Drag 'n drop
Today I'm thankful for ...
... lots of good examples in the Apple Developer center for the iPhone. I've been reading up on all sorts of code and I think I'm getting a handle on it. Although I think I ought to read the Aaron Hillegass book on Cocoa. Apparently it applies to Cocoa Touch, the iPhone UI layer.

Easy building
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.

Better progress
Today I'm thankful for ...
... making more progress on a very annoying project. A simple system has turned into an ugly hairy mess of programming. :( But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel---and I'm sure it's not a muzzle flash.

Progress
Today I'm thankful for ...
... a good bit of progress in the past few days on a project at work. Besides firefighting certain issues I am making really good progress with a games system! It's fun!

Ah, grasshoppa
Today I'm thankful for ...
... getting the chance to do a knowledge transfer over to a couple of colleagues. Unfortunately we've all be running so fast on our individual projects that we haven't had a chance to catch each other up on all the new developments. I was able to steal two of my colleagues this afternoon and walk them through all of the new pages and how they interact with the main parts of the web application we're building. Wow, our system is complex. And tomorrow I'm on a plane ... so it's their last chance to learn from The Master!

I have a bad feeling about this
Today I'm thankful for ...
... not completely losing my temper with my boss. He was supposed to have the designs done today for the new set of login pages but he's still dillydallying on them. We're pretty much out of time right now and I'm fearful of what it'll take to implement them. But still, I'm trying to maintain enough of a professional edge that we can focus on the work and not on the emotions. However, I did make it quite plainly known that I'm feeling anxious and worried.
