software development Over the shoulder Everyone has their preferences, not only when it comes to tools, but also how to use them. A team member, for example, used git their way the other day. They claimed not to be very good at (g)it, so they used branches in a weird way, not to say:
software development Simple, Stupid Following my ongoing fossil-endeavours, I decided to read the book The Cathedral and the Bazaar, as it's also mentioned in fossil's docs. It is a collection of essays, the first named A Brief History of Hackerdom. In Chapter 4 (The Rise of Unix), it reads: Unix
Fossil Re-discovering Fossil There are other SCMs than git. Rediscovering Fossil has made me think about how I use git.
software development I'm used to IDEs I'm thinking about tools. Again. After writing iOS-apps for roughly a decade and using Apple's Xcode to do so, I'm used to IDEs. Sure, I use real text editors like Textmate or BBedit or even vim for taking notes or writing blog posts, but

objectivec Customizing UISlider — Either color or image We're working on a pretty useful — at least we hope so — feature right now. Part of this feature is a slightly customized UISlider. In the end, it should look pretty similar to the narrow Scollbar you know from UIScrollView: As this component has existed in the app before,
objectivec Variable declaration in switch-case Welcome back to Objective C-land! Last week, I doubted my own sanity more than once. One day, for example, I refactored some code to use an enum and I nearly dispaired on a simple switch-case, until I reminded myself that I've stumbled over this issue quite a while
