I think I am starting to get the hang of the changes Apple made to the official SDK…. some more fruits of my labor based on advice from Erik Bye, Mike Jefferson, and Patrick Santos (still a work in progress - but looks MUCH better then version 1 of iXboxLive for iPhone1)

Why doesn’t Xcode support tabs?  Come on Apple.

This is just a screenshot of iXboxLive 70% ported to the new iPhone firmware, still much left to do..

So this week I purchased a mountain bike:

I’ve been riding around the canal from Brighton to Pittsford with Pat, almost 7 miles each trip so far.  (I have been walking about 3 miles a day prior to buying the bike, but have always wanted a bike so it seemed a more entertaining way of exercising.  Plus  I get to feed my flickr account ;-))

Well it has been a significant amount of time since my last update — life has been rather hectic.  So what have I been up to?

• Finding a new place to live thats close to my new full time job
• Securing full time employment
• Finishing school projects
• Preparing graduation stuff…
• Preparing financial documents for student loan repayment..
• Discovering how broke I am
• Finish up projects at Thomson(Reuters)-West

If it’s not on the above list, then it is likely not a priority for me right now.  Unfortunately that means all my side projects (MobileTwitter) are on hold for a few weeks until everything settles down.

BlueTie

I have accepted a full time Software Engineering position with BlueTie Inc, and will start work June 2nd (promptly after graduating from RIT).  Not sure exactly what I am allowed to disclose about my position, but its mainly a hardcore JavaScript position  (which everyone knows…  I can’t live without a healthy dose JavaScript in my life.)

New Apartment!

Shortly before graduation I will be moving into my very new townhouse (located in Brighton/Pittsford NY).

Bug fixes:

[UI] [UpdateView] Any existing text in the status box is lost after uploading to twitpic (npike) - resolved.
[Core] [TwitPic] Selected image isnt the image being uploaded (npike) - resolved.

Clearly I am a very angry workaholic thats suffering from a lot of stress.

Updated to Wordpress 2.5 this afternoon without a hitch - not sure I like the new admin interface very much, I have grown quite used to the old one.

MobileTwitter 1.21 is available via my private repository or manually here.

This build contains some bug fixes and optimzations:

• Should now be able to correctly enter numbers in your username and password
• Application file size decreased
• Loading dialog will dismiss if there was an error connecting to Twitter

Its fixed, I think.
