iPhone 3.0 Beta 5 – update

So far things are still going good. The part that was a bit rough was that when the restore image is used and the phone reboots…its like having a virgin iPhone again. Luckily you can restore your settings from a backup. But man that takes a while to re-install all of your applications and copy over the gigabytes of data. Not very much fun.

The only issue I had with this process was that Frenzic didn’t seem to want to install the first time. Tonight when I plugged the iPhone in, Frenzic installed and worked as I expected. So I’m not sure what happened last night.

iPhone 3.0 Beta 5

For a while now I have been an officially licensed iPhone developer. I haven’t had all the time in the world that I originally hoped for to develop various applications. But slowly I have been starting to make a little headway on an idea that a buddy of mine had.

I’ve been dragging my feet to make the 3.0 beta upgrade that has been available for developers for the past month or two. Its my work phone and I didn’t want anything goofy to happen which would render it useless to me. Seeing as the full version is probably coming out in a few weeks, I figured that it is time to bite the bullet and move to the new OS.

Warranty Robo Calls!

Is anyone else receiving the warranty robo calls? I am. And I even complained about it to the FTC since my number is on the do-not-call list. I have received 2 calls and filled out the necessary paper work to file a complaint. The follow up on my filing, I got a letter this week stating that my calls did not violate the law yada yada yada. I’m guessing it is due to the fact that one of the questions was, did the caller leave a phone number or email address to opt out. I didn’t listen to the entire call so I couldn’t tell you for sure. I’m guessing they give the benefit of the doubt to the caller.

IgniteIT Talk

About a month ago I gave a lightning talk at a local IgniteIT Event. I haven’t done a lot of public speaking so I was a bit nervous going in. But the people that I was with stated that the talk I gave was pretty good. I assumed they had been drinking heavily so I couldn’t trust them that much.

But now the 5 minute talk is on the intertubes for all to see. So here it is, enjoy.
