Sometimes when I am feeling a little obsessed with something. I wonder where I stand on some kind of scale relative to other people. Today I wonder, what FedEx package has had the most hits on its tracking page.
I finally actually finished an iPhone app and put it in the store. Its pretty simple but solves a problem I actually had. I am a big user of Evernote and but thier iPhone client is pretty clunky for editing todo lists. Nimbulist (app store link) lets you do this quickly with what I think is the minimal number of required touches.
If you are in this hell:

Saw this on a ride recently.

What exactly is GOD charging these days for Freedom?
If you stop to ask directions from people carrying shotguns (in this case security people walking along the road), they may ask you for a ride if they do, Its probably going to end up that you have people with shotguns in the back seat of your car for a while. For me at least it worked out this time but I may not pick people with guns to ask for directions again.
Starts after the plane lands.
just starting an 11 day trip to el Salvador with optional side trip to Guatemala. Writing this using the neighbors’ wifi from my friends house here in auachapan. Flights we all good and I’m looking forward to heading to sonsonate tomorrow.
Hopefully there will be better photos then too.
Btw. Something I learned recently. Here they lock your cell phone to a sim card the old schooll way. They glue it.

Heading back to El Salvador for 11 days tomorrow. Been looking forward to this trip for a while. I hope to post some updates here.
Nothing new here. But the visuals are pretty striking to me:
The 1990s

The 2000s

Its just so hard to resist when you can buy a laser and have it shipped to you from around the world for 0.89.
Every day these temptations enter my inbox. How can I be expected to resist?
I don’t even know what it means by Banknote checking…
I am trying to learn Objective C and trying to love it rather than hate it but its not always easy.
Lets say you want to concatenate a couple of strings A and B.
After some googling I found the solution wasn’t:

or even:
[A concatenate: B]
but rather:
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", A,B]
Really?
And this was listed as the “nicer” solution.
