Lets say you have a program that needs to run something and you don’t want the user to keep clicking and clicking and clicking because the program will crash if that happens, well here is the answer to your problems:


[buttonName setTitle:@"Running..."];
[buttonName setEnabled:NO];
//code goes here
[buttonName setTitle:@"Original Title"];
[buttonName setEnabled:YES];

Aleksander Grande wrote this amazing guide that steps you through everything from IB to the code. I wish this was around when I started programming for the iPhone.

I was “Googleing” around for some iPhone code snippets, but what I found was a treasure chest of code snippets… 31 iPhone Apps with full documentation and source!! I think you iPhone devs will enjoy this.

               Breaking News: t8trtot Would Actually Take Pleasure in A PC.

  Now calm down you diehard PC fanboys, im not dissing on the PC’s. I’m a diehard fangirl for Apple..but this here would be 1 exception. I usually don’t like using windows at all. In short; I’ve used them for the last past 11 yrs and all I have had was bad experiences. Thats why when you search my house the only windows you’ll see are on the walls, honestly I have a question for Microsoft. How can you have windows without walls. Life without walls; life without windows. And that motto right there is how I considered my computers no walls..no windows, just apple.

      I currently own a MacBook(previous version) and have always thought about sending out to convert it into a Modbook. So in my wildest dreams I’ve considered owning a tablet..just not a PC. Although this all changed when this beauty came out.

       I love the very essence of having a desktop computer with touch capability. And the computer itself is very appealing, which is very important to me. Its thin, sleek design is like eyecandy. I love the wireless mouse and keyboard, which also looking very nice. And then the part of knowing you can touch. Usually with computer screens its look but don’t touch…not here, not at all. It seems to be begging to be touched. And the price is very considerable given the fact my macbook cost more than that. Call me crazy, but this will be 1 PC I will go check out.

My latest open source project (MIT License). Everything you need to know is the the tag line/description of the project.

The new Vertu Boucheron 150 is made of solid gold in celebration of the Boucheron jewelry house in Paris 150th Anniversarry. According to the designer is took 2,200 hours to build to cut into shape, hand polish and build this masterpiece. If this phone doesn’t scream luxiourisous overload, I don’t know what does. No official details, including price have been released just yet. Honestly, in my personal opinion, the thing looks more like a crumpled Willy Wonka Ticket than a phone.

Office Depot has just recently announced that they too will be closing underperforming stores. Over the next 3 months they will close down 112 stores throughout the nation. To deal with the struggling economy’s woes, many companies, banks, and stores of all different kinds have been forced to cut back. Roughly 90% of Office Depot’s store locations will be closing. It will also be closing 33 of its Northern division stores.
