I started university the end of August this year. I’m a late bloomer, what can I say. I like it, though. Wish I’d done this something like 10 years earlier. I’m so happy I live in this country, where it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on September 19, 2010 by Kalle

The equivalent of ‘toString’ in Objective-C.

Posted on June 1, 2010 by Kalle

If you’ve ever wondered if there’s a convenient way in Objective-C to write a function for “expressing” the value of an object of yours, as a string, just like “toString” in e.g. JavaScript (and Java? I think), I’ve got good … Continue reading →

Tackling spam.

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Kalle
