the comlpementary 90 days or whatever. Does this mean the activation period is from something written on the disk rather than the install date?
So, booted up, I went to check the Windows Experience Index (WEI). 1.0! Turns out that the graphics drivers aren't installed properly, so after reinstalling them the system goes up to a 4.7 where memory speed is now holding me back. Some playing around reveals that for the best speeds, I should have fitted the second memory chip in a different slot, so I move it and rerun WEI - 5.5 for the memory, 5.3 overall due to the hard drive. Some more fiddling this morning has meant that I've upped the specs a bit so the memory now gets a 5.9 but the system as a whole is still 5.3 (nothing I can do about the hard drive). The fiddling has also meant that my 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo E6700 is now overclocked to run at 3GHz. Various websites say it will safely do 3.5GHz, but I've made a decision not to push it (for now).
With the new PC built and tested, I'm already considering future upgrades. 2GB of memory will probably get upgraded to 4Gb at some point, and I might add an extra 500Gb hard drive so I can use RAID properly. For now though, this new PC is blisteringly fast. Blistering, I tell you. |
