I finally got my MacBook Air back from my local Apple store after it broke on my way home from WWDC in Chicago. Of course I had a ton of optimized code on there from the conference so I was sorta “out of business” for a week without any code (plus I’m lazy and don’t want to redo work I’ve already done). I can definitely say that from now on I’m keeping several backups of all my important files.

Anyhow, expect an update to my tip calculator for the iPhone and iPod touch, Calcutipr, fixing some issue 3.0 introduced to the App within the next day or two.

WWDC 2009 Entrance

I’m back home after a week of traveling and sessions at Apple’s 2009 World Wide Developers Conference. WWDC was just as fun as it was last year and in my opinion more informative. The sessions I attended at WWDC added greatly to my knowledge of the iPhone SDK and the rest of the Mac development cycle. I attended this year’s WWDC courtesy of Apple’s Student Scholarship Program.

After leaving San Francisco late to catch a red eye flight to Chicago, I got stuck in Chicago for all of Saturday. That was alright though, I got a chance to head downtown Chicago and grab a bite to eat at Carson’s (a great rib place). Oddly my MacBook Air broke (or stopped turning on) in the hotel my last night on the road. Luckily my MacBook Air is being fixed at my local Apple store under the warranty.
