admin 25 Nov 2009 at 00:46Just figured out a cool .css-Hack, that makes clever use of class-selectors and css-display-property:
.iphonehide hides elements with display:none on the iPhone. Selector .iphoneshow hides the element by default (on the web), but shows it on the iPhone (only) by overriding display:none with display:inline.
admin 02 Nov 2009 at 02:30Making plans to optimize lifestream-view for iPhone. Here is a little how-to.

020200 14 Jul 2010 at 14:12A UISegmentedControl with custom color
020200 12 Jul 2010 at 18:42Messed around a lot with the Three20 Framework and decided against it. Most of the things really feel like "reinventing the wheel" - opposed to enhancing UIKit. The documentation is also far away from being great.
020200 11 Jul 2010 at 19:29Finally a great answer, that explains all about the issues with viewWillAppear and viewDidAppear.
020200 26 Jun 2010 at 17:57Deploy Apps (Binaries) for different targets, supporting also older OS without having troubles with the linker.
020200 25 Jun 2010 at 21:40Very helpful reading, if strange EXC_BAD_ACCESS errors occur, for example if using "objectWithString" initalisation. Or having jams with the SBJSON-Object at the JSON-libary.
020200 22 Jun 2010 at 15:12Remove whitespaces and other character-sets with NSCharacter.
020200 21 Jun 2010 at 13:51A nice way to fade the splash-screen (Default.png).
020200 15 Jun 2010 at 14:36Some custom Color Picker / Selector for iPhone / iPod.
020200 15 Jun 2010 at 14:16Code-example "Get color at x, y"
020200 15 Jun 2010 at 14:14The iPhone icon size is 57 x 57 pixels. Spotlight searches return a 29 x 29 pixels icon. Both like .png.
020200 07 Jun 2010 at 14:48iPhone: Working with different environments (i.e. production, development) using debug and release setting with pre-compiled header.
020200 15 May 2010 at 00:56Nerdy Programming Jargon: Programmers inside-jokes.
020200 11 May 2010 at 20:33Lessen learned: I spend hours, if not days, messing around with disappearing instance-variables, that I kept reusing. Or also a UIActivityIndictor that sometime won't hide, although it should (sometimes yes, sometimes no). The scope of this variables was defined local in the @implementation-section. After putting the vars into the @interface, and adding @property and @synthesize methods, all issues were solved. I think, it's got something to do with the lack if retain on my first approach.
