Every time I go searching for something Cocoa-related when developing for the Mac or iPhone, I wind up mired in the depths of a billion morons that decided they were going to re-post Apple’s documentation to the web.
Thanks, jackasses. You’ve made Google useless for anyone trying to figure out if someone else is also having problems with -[AVAudioRecorder averagePowerForChannel:]...

BBC World News on September 28 aired a segment from … Uvalde, TX. And played mariachi. And talked about KBH.
It’s surreal.

Could Apple have made iPhone development any more complicated? Forcing apps to be signed with a very specific certificate that randomly breaks on me simply isn’t enough of a hinderance. Perhaps if they made it to where you could only develop when the sun is near its daily epoch I might be more discouraged to work with the device…

What poor graphic designer was held at gunpoint and forced to do this job? The “flowing script” at the top is just too much.
I expire in several years. I hope it’s back to something that someone with self-respect would carry by then, but I doubt it.
It just looks like someone ran over a gay pride parade with a steamroller.
Overheard at HEB
Woman: The things we disagree on I don't think we should ever discuss because it will never change.

Writing, for a change
The turnaround is kind of funny. I started writing on Livejournal a long time ago, moved to my own site in ‘01, changed apps a few times, then realized that while I kept thinking I wanted “control” over everything, the more I had, the less I wrote.

Ash decided the end of his bath was a perfect time to pee tonight. Fantastic timing, kiddo.
The look of glee was hilarious.

Bring back the wetness!
