SQLite for the iOS SDK, two years later
It's been two years since I first wrote on using SQLite for iPhone SDK. Since then, iOS has come a long way, especially when it comes to storing data. But still, much remains the same. For instance, FMDB is still a great way of accessing SQLite databases directly, and if you're most familiar with SQL and don't want to learn too much new stuff (learning Objective-C and Cocoa can be enough by itself), this is a great way to write your first apps.
Påskebryg - Ørbæk - Ecological
Next up is an ecological beer from Ørbæk.
Påskeæg - from Thisted Bryghus
As you might have noticed, I'm trying out different kinds of content on my blog lately. It's all stuff I love doing, just interesting trying out new stuff. Next up on "new ideas" is "easter ales 2011", where I thought I'd introduce this years crop of easter ale available in Danish supermarkets.
Cheap quality-lenses for Canon EOS DSLR cameras
In this first video blogpost I follow up on my two blogposts from 2005, I show you how easy it is to put a Pentax m42 mount lens, one of the most popular kind of lenses from the 1950s up until the late 1980s, on a Canon EOS DSLR body. Back in 2005 I used the EOS 20D, now I use the EOS 5DmkII, but it's just as easy.
BOSE Companion 5 Review
I've been looking for a great-looking and great-sounding speaker system for my Mac. And just so we're clear: great-sounding is for classical music, and I expect equal or better than my Celestion/NAD system I bought for ~10.000 NOK when I was 15. My problem has been that either the speakers filled too much in my office space (3.5 m2), and/or they looked really bad.
IRIScan 2 review
A while back I bought an IRIScan 2, a little scanner that could be laying in the kitchen drawer to scan incoming bills. It's not a very fast scanner, it doesn't have battery for very many pages, but for incoming mail, perhaps some music scores and such, it's quite good.
iPad 2 delivery status in Denmark
Like many of you, this morning I went on the Apple Store online and ordere my iPad 2. I've had a chat with many shop keepers today, both Eplehuset, Elgiganten and Humac. What seems to be the genereal consensus is that less than 10% of the iPads they had asked for have been delivered. So there is a major shortage. My idea was that Apple would prioritize their own channels, but my order from early this morning when they opened is scheduled for delivery in more than a month! So I guess I was wrong, and just like so many others I'll just have to wait...
Mis-update
Whoops, I seem to have killed my themes, plugins and uploads dir when upgrading... not good. So there might be some dead links that should have had content around. For that I apologize. I'll do my best to restore them, but should you discover anything missing while surfing around on my blog, do tell.
The state of SOAP on the iPhone
I've been developing apps for the iPhone since the early betas of iOS 2.0, and one of the things I'd like back then was to use SOAP services. Back then, Apple had an old, half-implemented command-line program called wsmakestubs that you could use to generate some stubs that half worked. That program has not been updated, nor has any more SOAP support been added to iOS itself.
Nice iPhone simulator theme
@adurdin has made a skin for the iPhone simulator that may wear less on your eyes when you're sitting there developing all day:
