My next iPhone app is almost ready to go. It's going to be an Internet-enabled app, so this will be interesting to say the least. I do believe I've got all the bugs worked out and made the UI a lot smoother to work with. Now I've just got to put up the ability to turn the service off, if needed. There are 8M+ iPhones out there and freebie apps like this tend to get abused.

It's also going to be interesting as to how I monetize this. The app will be using AdMob's iPhone support for a free version. Then there will be a paid version for $0.99 that removes the ads. I've actually got to do some trickery in XCode to make it as simple as changing a build setting to switch between the two. Or create another target. This is all stuff I'm really green on, so we'll see how it goes.

Metronome

My first iPhone app, Metronome, is now available in the iTunes App Store! Buy it, please!

It was actually a fun little project to make and I believe it's the most accurately-timed metronome in the App Store so far. The algorithm is smart about computing tick timing to avoid drift. I also worked out a better tuner than the rest. Although, detecting tune from the microphone is going to be a bitch, but something I want to do. A tap button for BPM is the next obvious feature and will get in there ASAP. I also wanted to figure out something for custom rhythms. I've just got to figure out a good UI pattern for that.

Anyways, it was my first real go at Cocoa Touch. It's a really, really easy system to get up and running on. I had a few issues with the sound system, but overall, it's dead simple to get started on and make something cool.

Whoops!

I added in the Activity Streams plugin last night. It appears to like to import all Flickr photos, not just my own. Cleared out 500 items!

Now, off to go discuss secret ASO plans...

So, as you might have noticed, things look a bit different. I've reverted everything back to the default templates and am using one of the built-in styles. So, not pretty at the moment, but hopefully pretty in the future. We shall see.

Well, since I upgrade MT but didn't upgrade my templates, this site is kind of a mess. I'll probably have to nuke things and start over. Much like I had planned last year...

Anyhoo, I'm thinking of just dropping it down to a micro-blog status. Basically just be all Tumblr-like and such. Writing big posts makes my brain hurt.

In other news, ASOworx is coming soon!
