Day of the developers

Today on Reddit there was this reference about how programmers are dealing with bugs. And then suddenly it started escalating and they depicted all the typical cliches. It was nice to see and I say with all my heart, it is all true.

Refactor started

Since I'm not doing any topics anymore it's funny to think about the first couple of sentences. It's a nice bla bla without any effort to drive you from the teaser to the real post.

My code has bad smell

I've had a nice bank holiday here on the island. Sun was shining like fever and tourists were spreading like a virus. It was a perfect day for an NFS rage and some articles.

At the Quantified Self meetup

I managed to get to the London Quantified Self meetup tonight. It was also in the Google Campus. I was a longtime they had the last meetup so I was really curious how this goes.

Almost there with the StatDiary app update

There is a deep joy in development. When you can do the same thing for days and weeks. You're so deep you don't even know what reality is. Everything is structure and data and algorithm. That's why I feel so blue when I cannot invest the proper time in a private project, like StatDiary. However I still have to fix the 4 inch screen layout. A little update about that with some tiny Objective-C practices.

Fight for the 4 inch screen

It's high time to update the StatDiary application. In order to move the service to a new server I have to update a tiny string - and fortunately because Apple is insisting to make all new apps iPhone 5 compatible I have to change the views to work on the 4 inch screen as well.

Never-ending fights with XCode

As I indicated yesterday I need to move my infrastructure with all services to a new server and XCode showed me that I'll have some headaches to re-submit my app. And my feat turned to be valid - again.

Moving soon to a new hosting service

My dear friend Kornel told me about a new hosting he has found. We used to keep our private stuff on Linode. It was an okay VPS. I was quite happy with it. However none of my sites there pay the bills and it costs me $10 / month. I know it's nothing for an online presence - but then Kornel came with a new idea.

Order by on StatDiary

I've got a feature request last night. It was about the order of statistics. I was thinking if it would be an easy feature to implement.

Data comparison on StatDiary

During my last day's post I realized that data comparison is indeed one of the most requested result users want. So I decided to add it today.

Some thoughts about StatDiary

It's ages since I talked about StatDiary. In the last month there is some activity, so I share my experience with the long term maintenance strategy.
