Skatr update11.11.08

So I was taking a look at some of my old projects and I decided that I would like to continue with some of them well at least one of them. Which is my Skateboarding Spots site. I have my great ideas for it, its just that I don’t always have time and when I do have time it always wants me to do something else. So, in all seriousness I’m going to rewrite skatr.us in ruby with the Merb framework.

Days writing Cocoa / Objective-C10.04.08

I don’t write Cocoa / Objective-C all day long. I do write a lot more Ruby than PHP now, It’s better at times I wish PHP could do that. I’ll write Ruby over PHP even though I may know more about PHP than Ruby at this moment in time. Lately I’ve been writing RubyCocoa, which is just using Ruby and the Cocoa Framework, same API but you can use Ruby idioms. I’ve also wondered why I was even writing in Ruby and not just on pure Objective-C? Well, I’ve started to do just that.

I’ve started to write Objective-C a lot especially this past week, I’ve been reading lots of documentation, sometimes I get a headache because I need to look up which method I need to call next. I first started to learn Cocoa about almost two years ago but I was never really serious about until now. I’m starting to like the syntax, some people will argue that. What I really like about it is it’s named arguments and that Objects can be extended as-well, just like what Rails does with Ruby.

So with all that being said, I continue to learn the Cocoa Framework with Objective-C and currently reading over Aaron Hillegass’ book, Cocoa Programming for Mac OSX.

LA Ruby Meetup 6/1906.19.08

LA Ruby Meetup was very cool. So I was the first to be at the scene. I helped bring the food to the room since I was in the lobby and greeted by Jody. I meet and greeted all of the LA Times people. Also meet some guy from Yahoo!, sorry I forgot your name already, and one from heroku, BizQuest another from PGP, and another from Experian. As-well as more but I sorta forgot everyones name already… or at least I can’t remember them, yet.

If you’re in the Los Angeles Area check it out.
Yellowpages.com will be hosting LA Ruby Meetup #2 on July 17 2008, so mark that in your calendar. Join the Yahoo Group, LARuby

Smith Park Montage, Pico Rivera Skaters06.01.08

This is probably one of the better videos I have seen from Pico Rivera Skateboarding. As many of you know I used to do some really serious skateboarding. I still skateboard just not that serious about it and yes it is still fun, in weekends you will probably find me there. Watch this video montage it is cool.

Final Days @ Citywaboo.com05.13.08

Final Days at Citywaboo

Citywaboo.com – What can I say about this place? First off it’s a cool place the people are good people. Lot’s of memories of good laughs and pizza for lunch and then there was Christmas Dinner at a brazilian restaurant. I remember my very first day at the office, it was different just listening to a different language being spoken, Armenian, I think it was the very first time I have ever heard that language and I was like “uh, what are they saying….” but I picked up a few words. I meet many people many sales people and a few programmers, good ones and horrible ones.

I think to myself and say wow, I have done so much work and this website was largely done by me. I’m not taking all the credit for the site, but to think about it I really did lot’s of the work, and it was practically rewritten once from it’s original code-base which I also was a part of… 

Overall, I feel happy with everything I have done.

As life goes on, I will officially be leaving citywaboo.com on May 16, 2008
( Feb 2006 – May 2008). It’s been a great ride and thanks to everyone at citywaboo.com for everything. Really, I mean that.

Thanks.

iPhone Custom Firmware 1.1.404.05.08

Apple iPhone Unlocked 1.1.4 Custom Fimware

I have finally unlocked one of my iPhones, so now it can run on t-mobile. Luckily I have two iPhones one that I mess around with and the other which I do use on a everyday basis. If incase anyone wants to use my custom firmware I created here it is for download, I assume you can put your iPhone into recovery mode and use the custom firmware to get your phone unlocked. Always be aware of you are doing.

PHP Zend Framework – MVC04.01.08

When ever I use the Zend Framework and I want to use the mvc components I always need to create the structure, though it can be a bit of a pain I have wrote a script to speed up that process. The script I wrote will create the mvc framework for you. It downloads a copy of it and uncompresses it. Check it out. on DZone

FriendFeed….03.24.08

While I read post by post about FriendFeed I try to ignore it until today, it got me, So I signed up and you know what? friendfeed sucks, I don’t get it… Everyone is raving about it, it just seems to be everywhere you read. It just seems like a jaiku clone with some extensions. So case in point I have an account with friendfeed and there is no point to friendfeed nothing new, nothing original, & nothing creative. It almost seems like friendfeed could be a feature in a social network then it would make better sense..
