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 →

San Francisco, San Jose, 360iDev, iPadDevCamp, etc.

Posted on April 21, 2010 by Kalle

I’ve been spending the last week or two absorbing information at a pace I’m very much not used to. 360iDev was very informative. Sort of like an ultra-condensed university course without obligatory courses. A lot of really cool people were … Continue reading →

GameCube fun.

Posted on June 26, 2007 by Kalle

The midsummer weekend I ended up spending at my buddy’s place, playing GameCube games. I started out by wasting the Friday playing Resident Evil 4 which, in contrast to Eternal Darkness, pretty much sucked. A retarded story, the same old … Continue reading →

Democracy Player.

Posted on June 2, 2007 by Kalle

If you like YouTube and such, Democracy Player is totally awesome. Like a TiVo without the flaws and DRM and such. Total “coo” factor. It’s available for linux/mac/windows. If you haven’t tried it out, do so!
