Lately I find myself mixing my PascalCase with my camelCase, calling alloc init instead of new, using [ ] instead of (), and writing awfully verbose method names all over the place. I justify my errors with a glimpse at my average day here lately:
Per the comment thread on Occipital’s blog:
This took me a while to find. As I’m in Berlin right now, my phone doesn’t work. I’ve pulled the SIM and I am just using it like an iPod touch. This has been a frustrating experience with regard to 360 Panorama because I rarely have an internet connection at the time that I take the panorama. All I can do is “Save”, and not having it in their nifty “Immersively stunning way” is a bit of a letdown.
The good news is twofold: They’re going to address it in an update AND there’s a way to manually recreate them with your saved image. First, upload them to www.yfrog.com. Luckily, they allow batch uploads. So if you’re like me and took 52 of them, it’s not too much trouble to upload them all.
Then the tedious part: making a list of all of the URLs created by the newly uploaded images. Once you make a list, just replace “yfrog.com/” with ”occip.it/py” and voila! you have an Occipital magic view of your 360 panorama after saving it.
If anyone has any quick way of creating a list of all of your yfrog images, I’d love to know.
It’s not an elegant solution, but it should work until they update the app.
UPDATE: See comment for some of mine from my trip.
UPDATE 2: Checked for an app store update the very next day and it looks like they’ve addressed the problem.
Months ago when Facebook posted the update for their iPhone app to version 3.1, I immediately grabbed it. For those of us that enjoy using Facebook, I argue that it is one of the best iPhone apps available.
Push notification has been a long time coming, and I’ve enjoyed it as an alternative to email for notifications. The other big feature of the update was contact picture syncing. This wasn’t exactly something I was Jones’n’ for, but a welcome addition. I’ve had the same stagnant pictures of my contacts for years. Many of them came from my old Cingular 8125 via Exchange syncing.
What I didn’t expect, however, was for Facebook to turn my mom into an Asian with some pretty serious Myspace angles:
The thing that’s strange is I have no idea who this girl is. She’s not any of my friends on Facebook. I’ve never seen her. She’s never been in any of their profile pictures that I’ve seen or even in their photo albums.
What gives, Facebook? Have a little mix-up over there?
