ubd wanted to connect to windows.net, so I looked it up, and it belongs to Ubiquity.framework, that is a part of the iCloud integration. Hmm...

Quick plug: my wife, Christina, just started her first blog, about our cat: Silver. Visit Silverkat and follow her blogging journey and our cat 
My build setup
Tomorrow I begin work at Trifork! There I'll be doing iOS development, so before I begin I thought I'd like to share a bit about how I do my development now.
Steve Jobs biography
I'm such a sucker: now I've bought the Steve Jobs biography for Kindle, to be delivered tomorrow. I hope the book is great. I borrowed my last book of the kind to someone, but I don't know who. 
Play 2.0
It's great seeing that Play 2.0 is on its way. Play is my favorite Scala playground, but it's always felt like a second class citizen there. With 2.0, it's a first class Citizen, and they've even thrown Akka into the mix. So, as with anything I'm especially interested in, I've signed up to submit two bugreports.

The buying a computer experience
My inlaws' computer hard drive died the other day, so I offered to help them buy a new Windows computer at the local shop. The specs were easy: Windows, Core i5, 4GB RAM and ~500GB drive.
The economy
It is curious how the economy is described bad all over the place, yet the tech sector is growing and growing. The mobile phone app business is exploding, and Google today announced a 33% jump in revenue to $9.72 billion. This disconnect has been going on for a while, and doesn't seem to have much of an end. Tech just isn't stopping to watch governments that overspend struggle or bankers who made arrogant bets sweat.
