After a rather painful upgrade from iOS 5 beta to iOS 5 release (involving several DFU mode attempts and iTunes error messages during upgrade), my apps somehow got stuck in limbo as they attempted to begin restoring.
All the icons appeared with their progress bars, subtitled “Wating…”, and after a while, I got the popup [...]
It turns out there are a whole lot of weird quirks in OS X Lion, to my intense dismay. Snow Leopard felt robust. Maybe it was missing a few things, but it was robust. Lion puts some frilly things into the mix, but now suddenly stuff gets weird. I’m disappointed.
This problem plagued me during [...]
There are a good number of ways to mess up complex systems. Hopefully you, like me, screw up development systems, and not production ones, guarding and carrying with you the knowledge you gain along the way. You’re not a complete idiot, you just make mistakes sometimes.
Here are 3 things you’ll punch your computer over, [...]
It turns out that, if you’re the type of person even looking for this kind of thing, the right balance of quality icons can actually be found over on DeviantArt.com. Not everything is great, but I dare you to do better using just Google image searches.

About.me
Tim Valenta
Amateur at everything, coder, UI designer, musician, and writer. I break things apart and re-program them from scratch to learn exactly which problems people have solved in the past. I write for NaNoWriMo, and I'm nearing the self publication of a short story called Highway.
Python is my passion. Alastair Reynolds writes great science fiction, but has a really ugly website. My Mac is my Linux without all the driver failures. I hate working directly for salesmen. Huge scented candles are surprisingly nice when you work from home all day. I play AP Mid lane for my League of Legends team, but love a good run at Top.
