Good times at the micro.blog meetup
Xcode is gaining Swift Package Manager support for apps. This is huge!
I really want to play around with SwiftUI in Scorebook. I’m hoping to learn how it will make my life easier in building my side projects.
Watching the WWDC keynote next to the big show, at AltConf. Super excited to see what Apple brings us today!
Landed in San Jose! It’s gonna be a super fun, packed week. I’m gonna miss my family like crazy through it all too.
I’m constantly amazed when I put something on the ceiling and it stays there. The first couple of days I have it in the back of my head that things will come crashing down. Thankfully they haven’t yet!
Did the podcast interview this afternoon, and I think it went well! The conversation seemed to go by quickly and it was a lot of fun. I hope this is the first of many future podcasts I’m able to do.
I got asked to do a podcast the other day and we record tomorrow. Any tips for a first-timer? Im pretty nervous but excited. I’ve been wanting to do a podcast all year.
Sketch is one of those apps that I really would like to be good at using (especially for this Scorebook update I’m working on), but I get super intimidated by it when I start learning it. Designing UI is hard, and it’s a super heavy (and powerful) app to boot.
Whenever I see a Storyboard in Interface Builder that has a super simple interface (like just a table view pinned to the edges), I immediately consider removing the scene and adding the needed views in code. It really simplifies things for me.
I’m rethinking the Scorebook home screen, mostly to figure out a good way to get it up to iPad. This is leading to me investigating UISplitViewController for the first time.
First thought: It’s super weird to have a viewControllers array to set up master-detail.
New outlet installed and up and running. Pandemonium averted in the house as we have restored internet service. Early morning victories FTW!
Turns out our ONT box’s power is out because the main outlet in the garage blew out. So it’s an early morning Home Depot trip for me. Thank the Lord they are open so early!
Woke up to a Frontier FIOS internet outage. Good times!
The Mariners are 12-2! Truly unreal start to the season.
These are some blazing fast 5Ge speeds I’m seeing. So glad they decided to rebrand their LTE network on iOS 12.2.
I think my second favorite thing about writing my Scorebook 1.6 retrospective was that I hadn’t written tag support into Maverick yet so I couldn’t link all my old posts in one URL.
It was a lot of fun putting that together. I really love having my own blog engine 🙂
The Seattle @xcoders are looking for a speaker for our meeting next Thursday (3/14). Get in touch if you want to give a talk!
Who says you shouldn’t ship an update on a Friday? Scorebook 1.6 is here!
This is the sync update I’ve been working on for a long time. I’ll have a retrospective blog post coming in the next few days. It feels so good to get it out the door!
Every time I have to “renegotiate” my deal with a telco (in my case it’s Frontier FiOS) I feel like I’m getting screwed with my pants on. Their introductory rates for new customers are merely a gateway to charge more later on when you become a “loyal” customer.
