Oh, and you may have seen via the twitter update, but Apple has approved KBAR Apps and so we take the next step towards submitting our first application. It’s a very exciting time for us all. I’ll try to keep you updated as we move forward.

Rough draft of our logo. I needed some time to think about sqllite queries and so I turned to an image editor an went to town. As a rough first pass I think it isn’t too bad.[gallery link="file"]

Last night my sister-in-law managed to lock herself outside of her house and couldn’t wake up her family inside.

I jokingly sent her this xkcd cartoon. http://xkcd.com/530/

Then I started wondering if it was possible to set the system volume from the command line.

The answer: Yes! Yes it is.

sudo osascript -e "set Volume 10"

This is what I get for coding too much.

A few months ago my contract ended. It was in the heart of the holiday season and with our economy experiencing some growing pains there just wasn’t much work to be found. So I did what I did last time the economy turned down, I started my own company. This time I’ve got a great business partner (my wife, Angela). We are working hard on getting some product in your hands soon. Apple willing and if my brain doesn’t burst from learning a new language (I’m looking at you Objective C) then we should be on the road to making mortage payments with the fruits of our own labors.

Meanwhile I’ll keep you in the technical and business loop around this process as we go. Its pretty exciting to be in this role again. I’m looking forward to seeing where this journey takes us to next. I’ll try to keep focused on what it is like to be a small iphone developer and hopefully start a nice conversation around the products we will be releasing. We don’t have any actual release dates or product descriptions yet, but as we move forward this will be the place to check.
