Thirtydaychallenge.tv is (a)live!

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Good old Ed Dale is back with thirtydaychallenge.tv.
URL redirects you to http://www.justin.tv/eddale where you can see past live shows footage, and watch new live as it happens. Ed found yet another way of reaching the masses in a such a cool way. The great thing is that anybody can do it with a single computer and a webcam.

The only thing you need to figure out is what to say to your viewers, and Ed is doing a great job in sharing valuable info on Internet Marketing. He spoke about upcoming Thirty Day Challenge 2008, cool software tools for video broadcast such as CamTwist for Mac. A few shameless promotions of his and his buddy’s IM programs didn’t hurt, the rest is just a pure 100% Internet Marketer inspiration.

Live shows are on each week, and if you want to be informed when is the next one, you can sign up to thirtydaychallenge.com newsletter.

I warmly recommend it!

IPhone SDK failed to mount error

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

As you already know, Apple has released Iphone SDK earlier this month. It is available for free download at http://adcdownload.apple.com/iphone/iphone_sdk/iphone_sdk.dmg but it seems that many users are having trouble mounting the dmg disk image after download. It just says ‘failed to mount’. After redownloading the same error persists. Apparently there is a cached version of the 2.1GB file that is corrupted, and if you’re outside the US, it’s most likely that you will be affected by this error. The temp solution is to download the same file from torrent: http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4066811/iPhone_SDK

EDIT: Apparently, the new revised SDK is now available for download from Apple, so hopefully the case is closed.

Moved to Macbook Pro, officially

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Ladies and Gentleman, Girls and Boys, I have finally and officially moved to my new Macbook Pro. I have had it since January, and moved from my PC almost 2 months later. I couldn’t get a hold of Mac OSX fr quite a while, and now I think I’m beginning to like it.

I, as a programmer, couldn’t afford to transfer to MAC immediately and waste time learning OSX as I go, so it took me a while to explore and understand the OSX.
Once I was used to not having both my backspace and delete key, and not being able to move around the text using my usual Win keyboard shortcuts - learned the OSX way, I begun to feel like being at home. You don’t get all the tools right from the box, and after learning from other users’ experience, I’ve installed Quicksilver, Witch, Little Snitch, muCommander and some other apps that made my work flow uninterrupted.
So far it’s cool. The only thing that bugs me is windows clutter, and I’m trying to find my style of work using the Expose and Spaces. Oh, I must mention the Parallels app! It’s just too cool. It allowed me to install WinXP for IE 6 & 7 debugging. The only thing I miss is the ability to install 64 bit Vista, but managed to do so using the bot camp.
Now I have all the things that I need. We’ll see in a while will the Mac earn the right to have it’s nice apple sticker supplied with Macbook Pro on the back window of my car! :)
