So I’m testing a new unnamed app for the iPhone for use with ExpressionEngine. So far so good, functionally. I’m going to have to really try to make use of the features though, as I still prefer to just use Safari so far.
This is posted via the app of course.
Edit-add: Oh gross. Why in the world do all of these apps created for this purpose add their own typography and markup? ::sigh::

Summary of Why I Think VC is Bad -
By taking money from other people and assembling a whole team you always run the risk of compromising your vision, which, after all, is what working for yourself is all about.
After posting my listing I’ve received some quick responses. Too bad all of them appear to be scammers. Considering that every email has a warning from Craigslist about how to avoid scammers, I can only assume that I have been hit with a common and not extraordinary amount of scam attempts. So does anyone legitimate still use Craigslist?
I could have done this transaction with you local,but due to the nature of my job. I will be paying you the total amount of $2700 for both the shipping fee and the cost of your item. The Laptop [ed. note: I’m not even selling a laptop] for my son’s birthday gift that traveled to West Africa for research
am buying the item for my son in abroad,and i will be paying you through paypal
Here are the email addresses of the replies that I can 100% confirm are scammers. Why am I putting them here? So if someone else Googles for them after receiving an email, they’ll know that that email address was associated with attempted scamming in the past.

Not much changed here in this free update, as I’m really happy with the UI and simplicity. The update adds to the number of dice selector so you can roll as many as 10 dice now instead of 6. This should better accommodate those who want to use this for games like Risk where tossing a few extra dice might be necessary.
It will also be interesting to see what effect being on the front page of the "All iPhone Applications" page for day will have, as Apple includes updates as releases. DieRoller didn’t have this slot when it was first released, as it was reviewed and approved more than a week before the store contract was processed, so it’s release date had it like on page 14 the day it actually went live. It’s had steady (but not massive) downloads every day, but I suspect today will have a minor spike. At the end of August, after double checking my contract terms, I’ll post the details with some interesting statistics.

Me: I’m on a 1-a-month gifted plan, and we’d like to pay to upgrade to the 3-a-month plan, but my billing cycle began two days ago. Can we pay now so we don’t have to wait a full month for this to go into effect?
Rep: No, unfortunately on a gifted plan there’s no prorated upgrade.
Me: Seriously, is there a manager override to allow me to pay you the extra money for this to take effect?
Rep: No, I’m sorry, you’ll have to wait.
Me: Don’t you find it odd that I want to give you money now, but you won’t take it?
Rep: No, I’m sorry, you’ll have to wait.
Me: So what if I cancel my account and reactivate, can I select the 3-a-month plan immediately?
Rep: Well that would be your choice, but you’d lose the rest of the term of your gift plan.
Me: You mean the one month I have left that I’d have to wait anyway for the upgrade to take effect?
Rep: Yes, you’d lose that. Your choice.

Businesses take note: Do not create or enforce policies that make it difficult for customers to give you money. Sheesh.
Hard work today, so I’m rocking my programming goggles, just like Roger Murdock.
Well I made a simple iPhone application a couple weeks ago; it was approved rather quickly, but the contract took awhile to process. It’s called DieRoller, does what it says, and does it quickly, clearly, and cleanly with no fuss. You can find it in the App Store.
So I picked up a 16 pound Boston Butt pork shoulder at Sam’s this weekend for my next barbecue / smoking adventure. It is a behemoth slab of meat and I can’t wait to light up the fire. I just need to decide what type of rub recipe I will use on it, whether or not to inject it, and if I want to do the whole thing as pulled pork or if I want to try to do some as sliced. Pulled will definitely be more forgiving, and will ensure that the 16 pounds feeds a lot of people. And I’ll need to cut it into 4 smaller slabs or it’ll take 30 hours instead of 10.
BlogWriter for iPhone has been updated to version 2.6, and the bug where the keypad would cover your text area has been fixed, which was the biggest concern in my previous review. Also added is better support for UTF-8. The app still has a long way to go before I would consider using it to publish to my site from my iPhone instead of just going to my site’s control panel, but it has been improved. It also still only supports MetaWeblog proper, that is to say, one content field only.
Leopard PHP Security Update - Interesting, as part of the 2008-005 patch for OS X 10.5, PHP is getting updated to 5.2.6.
