Is Someone Stealing Your Bandwidth?

Posted on 8/3/2010 by

I’ve been noticing lately that a lot of strange, unrelated sites have been showing up in my web stats as links from an external page. Many of the URL’s look like some of the same spam mail I get in my inbox.

I Think I’m In Love! (with code)

Posted on 7/23/2010 by

My friend, who now works at Apple, recommended that I read Aaron Hillegrass’ book COCOA Programming for Mac OS X to get a good grasp on iPhone programming. I started working through the book today.
