One thing I understood clearly using ARC, is memory management. Strange, I admit, because this never happen to me back in retain/release old school method. But in some way this semi-auto-powerfull-Icountforyousoyoudon’thaveto technology helped me to use more and more often Instruments to watch for object Allocations. In this new project I’m working, I’m using Cocos2D, [...]
Oh my dear Blog!
Our team talking about our company, our work, our clients and each other.
Notify
Well, it seems that I’m mastering APNS (push notifications). Its actually quite cool and it gives you lot of potentials. The only limitation is the payload max bytes to send extra infos, but at the end, 256 bytes are enought to send a good amount of infos. 512 bytes would be nice, let’s see if [...]
ECG
My brain misteriously decided to shut off, I wonder if its because I try to apply rules of abstract coding over the rules of the universe [!] clip of the day: 2010 – The year we made contact “Hal voice test”
Randomly non-sense
After insert more than 7000 records by hand into a database for a client my brain goes blank… Cold fusion or just brain fused? tune of the day Crystal Castles “Cry babies”
Code cleaning
I’m always in the search of the perfect code, the one that is good to read, clean, easy to understand. Rules can be apply to it (from Apple guidelines and Google Guidelines too), but I’m never satisfacted with the results. Time to create my own coding language? Maybe… A.I. approacing ^_^ tune of the day [...]
Abstract
What is abstract? Code without form or a form without code? I always try to implement code that is fully dynamic, never bounded to anything, reusable, but at the end, code is always written and problems raise. Form without code, goal succeded ^_^ tune of the day Tyco “Human condition”
Windows Phone, RIM, Windows 8 are still not worth to support
According to a report out yesterday from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, with 0.7% and 4.1% of total sales in the US, RIM and Windows platforms may still not be worth the effort to support for your next project. Same goes for the Windows 8 app store. The latest OS from Microsoft still has less then 4% of [...]
In the begin there was …
NSLog(@”Hello world!”); This, for many, it is the begin of everything. Well, [geekly] speacking. But I had to start with something. Coding is great, good, makes your life better, it’s like a daily vitamin pill. The downside? Permanent neck and shoulder pain ^_^ tune of the day: Kraftwerk “Computer Love”
Mac OS X 10.7.3 with Xcode 4.3: This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of the OS.
We have a few Mac applications on which we need to enable the Lion sandbox and resubmit to the Mac App Store (Mac, not iOS). I already applied the combo update 10.7.3 and after that I started getting this error: “This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of [...]
Kindle Fire first impressions
Santa brought us a cool gift this year: a Kindle Fire tablet. At a first glance we were astonished: “Why?! We’ve been good boys through the whole year. Why are being punished?”. It’s not and iPad, but ok. Heh, just kidding… I couldn’t lose the opportunity. What can you expect from Apple fanboys? Ok, seriously. [...]

Hello Brasilia!
Brasilia is the capital of Brazil (did you really think it was Rio or Buenos Aires?), and is located right in the middle of the Country. The city, curiously, was built in only five years (well, good part of it) and its structure has the shape of an airplane. I could cite a lot more [...]
HP TouchPad sold out, but WebOS has a not-so-bright future ahead.
In my opinion, WebOS was extremely promising, but a couple years late. If HP acquired palm 12 months earlier they would have had better chances. I had a nice brief discussion about the HP TouchPad and WebOs the day the news came out. It was just very clear to me that WebOS and the TouchPad [...]
