Pardon The Interruption

I just moved this blog to a new server and some of you might have experienced outage. Please accept my apology as this won’t happen again, at least for a year…;)

iPhone App + Rails App

I think I mentioned that I was seriously thought about becoming the independent app developer on Cocoa several years ago… Well, I’ve been busy catching up on Obj-C 2.0 and iPhone SDK now that Apple got my money. You must be thinking, “hey, this blog is about Ruby and Rails, isn’t it?”

I’m actually developing an app for iPhone to support the web app I’m currently working on. I saw that writing an iPhone companion app actually promotes the main web app. For example, I had no idea what Evernote and Jotter was. I found these sites after I looked at their iPhone app. What a great way to promote a site!

Mac OS 10.5.4 Update Breaks My App!

It appears that Mac OS 10.5.4 update I did on my machines breaks a Rails app that I’m working on. Granted, it’s still on Rails 1.2.3 and uses all kinds of experiments (I didn’t do it, not most of it anyways), this shouldn’t be happening. I isolated the problem to XML (ReXML) and should be resolved once I move to libxml. I know, what was I thinking, I should’ve done that months ago. It’s the price of laziness I guess.
