Getting the most out of WordPress, Windows, and Technology
I switch between the command line and a GUI tool called SourceTree to manage my Git repositories. When I first installed git-flow, I noticed that the readme talked about command line completion. It took me a while to get around to installing it, but I have to say that it is really impressive.
Git and git-flow [...]
I’ve been attending the iPhone Developers Conference in Seattle hosted by Voices That Matter (check out VTM_iPhone for the Twitter stream), which has been really informative. Easily the most informative session at the iPhone Developers Conference for me was Defensive Programming in Cocoa by Mike Ash. On Mike’s blog he has a series called Friday [...]
I spent more time than I wanted installing Gerrit on our Snow Leopard Server at work so that we could streamline code reviews. I’ve found dealing with diffs in email to be rather inconvenient, so I’m hoping that Gerrit will be a big help.
As I went through the process of installing Gerrit, I hit a [...]
There are times with any source control system that changes are committed after which you realize that you made a mistake and need to make a quick change. In those cases, it seems pretty silly to keep the history for both those commits.
Git supports collapsing commits natively with the git rebase command. This command provides more [...]
I still feel like a noob on a Mac even though I’ve been working professionally on one for almost 9 months. Today I needed to copy files from one Mac to another and I wanted to do that all from the command line. One way to do that is to use the mount command. Here [...]
I’ve been developing an iPhone app on my job at INRIX that uses MapKit and have run into a number of interesting issues. One in particular baffled me for some time, and it turns out to be (or at least appear to be) a bug in MKMapView.
The app displays traffic on a map, and on [...]
I stumbled upon a couple of really good iPhone utilities for the Mac and PC from Macroplant – iPhone Explorer and Phone Disk. These apps allow you to see what is on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad – pretty cool. They’re not quite as useful if the device isn’t jail-broken, but they’re still useful.

I’m now developing iPhone apps at work which means developing on a Mac. It’s quite a shift from Windows, so I’ve been spending time learning the ins and outs to become comfortable with the platform.
One of the things I discovered is that the Dock doesn’t provide a way in the UI to add spacers (dividers) [...]
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately debugging web services and I’ve been getting frustrated with the client timing out on me, so I finally buckled down and figured out how to prevent it.
Web Services consist of two parts – a client and a server. The client is implemented as a class derived from [...]
I’m one of the few developers at my company that is using Windows 7. Most of the projects in the solution I am working with are C#, but some are C++. Periodically I get the following error building every single source file in the C++ project on my machine:
fatal error C1859: ‘Debug\MyProject.pch’ unexpected precompiled header [...]
