Dashcode & Widget development

A languorous Sunday is fodder for the developer within. Today I decided to give the much touted (and often brick-batted) Dashcode Widget development app a whirl. Dashcode can be downloaded as a part of the Xcode developers toolset from the ADC member website. The whole package is around 1.1

Feed aggregator for OS X - NewsFire

I have been trying of late to replace Firefox and/or Mail.app as my feed aggregators, with little luck. So desperate was I, that I pretty much resolved to program one myself. But before I could start, I decided to give it one more shot & search the interwebs

Simply Delish! Rissa and I decided to try out a Turkish dish this evening – Durum, to perhaps try and emulate the Durum we usually get in Aachen at the Berliner Grill. The endeavor was an unequivocal success! We didn’t manage to quite ape the Aachener taste, but instead we

Blog optimized for iPhone
