My cousin Kelly Spanik) has a nice travel blog that she’s had for some time now. However, she is about to embark on a dream of hers. Reading her post about taking action instead of merely keeping a dream in her head and thinking fondly about has inspired me. The posts here are not recently, …
As developers, it’s part of our job to code and design aspects of an ask. A prototype, a full application, a module for another developer, and more. While doing this, it’s easy to forget what transpired last week that caused changes (unless you have a scrum master). Someone might have questions about certain aspects of …
Good morning everyone. I’ve had my Huel this morning after about an hour in the refrigerator. I’m not quite sure that three scoops and about 600ml is enough for me. It’s quite thin. Less water might be the ticket. I need some coffee at some point this morning too. The weather today in Holliston is …
I am currently using Huel. I am a very strong proponent of Huel. For a long time, I wished I could order it – as the FDA did not approve it’s sale in the United States – until very recently. Before Huel was available in the United States, I was using bottled Soylent (regular and …
iOS allows each application to monitor up to 20 regions. That seems like a lot, especially when you figure that the regions are registered and can be triggered (entry and exit) even while your app is backgrounded or your phone is on standby. So what do you do when you have more than 20? iOS …
I have long envied those living in parts of the world where Huel could be delivered. For a very long time, Huel could not ship to the United States because of some FDA work that needed completed first, shipping location that made monetary sense, etc. But I happened to stumble upon their site and found …
Some very minor predictions of mine for WWDC17 There will be barrels of Odwalla juice again. I haven’t been to WWDC in a few years due to coming up empty on the lottery – but I have always liked when Apple did that in the past. If you’re peckish between sessions, a quick grab is …
If you’d like to detect a long press on a UIButton or just for a view that has no buttons – it’s pretty easy. There is one simple gotcha, however. You’ll trigger your selector twice. Once when detected (down on the glass pad Apple TV remote), and again on the pad’s release. So you’ll need …
It’s almost time for WWDC17, this year in San Jose, CA instead of San Francisco. I haven’t been in several years because my lottery skills are obviously lacking. I managed to score one this year and I’m pretty excited. What will I take this year? Well, to be honest, taking a laptop to sessions in …
I am currently working on something that will display time in different time zones. However, you need to compare the user’s current time versus those at the target time zones to be accurate. This is what I figured out. It’s easy to get the user’s local time.
