Here is how you can create a toolbar at the bottom of your screen. (with code taken from the UICatalog sample)UIToolbar *bar = [UIToolbar new]; bar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque; // size up the toolbar and set its frame [bar sizeToFit]; CGFloat toolbarHeight = [bar frame].size.height; CGRect mainViewBounds = self.view.bounds; //view …
I have recieved my dbs security device or whatever you call it. Initial usage was no problem but when I tried to use it just now there's no display, suspected the battery went flat on me. However there's no instruction on how to change the battery (don't want to try and force it open, penalty charges remember) , don't expect me to go and exchange for a new one DBS.. I don't …
Hi all,As promised more posts. Here is the sales figure for 5 days so far. Total downloads: 100 Commision paid to me: USD $1.4 per sales Estimated profits: USD $140Majority of the sales comes from USA. Second most downloaded region is Japan (pretty surprised considering I did no localization). Third coming in is Great Britain.So no, you can't survive on iPhone apps …
Was chatting with a long time friend. She mentioned something about her becoming more and more pessimistic after some bad things happening to her. Not sure about all of you but for me I was born a pessimistic person therefore I joined the IT line. It suits me well to be in the IT line, in my humble opinion for whatever role whatever system you are in, you should always be …
Was 'debugging' this for few hours, nothing more than not reading the documentations carefully. I needed to create a forward declaration of a class A in my class B as I would need to access some properties in class A.However when compiling XCode was complaining to me about 'error: request for member in something not a structure or union'. Cracked my brain, tried rewriting my …
Yes after all the wait and frustrations finally my first iPhone app is up! Of course there are some gotchas again. Most importantly for your W-8BEN submission the ITIN number is not really required, key in 000000000 also for item 9 select first and second checkbox, leave 10 empty as singapore have no tax treaty with the states. This got me for a while...trying to apply for …
Having seen the zune player from MS, I would say that I like the wireless feature the best. However I would think that It could be better done. I would suggest MS to put an LCD display panel along the ear phone wire. This panel would display whether you are willing to share songs with other people, it could be done maybe with just simple colour codes. e.g. red for no i'm not …
I have been developing in MS Access for a while now, roughly 1 year and counting, at the same time I’m also an avid fan of open source software. I’m especially interested in open office as an replacement for MS Access where money would be an issue i.e third world countries without the ability to ...
With the new vista here in singapore, guess it's really time that the local application developers shower some love on their icons. The new vista theme makes everything that's old look so out of place. On my desktop only the firefox and VLC icons looks acceptable.Guess with the exposure to such nice eye candies, customers here or globally would start to demand for better …
在这个地方活了这麽多年, 只有如此的想法,“我都是像那些疆尸片里的疆尸般的‘活‘着“。我和疆尸们的共同点真的是太多太多了. 首先我就只能听从道士的铃声, 随之而去. 道士要你去哪你就跳到哪. 社会大众要你做个听话的赚钱机器, 你就得做个赚钱的机器.常常看到那些戏里面的道士在片头就忙着赶路, 不过就从没有任何一片会让你看到那道士和疆尸们抵达目的地. 中途就被超强的疆尸魔王给宰 …
This post is more for entrepreneurs who have too much time on their hands. I'm very interested in doing a series of podcast interviewing IT entrepreneurs in Singapore. Would like to have a feel whether there are people who are interested to join me/get interviewed by me. I like to communicate with people (I think I do), I think I shouldn't waste my talents in talking to …
Sorry for the lack of updates so far, have been catching up with my old friends and ex-colleagues. My contract ends soon at the end of the year. Been doing a lot of procurement and administrative stuffs. Having a great time off for my brain.And it was during this 'time off' period that I'm able to decide what my next project should be. Am thinking about creating an online …
How time flies. It's going to be 2007 soon, time for a review of what I did for this year. Also whats a review without some predictions of the trends of the market for next year. Market as in the web applications space. (Will keep in mind to edit the predictions as often as possible)Professionally I'm pretty satisfied with my improvements. Was able to learn new stuffs, most …
Just an add on to the previous post, still remember the superstar project manager that I had? Well for the SSE project we did encountered one error, all the team members was not able to solve it, we kept getting the dreaded "illegal operations" error and none too friendly information..The project manager was able to come save the day, he went through the memory dump (a skill …
Time for a quick post. Had been reading a lot of other people's code for my freelance gig. It's difficult to write good code but it's really much much more tedious to write good code that everyone can understand and maintain easily.Every developer certainly has their own style of writing codes. For example in the codes that I've been reading lately, my mind just can't seem …
不知道为何,在这里总是没办法毫无压力的走在街道上,休闲的漫步。其他行人步行的步伐也太快了吧,再来就是得让路给自行车,连想欣赏路边野花都没机会。另外最让我心烦的就是街道在视觉上太过繁忙,真的会使人心烦气躁。十分怀念汶莱街道的简洁,抬头一望那无云的一片天,真的能让你忘却烦恼。这里呢就太多太多了,红绿灯啦树木啦车站啦。就连驾车人士都会不耐烦,可能是当他们在等红绿灯时看到太多东西在 …
Oh my, have a look at this scrybe web application. It certainly gives us a taste of what web 2.o can really be. Wonder how they do the offline synching though. My guess would be storing the changes using cookies. In any case history has shown us that maybe it's not the best technology that wins. So we shall see whether this takes off or not, or will it end up being auctioned …
It been a while since my last post. Sorry as I have certainly been very busy. Having to take on responsibilities really took me more time to get used to the job. One thing for sure is that it encourages me more to really be on my own, getting back to the 'cubicle nation' is really dreadful and taking a toll on my spirit.Of course I'm learning the skills that would be needed …
Out of topic post but as seen from a booklet on NDP...really does sums it up. However do thinks it's a message crying for help and the helplessness..
"You are as valuable as the time you are on TV." Nice quote from johan cruyff, which describes the current increase in web applications. The application who has most attention from the media would eventually win out.
