This happened yesterday. As you can see form the picture there is a skype screen share inside which is a virtual machine, inside which is a teamviewer access of a client.

We are calling this strange phenomena "The Welltime Effect". Research is still going on as to what caused it :P

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 04:24:00 -0800

Ever wondered how do we influence the web? or someone on the web? i used to wonder the same thing. biggest inspiraton behind this thought being Twitter's trend. Imagine the whole world talking about the same thing, sharing their views in realtime small messages on one topic. now thats uncontrollable information flow.

thats how we influence the internet.wouldn't it be nice to have a tool to look at the stats behind the level of influence of a person or say website more closely?

Well, SocioFluence is the answer. its an iPhone Application that lets you mesure the level of influence of a Twitter user or a URL, take a closer look at it and if you want to then share your result on the Twitter or Facebook. Go ahead give it a try:

iPhone ninja Developer tip #3 - EXC_BAD_ACCESS

Wed, 29 Dec 2010 07:42:00 -0800

getting that nasty EXC_BAD_ACCESS Exception and your app crashes? and let me guess you cannot detect the cause behind it?

fear not my ninja developer buddies. This exception occurs when a message is being sent to a deallocated or released object.

to find the little culprit all we need is a little NSZombieEnabled Environment Variable. It keeps a copy of the deallocated object.

to make this work you need to do the following:

1. In Xcode go to Project>Edit Active Executible <Your Project Name>

2. Select Arguments.

3. Now add a Environment Variable called NSZombieEnabled as shown in the screenshot.

4. Now run your project and analyse it in the Console.

You should now see whats causing the problem(you can check the stack trace if needed). Once you have discovered and fixed it make sure you uncheck this Environment Variable.

So there you have i,t a very simple yet Ninja Level tip for making sure your app does not crash due to EXC_BAD_ACCESS Exception.

Hope it proves helpful.

iPhone ninja developer tip #2

Sat, 25 Dec 2010 10:43:51 -0800

ok now seriously! the last tip was for fun and i apologize for that but cmon, that was important too, you have to believe in it. so here i am with a small ninja tip for you apple coders out there. hope you guys like it.

ever wanted to change the way a View animates when pushed on the NavigationController? well heres how:

first thing you need to do is make sure you do not animate the viewcontroller when you call the pushViewController method i.e:

[self.navigationController pushViewController:someViewController animated:NO];

with that done, now you need to add the following code in viewDidLoad method of the viewcontroller being pushed on the navigation stack:

[
UIView 
beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];

[UIView setAnimationDuration: 0.50];

[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.navigationController.view cache:YES];

[UIView commitAnimations];

thats it!

you have a bunch of transition animations available, go ahead give them a try. add that extra Zest in your apps!

regards

asynchronous socket networking library for Cocoa.

Thu, 25 Nov 2010 06:26:00 -0800

and i thought network programming on the iPhone would be a tough nut to crack.

CocoaAsyncSocket supports TCP and UDP. The AsyncSocket class is for TCP, and the AsyncUdpSocket class is for UDP. Each class is described below.

AsyncSocket is a TCP/IP socket networking library that wraps CFSocket and CFStream. It offers asynchronous operation, and a native cocoa class complete with delegate support. Here are the key features:

Queued non-blocking reads and writes, with optional timeouts. You tell it what to read or write, and it will call you when it's done.

Automatic socket acceptance. If you tell it to accept connections, it will call you with new instances of itself for each connection. You can, of course, disconnect them immediately.

Delegate support. Errors, connections, accepts, read completions, write completions, progress, and disconnections all result in a call to your delegate method.

Run-loop based, not thread based. Although you can use it on main or worker threads, you don't have to. It calls the delegate methods asynchronously using NSRunLoop. The delegate methods include a socket parameter, allowing you to distinguish between many instances.

Self-contained in one class. You don't need to muck around with streams or sockets. The class handles all of that.

Support for TCP streams over IPv4 and IPv6.

The library is public domain, originally written by Dustin Voss. Now available in a public setting to allow and encourage its continued support.

AsyncUdpSocket is a UDP/IP socket networking library that wraps CFSocket. It works almost exactly like the TCP version, but is designed specifically for UDP. This includes queued non-blocking send/receive operations, full delegate support, run-loop based, self-contained class, and support for IPv4 and IPv6.
