Not for me. Apple made things confusing. But I'm finally getting somewhere! Getting the first app example working (which I downloaded off of Apple's site) was an uphill struggle. I was trying to get the  Kalimba ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/05/02/iphone-sdk-beta-some-progress/ POST UPDATED: Finally, I got my order. Val included some candies in the package as sort of a consolation prize for my order being so late. Hopefully my wife doesn't get the wrong idea! :P Box of chocolates (Decimated) The goodie bag spilled out The DVD and it's box Thanks Val! Val's Art Diary is ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/28/vals-art-diary-dvd-came/ I'm on the phone with Apple as we speak. I'm trying to find out what has happened to my iPhone Beta SDK. I logged into the Apple Store, checked my order status. The first thing I noticed gratefully is that it did show that I actually did order the SDK, ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/28/49/ I got the go-ahead from Apple Development to be in the Beta program for developing for the iPhone. I clicked on the appropriate link, filled in the proper info, whipped out the old credit card, validated everything, read everything and am now waiting to receive my package! I was pleased to ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/22/iphone-sdk-beta-waiting-for-delivery/ No formal talks have happened yet between China Mobile and Apple, but there is a buzz on the internet about it. Wouldn't it be cool? The iPhone in China? Not only for Apple, but for all the developers of apps for the iPhone! Something developers would have to take into consideration ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/15/iphone-in-china/ Well, I've sent a message to Val again about my missing DVD. She's going to work on getting me a copy finally (I ordered it months ago). I don't think that the problem is Val herself, most likely it is the people she hired to distribute her DVD. I'm looking forward ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/14/vals-art-diary-dvd-revisited/ UPDATED. I have managed to get a sample  iPhone app compiled and running in the iPhone simulator that they provide. The app is an African thumb piano. It is a very imaginative use of the iPhone. It would be much nicer running on my iPhone rather than a simulator! There are some ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/07/an-update-on-iphone-development/ ServePro is at my house right now. No, they're not cleaning up after flood or fire damage, they're cleaning out the vents in my house. They've never been cleaned as long as I've lived here (6 years). And I'd be surprised if really if the previous owner ever had it done! Hopefully it ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/04/like-it-never-really-happened/ I thank God that some good stuff has happened... My external 1TB hard drive is working. It was the power cable that didn't work. A power cable is allot cheaper than a new drive! Scheduled someone to come out to the house today and remove the bird's nest and replace the vent ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/04/03/some-good-news/ Problems come in bunches: A bird is building a nest in a vent for my attic (the grate popped out). You can hear him in the ceiling of our bedroom. I'm trying to get a handyman to fix the problem. My neck and shoulders are really bothering me and doing something about ... http://blog.chomer.com/2008/03/31/problems-come-in-bunches/
