Google Apps is awesome!

We're using Google Apps for our business, and so far, we couldn't be happier! The Standard Edition is free and allows up to 50 users on your domain with access to Gmail, Calendar, and Docs. It's perfect for a small business like ours, so if you're running a group or a small business, check it out!

We're also quite satisfied using Blogger to host our website and blog - it's been great!

Sliding UITextFields around to avoid the keyboard

Great post on Cocoa with Love. I love this blog.

iPhone - Flipping a view

Pretty simple. This code worked great for me, after I figured out that the front view and back view need to be on a superview, which is what actually gets flipped.

Also try with UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp.

Why is my list black?

Great post from the Android Developers Blog explaining how to resolve the issue where a ListView turns black when the user scrolls.

Android XML include

Android's XML include is a great way to reuse XML layouts. Check it out!

Blogged from my iPad.

[UILabel sizeToFit]

This method is great for making a text label's height and width fit the text that's inside it.


CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480);
UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
myLabel.text = @"Any size text string";
[myLabel sizeToFit];


Thanks to the Stack Overflow community for teaching me about this.

Essential Keyboard Shortcut for Numbers

Numbers just isn't usable without a mouse if you don't know this shortcut. To paraphrase, Option-Return allows you to edit existing data in a cell.

I also found that you can start typing when a cell is selected to wipe out any existing content in that cell and replace it with what you type.

Hitting Enter while in edit mode leaves edit mode.
