  • Apps for kids

    Every now and again I’ll let the kids get a paid app each for the iPad. That day is today and it hasn’t turned out so well. Elizabeth ended up in tears because the game she wants does not exist. She wants a Sim city type game where you have to solve maths problems before you…

  • Be careful what you say

    A couple of times recently I’ve replied to a Twitter direct message on my iPhone expecting my reply to also be a direct message only to be horrified to see my message become a Tweet on my public profile. At first I thought maybe I had done something wrong so I tested it out today. A friend sent me…

  • Zeeks

    I have a new app! It’s called Zeeks (named after our dead dog, Zeki) and it’s aimed at people who want to keep track of their time. Anyone who charges by the hour or minute and those who need to record the time they spend on professional development can do this using Zeeks. Events are…

  • Fumbling my way forward

    I’ve just submitted my EruptNZ app to the app store for review. This app reads the RSS feed from Geonet New Zealand and reports back the current alert status for all of New Zealand’s volcanoes. I thought this might be useful for tourists visiting New Zealand and also for people living near or on the…

  • At last, acceptance at the App Store!

    At last my app got accepted into the app store. It’s called SoniaClock after my friend, Sonia. It does have a minor bug which I found last week but I didn’t want to remove the binary from the queue since it takes so long to get reviewed. If I remove it and fix the problem, I have…

  • Conversations with Elizabeth and I want an iphone

    Me: I love you Elizabeth. And we love Daniel. And we love Daddy. And we love Freud.Elizabeth: And we love the computer. That’s my girl. She’ll be programming iphone apps in no time. Speaking of iphone apps. I desperately *need* an iphone. It’s tricky learning how to program for the iphone when one is not…

  • A new feature for my app

    My clock app was rejected by Apple again. I was kind of expecting this since I really hadn’t added much in the way of features to it so I’ve been brewing another really cool feature which is now up and running. Now my app displays the time, day of week and the current alert status…

  • How many features does a clock need?

    Over the past year or so I’ve started teaching myself how to write apps for the ipod and iphone. I’ve made a couple of very simple ones which were accepted into the App store which is a feat in itself. I don’t know how many people know this but every single app is checked by…
