awkward.org T & M – Thoughts & Musings

• I love my wife & kids! I got a fathers day gift I *thought* I had already traded for something else! I get an iPad *and* a new iPhone 4!! #
• @massivevector I believe that the versions are identical between the WWDC era update and todays release in reply to massivevector #
• @ichiroa @massivevector packaging size difference is probably just from the removal of beta or 'GM'. I trust apple not to screw up build #s in reply to ichiroa #
• Beautiful evening for a spot of fishing and messing about on boats! http://yfrog.com/0o89904503j #
• Re last tweet: espn3.com has the live telecast of the epic Mahut-Isner Wimbledon match, current at 53-53 (!) in the fifth set. #
• @dlouhy So was he getting his new iPhone 4 ? in reply to dlouhy #
• @danielpunkass Going to CambridgeSide store ? Update us with the line size – I'm planning to go down there at around 5:00pm in reply to danielpunkass #
• @steve02476 No idea about the line at CambridgeSide – I'm near Boylston and the line there (for reservations) was long a couple of hours ago in reply to steve02476 #
• @erik_price Yep – Sure does ! I'm planning to head down in about 3-4 hours, hopefully quieter by then in reply to erik_price #
• @gonzalo_castro hey ! I'm standing in the line at cambridgeSide with your brother! http://yfrog.com/0n3jxuj #
• @Gonzalo_Castro I lost track of your brother – but if you see him tell him I got my phone fine without any problems! #
• Have new iPhone without *any* drama! Very happy! Hopefully activation at home goes smoothly! #
• @danielpunkass line at CambridgeSide is now down to approx. 1hr. They will stay open until everyone in the line (@ 9:00pm) is served #
• CambridgeSide store will also open at 8:00am on Friday to sell whatever stock of iPhones they have (unclaimed reservations) #
• Also CambridgeSide store has no bumpers for iPhone 4, they got less bumpers than phones! But they *do* have the much sought after iPad case! #
• @kirbyt I'm afraid I didn't notice if they had camera kits or not – sorry in reply to kirbyt #
• @danielpunkass How annoyed will you be if there's only ONE iPhone (yours from yesterday ? 8-) in reply to danielpunkass #
• @danielpunkass That's good ! I have a colleague who might have been down at the store too this morning. Hopefully she was lucky as well! in reply to danielpunkass #
• FogBugz question – is there a way to NOT auto-respond to specific senders when handling submissions via email ? #lazytweet #
• @jtrainer The problem is that you can't temporarily set your base SDK to 3.x to catch the new code you added that needs 'protection' in reply to jtrainer #
• @jtrainer if you're using a 4.0 only API and try to compile with 3.2 base SDK the compiler will error on the new stuff in reply to jtrainer #

• @mikebernardo I just did the exact same thing – worked flawlessly in about 45 seconds ! in reply to mikebernardo #
• @mikebernardo Nope – because I purchased a 3gs last summer and that (even @499) restarted the 2 year clock – Michele is eligible however in reply to mikebernardo #
• @mikebernardo Yep – colleague here at work did the same thing/same time and got the upgrade ! It's a mystery !! in reply to mikebernardo #
• AT&T Disables their customer portal, now renables it again – but MINUS the 'upgrade' sections #
• RT @Hybernaut: Video: USA – ENG highlights in LEGO (Thanks, Nick) http://bit.ly/aHCyue (this is fooking brilliant!) #
• @kirbyt @chuckdude Staying for dinner tonight ? Trying to reserve a table at CBC to avoid the 'crush' from people watching the game in reply to kirbyt #

• @mmartel WTF ! Even Northeast China airlines (a regional China carrier) knew how much gas was in the tank! Which airline was Rob on? in reply to mmartel #
• @mikebernardo so how exactly did the pilot explain that? "excuse me folks but BP only gave us 1/2 a tank and we need a top up?" in reply to mikebernardo #
• So apple needs to 'work with the carriers' ? Or 'work with A carrier' ? Did the tethering debacle screw video calling for everyone else ? #
• So… iPhone 4 displaces the iPad on the Fathers Day gift list #
• @siegel @cdespinosa Wait a while ? Broader release for us 'aging Mac developers' – later ? in reply to siegel #
• Oh boy… "Install time remaining: About 46 minutes" – this *IS* going to be a long night! #
• Well – that was a rather quick 46 minutes ! #
• Anyone have a link for the iPhone 3.1 SDK ? The GM 4.0 Seed doesn't include it and I still want to develop for non 4.0 devices ! #
• @awk Nevermind – apps built against 4.0 will run on 3.1.3 so long as the deployment version is set appropriately. in reply to awk #
• @tristan I'd go out if I were you ! That story is worth at least a couple of beers ! in reply to tristan #
• Amazed at the (cheap) cost of iPhone replacement parts. Replaced a cracked screen on my 3gs (12.95) Purchased replacement LCD for 3g (28.95) #
• Takes minutes to make/restore an iPhone Backup – and it STILL has to reinstall the apps !? AND music & videos ! Yeesh! #
• @fraserspeirs I have to suspect that jobs won't care about desktops. Apple ][ was dropped for the new shiny Macintosh, NextStep for OS X ? in reply to fraserspeirs #

• @bluedonkey One wonders if iCon which got Wiley thrown out of the retail stores IIRC will get a listing on iBooks ? in reply to bluedonkey #
• RT @bwalkin: Just published a blog post proposing some UI improvements to Xcode. Have a look. http://bit.ly/bzn57P (good ideas !) #
• @patlee I saw that article yesterday and forwarded it to the wife – probably very helpful tech for her (and you in a few years ?) in reply to patlee #
• @dlouhy Dude! That's some swanky apartment in the lower Haight you found. Makes my old place in the 'swanky' Cole Valley look very boring! in reply to dlouhy #
• @dlouhy awww I thought apple paid interns really well and was just about to quit, go back to school and then apply! Ohhh well… in reply to dlouhy #
• @dweekly Not just Central Park, he did a bunch of work in Boston too: Boston Public Gardens and Emerald Necklace. Indeed – when did he sleep in reply to dweekly #
