A developer's thoughts
After the recently overhaul of my web site (thanks so much, Chris!) I’ve been able to give myself a more appropriate email address but this app and Dicewords have the old contact/support address built into them. This app now been updated to use the correct email address and Dicewords will be updated as soon as I …

Apple have just passed my recent update to Bargain. 🙂 Previously, once you’d found a bargain, if you did “Shake to clear”, when you re-entered values in the previous “bargain boxes” the text would still appear green – that’s now fixed and it’s back to black. The other thing is a little helper in that the …
Geek Alert! My next app will need a sophisticated database. I had planned to use Apple’s Core Data framework which seemed perfect for the job, but since then I’ve learned that there’s a relatively new kid on the block, namely Realm. Core Data’s competence is not in question, but I’ve read a fair bit on …
Apple has just passed my latest update to Identicode – no new features but a couple of bug fixes. I’ll detail these in a day or so on the release notes page on my site. I have one new feature which I plan to implement in 1.3 which I think could be fun. Also, I’m …

I’m so excited by what is happening in Scotland today and I wish I could vote so that I could put a bold tick in the YES box! It would be so wonderful if the Scots turned their backs, not on the English, but on our corrupt, money grabbing, warmongering, austerity obsessed government and forged …
I recently released my latest app which is the app equivalent of the ‘Identicode” blue/red code translator in the TV Century 21 Magazine. Not only that but I forgot to post the launch and now I’m sending an update to Apple already! I was a big fan of Thunderbirds as a kid (and as an …
A sequence of events recently prompted me to code up a quirky SciFi but retro inspired app. It’s just about done and I plan sending it to Apple no later than Friday. More will be revealed when it’s on the App Store. In my continuing tradition, it’s nothing like any of my other apps … …
Years ago, I helped start the Brighton LETS (Bright Exchange) along with four others and needed some software to run it. The only available software to run a LETS which everyone used across the country (and perhaps further afield) was written for DOS and was vile. I was unemployed at the time and thought maybe …
