Hence no updates for the past few months. We’ve finally launched our product so expect more updates from me.

Don’t use it. http://www.nicholaschan.net/2011/07/xcode-4-2-beta-dont-use-it/ http://www.nicholaschan.net/2011/07/xcode-4-2-beta-dont-use-it/#comments Thu, 21 Jul 2011 23:06:45 +0000 Nick http://www.nicholaschan.net/?p=909 Spent a couple of hours debugging, thinking I was doing something wrong. Came to a conclusion: editing a UITextField (built from Interface Builder) will cause a BAD_ACCESS in Xcode 4.2 beta.

Apparently it got dragged on much longer than anyone wanted. I have this odd feeling that there might be an app that’s very similar to what I’m working on that may be released before I get to finish.

What I’ve been able to do however is create some music for the game. I have one that’s ready to go and another that may or may not be part of the game due to the nature of how it sounds.

The heat has been killing my productivity, but I think I have a solution for that next week. I’ve also been side tracked by the fact that I may or may not be working with a new start up company, so my projects may or may not be axed.

Just more jury duty stuff to do. Feeling sick from drinking that Power Purely Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice.
