Solipsistic Meanderings » 2009

There's a tweet making the rounds "How to make a profit as an iPhone game developer" – by a company which says, "Bring your game to us" >> #
<< The only people making a profit there will be the company doing the tweeting in the first place 🙂 #
Looked at Twit Menulet as a way to do longer tweets on Twitter but the app stopped responding while I was typing a tweet. That's out then 🙂 #
I might just have to review "Birdie" but not try to be a full-blown Twitter client this time around … I mean for long tweets. Afterall, >> #
<< I do have the long tweet functionality in "Birdie" already …. #
OK, done with the new "Birdie" with long tweets. I think I'll use that from now on for tweeting and Seesmic for all the other stuff 🙂 #

I need to try out a few services which allow longer tweets – I have so much to say at the moment that the 140 character limit prevents 😀 #
Hmm … two possible options for long Tweets – Twitlonger and TinyPaste. I like each one for different reasons. Twi (cont) http://tl.gd/rdh5 #
The code for iPhone in-app purchasing is pretty easy. But the process to test everything? Convoluted!!!! #
iPhone in-app purchase code is very, very simple once you get the actual process (and testing) set up. Finally got my app to work in test! #

Who is SMonte? I've seen them for job postings in Pakistan as well as Brazil. Somebody from there also once said they'd contact me but nada. #
Sometimes in this day of the global village, it's difficult to know who you're dealing with and whether they're actually real – or scammers. #
The iPhone eco-system is weird – people who don't mind plonking down $50 for games elsewhere complain about paying $4.99 for a game there. #

Haven't had the time to work on the iPhone game I'm developing since day-before-yesterday. Hate that because I'm enjoying the work 🙂 #
If the iPhone is Steve Job's greatest gift to the software developer, the app store is his greatest curse on the same developer 🙂 #
Apparently iPhone devs from the Indian region don't know their worth because some guy just offered me US$4.50 per hour to do dev work 😀 #

Interesting – guy on GetAFreeLancer wants me to change my bid to the minimum amount or he will delete my bid. So they only want low bids? #

If you DM me, it had better be something important/useful. If you send me junk via DM just because I'm following you, then I unfollow 🙂 #

It's a weird thing but I can usually tell the region a person is from based on their English – especially when it's the Indian sub-continent #
Saw somebody who had a Twitter list called "dudes-babies" and I knew he meant "babes" and that he's from this region 😀 #
In other news, developing games with cocos2D is an actual pleasure! Sooooo much better than development with iTGB. Just sayin' 🙂 #
Stargate Universe – "Everyone's lying!" … "Yeah, grownups sometimes do that!". If they were actually "grown up", they shouldn't lie at all #
