Searching the web how normally it takes for Apple to approve an application and the usual answer I get is 2 weeks. I’ve been waiting for one week already. One more week to go. Can’t wait. Apple, hurry up! 😀

Message Scrambler
I’ve created a new blog site for my first iPhone app – Message Scrambler. It looks like when submitting an application to Apple, developers are required to have a “support site” for the application. I created this site as my “support site” and also to give more information/updates about the application.
Hello OS4
After much contemplation, I decided to update my iPhone OS from version 3.1.3 to 4.0 Beta. The process seems to be pretty straightforward and I can easily restore my everything (except the firmware) using iTunes. Hopefully, there are not that many bugs in the firmware as it appears we cannot restore back to an earlier…
Why Subclass When You Can Categorize
Recently, I’ve been trying to subclass NSString and add a method that I’ll be using in my application. After reading “Categories” by John Muchow, I decided to use categories. Instead of creating a new class, I would just add methods to an existing class. Here is a simple example adding a newFunction to NSString. In…
Twittering
Ever wondered why I haven’t blogged for more than two months now? I’ve been twittering.
Back to Reality
I’ve done it! I’ve gotten rid of my addiction (!) to all these social networking sites! I’ve gotten rid of Friendster a few months ago and now, I think I’ve started getting rid of Facebook and Twitter. For a while there, all I did was check (spy) on people, look at pictures, reply to statuses…
Second Childhood
On March 24th, I ordered two PlayStation 3 games from Play-Asia. The same day, I received an email saying my games were dispatched already from their Hong Kong center. Free delivery to anywhere in Japan. Today, March 31st, I got the games. One week of waiting may be a little too long but I guess…
My Favorite Social Networking Tool
I’ve tried a lot of social networking tools – Blogger, Friendster, Facebook, Multiply, and more recently,Twitter. They all have their unique features that allowed me to socialize and to network. In the end though, I realized I have one favorite. And no, it’s not Blogger. It’s coffee. Nothing beats a good conversation with a friend…
YouTube Overdose
Just realized I’ve been watching too many YouTube videos. My counter is at 6666, a very good number. I’m not watching any videos for a while just to keep that number. If only I was paid a dollar for every video I watch… In my defense, this number also includes all the views from people…
Facebook Is The New Friendster
And I didn’t mean that in a positive way. Not at all. I used to love Friendster. It allowed me to keep in touch with friends I haven’t seen in years. All was well until people started customizing the colors and backgrounds of their profiles to the point that they became unreadable. People started sending…
Transmission vs BitTorrent
On my Mac, I’ve been using the BitTorrent client for a while and noticed every time I start downloading anything, my internet connection crawls to a halt. This is maybe the reason why I lost interest in torrents and thought they are not worth the effort. And then there was Transmission. It’s small, it’s simple…
