Today I'm thankful for ...
... the Interface Builder (IB) in the developer toolset from Apple. Talk about a nifty application that lets you build your applications in a very visual way. Its interface could be improved a little to provide easier properties feedback about the objects you're working with, but it's not that bad.

You so smrt
Today I'm thankful for ...
... B knowing how to write Cocoa apps. With his help I was able to put together my very first app for the iPhone. He gave me a quick tour of Xcode, Interface Builder, and showed me how Objective C sends messages. At the end of about an hour we had an interface that was able to hide and reveal a text label, count the number of times that switch was toggled, increment a page counter, toggle a button bar, and increase a progress meter. It may be ugly as heck, but it really helped me understand how this all fits together.

No thanks, I'm OK
Today I'm thankful for ...
... not having upgraded to the iPhone 2.0 software today. According to what I've read the AT&T servers have been down part of the day. And, since I'm traveling in Canada right now I really don't want to be stranded up here w/out any phone! Besides I'll be back in the US soon and hopefully all the kinks in the activation process will have been ironed out by then.

... trying to reinstall iTunes. After doing the Leopard upgrade I noticed the iPhone was not syncing at all. The System Profiler did show the device as being connected, but then looking in the Console log I was seeing:
I searched around for "USBMuxListenerCreate" problems and almost nowhere did I see an appropriate solution. I was just about to give up right now when I decided to try to download iTunes again. And, what do you know? It worked! No problems syncing anymore.

Today I'm thankful for ...
... having a great navigator, and minus that a iPhone with Google Maps. I don't know Los Angeles very well. Its maze of twisting freeways and endless traffic jams are enough to make any non-LA resident cross-eyed. Well, thanks to having a copilot who went to college in LA, we were able to get around quite well. Granted, one of the other cars got a GPS system installed, but it's still nice to know one's way around.
Later that evening I had to leave on my own to see another friend. I was able to look up his address and find out exactly how to get there on the iPhone's Google Maps. Plus, the traffic jams show up with a tap on the corner of the screen. Ugh, LA has way to much red.
