I made this little batch program to help at work. I figured that other people may have a use for it so here it is. It is used to look up IP addresses when you have a list of server/computer names. I used it on a list of about 200 servers and it took about 8 minutes, manually would have taken much longer.  Read more here...

It has been quite a few years since ephedrine was banned from dietary supplements, the ban upset a lot of people since many of the studies have shown ephedrine to be safe when used properly. Most of the reports I have read about deaths due to ephedrine relate to people who took more than double the recommended dosage. There is a great site that has a ton of information on the EC, here is the link hotnfit.com. I am not a health professional, nor am I condoning the use of ephedrine, what you do with your body is your decision I am just providing some info on the subject.  Read more here...

I am currently (when I have free time) working on a new app for the iPhone/iPod touch…this new app will hopefully become a beautiful fusion of fitness and tech (just like the blog?). I do not want to give to many details about the app yet since there is none like it currently available and I do not have much time to work on it. I am hoping that I can finish this app soon, and fine tune and really polish it through updates, but to just get the first version on the app store and hopefully see some success from it.

I have just finished revamping the forum (it didn’t seem much popular before). It is geared towards building an iPhone development community, so join the forum and leave your insight! If you would like to become a moderator for the forum pm or email me!

After only 2 days of submitting my newest app to the app store, it went live! Million Shake Challenge is its name and it is available for download through iTunes or the App Store. Challenge yourself, challenge your friends, challenge everyone! Who will be the first to reach 1 million shakes of their phone? With online leader board you can race to be first! Here is this link: Million Shake Challenge

My newest app which I will not name yet has been submitted to the iTunes store, I am waiting for the ~2 week review process and then I will post when the app is available as well as more info about it!

After 2 1/2 weeks my first game app was finally approved by Apple and is now available for sale ($0.99). This was really a fun learning experience, and I think the app came out pretty good. I am working on another “game” or “entertainment” app but I am brushing up on my MySQL skills for the online leader board. I have been very busy lately with work, iPhone apps, and learning that I haven’t been able to post much, but the semester (last one) is over in a few weeks and I will have a lot more time.  Read more here...

Although I am calling this article “How to Rest Properly Between Workouts” it will also cover the basics of taking longer rests or breaks from working out all together. Now of course a lot of die hard lifters will tell you that there is no reason to miss workouts. I have heard all kinds of reasons as to why breaks are bad, from “I mean really  if you miss one, your body isn’t going to keep growing” to “Your going to lose your muscles” and finally to “All kinds of bad things will happen.” Now of course if you take a long enough break you may lose some muscle (if you aren’t eating right), but your body will still grow if you give it the proper fuel. So anyway, lets talk about resting.  Read more here...

Since my first app has been released, I have been working on updating it, and releasing a small puzzle game. Yesterday I submitted the updated Rainbow app (update info below) and Proxim app.

Rainbow will have new pretty colored buttons corresponding to the colors that the user (mainly toddlers) select. I will be working on adding sound, and other functions later on.  Read more here...

In an effort to boost my iPhone Development skills, I am hoping to get some donations that will help me get a better development platform (I am using the netbook!) and maybe some more resource guides. Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

I have finished reading iPhone Application Development for Dummies. All in all it was a good intro into development, if you have experience with C or even Objective-C. Since I do not have a background in either of these languages the book really just served as a tool for brushing up on Xcode and Interface Builder.

A few things I didn’t like about this book include:  Read more here...

• The author is continuously making comments about advanced things you could do, but it is not covered in the scope of the book.

Starting Out

I have been doing a lot of research lately on just how to start programming and making apps (to sell!) for the iPhone. One common theme I have come across is the need for a slight background knowledge in C or C++ programming. Well, at first that was a  bummer, then I realized that the Objective C language that the iPhone uses is some what similar to Java, which I just happened to have a main focus in in college. Now Apple provides all of the tools you need to start programming and developing apps, there is just one catch, these tools consist of 1000’s of pages of documentation. For those who aren’t that familiar with the C programming language Apple has a nice introduction into Objective C here.  Read more here...

I just finished my very first, and very basic iPhone app. The app was inspired by my daughter to help teach young kids colors, and keep them distracted when they snatch your phone. All the child has to do it press a button to display the color, very simple, yet my daughter loves it.

The app is currently in review with apple and I will hopefully get it published within 14 days. When it is available I will post the URL.

I am planning some new features already which may include, color mixing, audio, maybe some animation, etc.  Read more here...
