My iOS Development Status
I have not been back to my iOS development since my Beijing vacation back. May be I am just too lazy or too busy with something else as excuse. One of reasons is that I want to do it in Xcode 4.0 and iOS 5. I got my Xcode updated last month. iOS will be released anytime soon either this month or in October.
Add Zoom Image Feature to Blogger
Recently Google’s BLogger has been redesigned with much more new features. The original openness features are still available. Still I don’t like the way in Blogger to resize images in narrow width so that it is hard to see. I understand that exploded image would distract the whole blog layout. Therefore, I have been thinking about adding a feature to zoom images in Blogger.
New Updates After I Got New iMac27
After I got my new iMac 27, I found a long list of updates, including OS and Thunderbolt updates. On the second day, I got another two updates. I have not had time to experience my iMac yet.
One thing I noticed immediately is that the process of checking new updates is much faster than before, less than 1 minute. The same process used to be taking long time. Not sure if this is one of enhancements or not. I think this should be belonging to Lion.

SQLPlus Debug and VIM Find/Replace
Yesterday I was asked to help to resolve some issues for a piece of PL/SQL codes, which was provided by our client support. I was working on only error issues, nothing related to its logic. I spent about 2 hours and finally almost got the script running OK (it was too late in the afternoon). Here are two notes about the work.

EPSON Printer Update 2.8
Yesterday I found this update but I did not have time to do it. Today after work, I completed this update. As far As I known this update is for EPSON printer, not Mac OS update from Apple directly, but all the updates have to be through Mac updates.

Open/Closed Principle: Delegate Example
In object-oriented programming, the open/closed principle is a very important principle. Software entities (classes, modules, functions, etc.) should be open for extension, but closed for modification. Recently I tried to summary some commonly used components in a serials of documents. I found that I have used delegate in my LogHelper class. This reminds me about my OCP.

Mac OS 10.7.1 Update
This is the first update after I installed Lion. It does not include any fix to add file size to Preview, as I want. I don’t think my voice will heard. Anyway, I just take two more steps to compare file size: to save file as JPEG and to use command+I to get file information. I am getting used to it.
