Unintended coincidence

2010/01/24

To be fair, the book is to appear in March 2010, so most likely the cover image is not ready yet. But I found lack of images for book whose main point is to make explanation illustrated quite ironical .

Cure for crashing FourSquare and RunKeeper on iPhone

2010/01/11

Few weeks ago, first Foursquare application and then my favorite RunKeeper app started to fail. The symptoms were simple: 1) attempt to start 2) wait for for 2-10 seconds 3) exit Analysis of the crash logs did not reveal anything obvious (see ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/NAME: What helped was to delete both applications from the phone, including data [...]

Attention is new currency

2010/01/05

Some companies just do not get it. It starts with an email, like this one: By coincidence, you are on project that has the CRM component so you decide to check it out and click on link. After all, it is free, right, so why wouldn’t you ? The catch is that it is not [...]

Here we go again

2009/12/30

This is reloaded version of my previous blog – or continuation of the fork. First thing to start is to explain why did I do something quite contra-productive as relocate the blog and loose all the audience – however small it could have been. It would seem that I like restarts and things reloaded. I [...]

Rogers, iPhone and the dreaded kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Error 302

2008/08/23

Many people recently (including myself) had experiences difficulties with Web access on the iPhone. Quite often the following error message pops up: Usually repeating the web page access helps. Sometimes you have to try third time or wait few minutes. This has nothing to do with signal strenght – as you can see, there are [...]

Linux vs Windows – great comparison

2008/08/22

I have been “living in a command line” for last few weeks. Pretty refreshing experience. As result, I had to google a lot, especially when it comes to e.g. subtle differences between tar options on Ubuntu Linux and Open Solaris … While doing that, I somehow stumbled upon this great writeup on cultural differences between [...]

2008/08/12

Does it work ? We’ll see – blogging from the train All the above – including the picture was created and posted on iPhone, using the WordPress Application (thanks to Peter K. to make me aware of it). I have not used it much, but the first impressions are certainly positive: it works and allows [...]

Gmail is down – Sky is falling ….

2008/08/11

This is what I get for last hour or so: It is so frustrasting when something taken for granted suddenly disappears … and at the same time quite scary how dependent we became on it. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for GMails early return

Irony of anti-spam site: selling spam tools

2008/08/11

There is great site 10 minute mail – which does exactly what it says. Provides you an email address that lives for 10 minutes and then evaporates. For this 10 minutes, you can read any email sent to it on the web page – and eventually renew it for another 10 minutes. Great way how [...]
