Managing Multiple iPhone Developer Certificates

Back in the dark ages of iPhone development, being part of 2 separate iPhone development teams was problematic as Xcode didn't deal with multiple developer certificates too well. Now Xcode will automatically select the right certificate (it took me awhile to find a reference).

First week of self-employment

Now that I've been self-employed for almost a week (Monday was my last day at my job), I feel like my life has changed a bit. There was nothing wrong with my old company or my old job, except that it just wasn't for me. Prior to taking the job, I spent 5.5 years self-employed, so I really got used to the freedom and being my own boss. I feel like I'm back in control of my work as I have a schedule for one of my projects (or will soon) which will let me figure out when I need to work really hard and when I can work at a normal pace. In the world of software, most projects have schedules which helps in planning a workload. In the world of IT, there may be projects with schedules, but there always will be things that have to get done immediately (someone can't get to a server or a computer doesn't work; you can't schedule those things in or delay fixing them).

Review: Eye-Fi Explore X2

My 3 year old son loves playing with our digital camera which is fine, but I'm afraid that he's going to accidentally delete pictures. I've tried giving him an old camera, but he wants to use the camera that mommy and daddy use. There are really only a few ways to prevent accidental erasure of the pictures. First, download all pictures immediately after taking them. This is a bit impractical. Second, put in a second memory card that he can use. A bit impractical and he likes to see the pictures we take. The last option is the Eye-Fi series of SD cards.
