I’m going to change things here a little bit in the upcoming weeks. Recently, I found out what I want to do with this blog. John Sonmez of Simple Programmer is offering a free three-week e-mail course for starting to blog as a software developer. I subscribed to check out what other developers on the web do, and I have read his 6 e-mails and followed some of his advice. One particular e-mails made me think about my projects, what they mean to me, and how they relate to each other.
Users have reported update problems after they purchased the Word Counter for Mac.
I am aware of this issue. The easiest fix is to download the latest version (.zip, 2.3MB) yourself manually.
The version you got from the store cannot recognize more recent versions as valid, so it rejects the update. Maybe I can find a way to fix this on my side, soon. I pushed an update to the store already.
This is very unfortunate, and I’m very sorry for the trouble this has caused.
This is an excerpt of my book “Exploring Mac App Development Strategies”, on a sale right now! I learned that the “view model” in the architectural style of MVVM is a “model of the view” instead of a “model for the view”. Let me explain the difference and the benefits of being able to chose between both.
Here’s how I fixed the inter-process communication sample app called AppSandboxLoginItemXPCDemo by Apple to make it work. When I tried it out at first, sandboxing ruined the day. You have to change a few things in order to make it work.
I have a Zettelkasten project newsletter for a few years already, and it was featured on this site as I wrote about the topic.
Since my endeavors on this worklog/blog have shifted, I think it’s the right moment to offer a non-Zettelkasten newsletter for the folks interested in my projects, the programming books, and the software I develop.
The new project newsletter will be my premier place for project announcements and software beta invitations. A lot of you have helped already make the Word Counter better. There’ll be lots of opportunities to test software for free in the future. There’s a bunch of stuff in the making.
Apart from project updates, I’ll provide a convenient list of posts I have published on all my project websites since the previous issue so you don’t have to collect these, too.
Thanks for your support and for reading this blog! If you want to stay up to date and benefit from a much closer contact, sign up now.
UIStoryboardSegues are a blessing to add rudimentary navigation between view controllers in iOS projects. User interaction can trigger segues without any code. That’s all good and well to move back and forth between mostly static scenes in your Storyboard. Passing data around is not so easy, though, without making things more complicated.
