I almost forgot to tell everyone: I finally finished the first stage of our new website. Like this blog it uses Kirby for content management. Fancy responsive and @2x stuff is included, too. I'll be one of the employes responsible for the company blog and started with a nice entry on using the build in Apache in Mac OS X.. Most of the blog posts will be in English. More detailed content - especially in our quite large portfolio - will be added soon.
After only a few weeks of waiting, I finally recieved my iPhone case from Grove.
I had quite a few things to protect my iPhone 4 over time. Starting with the Apple Bumper, iPod socks and a sleeve by Hardgraft.
The Grove is quite different from what I had before.
Pros:
Cons:
Since I haven't dropped my iPhone (yet), I think it's a really sweet case and well worth its price and the waiting. I'm really impressed by the quality of the whole thing and looking forward to their iPad case which will hopefully arrive in time when I visit San Francisco.
So long.
I just had to try some things with the new Photoshop CS6 beta and I like messing with Torbens pictures and the result turned out to be an interesting picture. Head to his blog to get it there.
So @trojankitten found a good solution to an old Photoshop problem and Jeff Broderick wrapped it into an simple action.
Excellent.
Also: great domain. Reminds me of another NoMore thing* I made, which is of course completely unrelated.
I wish to see this book become the Typographers' Bible. — Hermann Zapf
For me this book is a masterpiece on typography and one of the few I'm really happy to own as a printed edition. If you're a least a tiny bit interested in typography this should be on your shelf already.
In case you're wondering: I was talking quite a lot about typography in the last weeks so I simply had to put this somewhere.
Although it costs some money in the end - about 6€ for all the different styles - Paper is by far the best sketching application on the iPad.
It's UI is excellent and it just works great.
It helps to have a stylus and I'm quite happy with my Cosmonaut by Studio Neat that arrived earlier this week. In fact, I prefer it over the Wacom Bamboo they suggest.
My blog became very silent over time. The most obvious reason is my job at anfema. Since our company website really needs an update, I started testing some new CMS and found Kirby.
I can you, this thing is amazing. Super fast and super easy. In fact, this website is now running on it, too. It took me less than three hours to set this thing up, including some rough design.
This is only a beginning, so please be kind. I'll add missing pieces (like post dates and stuff) when I have time to.
So long.
A great article on releasing code to the public.
Brent Simmons adds:
- Make sure the static analyzer shows no issues with your code.
- Turn on the same warnings that Peter Hosey uses, and make sure there are no warnings.
- Use ARC.
I want to add: Do it. Release your code, let it fly. It will come back and show you new tricks.
I wish all of you a merry merry Christmas and happy holidays. Visit your family or friends, I'll do the same.
So long.
It's been far to long since my last update, but there are several things which keep me really busy.
My work at Anfema GmbH is still a lot of fun, but the projects are big and will take some time to be released to the public. There are many new things for me and buying a new suit and ties was one of the easiest and I still have to get used to wearing them.
On the other side I'm still trying to study at UoAS Augsburg. I'll also hold four workshops this semester, so you might actually find something new here pretty soon.
So long.
