Last fall I got a new iMac that I only use during the Weekends. I’ve just recently noticed that I still didn’t have Code Signing running. I’ve done quite some searching and even tried to debug what codesign does when it tries to match certificates. Only then I noticed that even t…
Last weekend I’ve started to write my first real iPhone app. At one point I thought that the app worked pretty well in Portrait mode, but it could also work pretty nicely in Landscape mode.…
I’ve just ran across a pretty unexpected bug in CuteClips. I was using NSCharacterSet to filter a String. This kept locking up some users computers. Turns out this is a bug in Mac OS X 10.5. Snow Leopard doesn’t show this bug so I guess it’s useless to report that to Apple.…
Yesterday I encountered a very strange bug/feature in Xcode. I just couldn’t run any application in Release configuration anymore. I always got “The Debugger has exited with status 1.” in the run-log. In debug configuration they worked, without Xcode they worked, in gdb they work…

I just had to create an icon and used the new Icon Composer for this. There’re some really great new features in the new version. Not only that it can create icons like the previous version, it also provides a VERY nice preview panel. You can preview your icon in any size from 1p…
Today I got a mail regarding Xcode Templates and it made me look into it again. I was surprised that Apple changed the way Xcode integrates into the system now. Until 10.5 everything was stored in /Library/, but as of 10.5 Xcode uses the folder /Developer/Library/. Everything rel…
