Time Machine Meltdown
Well this is unfortunate...
No more iPhone development for me
I've decided to stop developing for the iPhone, at least for now. Apple's recent actions regarding app approvals are insane, and I don't want to waste months developing an application and then have Apple randomly deny it without a good reason. It's just not worth it. My iPhone ADC account expires in a few weeks -- I won't be renewing it.
Apple's really screwed the pooch the past few weeks. Forcing any app that has any web content to mark itself as "Extreme Adult Concepts, Extreme Terror Concepts, Extreme Violence" ... the Google Voice debacle... the Preview token issue... Coupled with AT&T's bullshit -- "MMS will be available this summer" -- I'm just about done with the iPhone platform. more...
Stuff that doesn't work with Snow Leopard (yet)
I've finally found some programs that don't work properly with Snow Leopard. I'm sure these issues will be fixed before the final release in September, but it does show that some very big changes were made to the underlying architecture in 10.6 that will likely cause some problems once it goes out. more...
Mac OS X + Bonjour + Apache = Developer Bliss
I always forget about Bonjour. It's one of those neat little Apple technologies that would really make the world a better place if more systems supported it.
What is it?
In a nutshell, Bonjour lets your computer see all available services on all other computers in your local network. This information doesn't go out on the internet (although there is a thing called Wide Area Bonjour which I haven't looked into much yet).

Clearing the Mail.App "Recently Sent" address list on Mac OS X Leopard
Over the past few months, several of my friends have changed their email addresses. Even though I updated the address in my Address Book, the old address still shows up when I try to write an email -- autocomplete pulls up the old address. So how the hell do I delete those old addresses?
This is one of those stupid little annoyances that I've been trying to find an answer to.. and like most Apple things, the solution is glaringly obvious. more...
