A quick announcement to say that Raptor has now been released to the iOS app store!

Quite a while ago I had bought myself a Samsung Galaxy SII when I was due an upgrade on my phone. I had felt that the phone was unstable, the OS was ugly and in general, Samsung had ruined my experience with TouchWiz. Only last week I bought myself a new company phone, namely the LG Nexus 4.

Over the past week we have launch a new online product called ‘Sportaroo’. Sportaroo is a crowdsourced funding platform for sports clubs and teams.

Over the past few months me and Robert White have been working together on Raptor for iOS. Raptor is a new App.net client for the iPhone.

So today I spent quite a long time battling with Heroku and getting AssetSync with S3 to work with my Rails app. I kept getting errors during pushing to Heroku with messages such as:

Fog directory can't be blank, Aws access key can't be blank, Aws secret access key can't be blank.

I thought it was time there was a change to the style and layout of my blog, so I decided to go with the Octopress framework/theme (still using Jekyll). I think this is mainly because it comes with quite a few pre-installed plugins that will do nicely for my posts.

Pretty interested in using the gists plugin as well as a few others.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the new theme, and I’m sure it’ll make me want to blog a bit more :)

Today I want to present a few slides to a group of people about the Lean Startup methodology. Here is something that I came up with:

Today I tried out Calabash for UI testing on iOS (there is also an Android version although I’ve not tried that one yet) so I thought I’d give a brief post on how to test a UIAlertView.

Startup Weekend - Day 2

After a late night and an early morning, we all arrived back for the second day of the Startup Weekend. Everyone got their morning fix of coffee and breakfast before sitting down in our meeting room to discuss the long day ahead.
