The iPad/iPhone DevCon will be held in San Diego from September 27 through 29 and I've been invited to give four classes! If you put my last name, SAGGAU, in when you register, you will automatically save a hundred bucks ($ 100.00) -- and it's combinable with their other promotional discounts, like Early Bird Specials and so-on.

The conference program at iPhone/iPad DevCon includes more than 40 full-day workshops, half-day workshops and technical classes over three days – in addition to keynotes by Mike Lee and Aaron Hillegass.

CLASS DATES AND TIMES

Stripping .svn directories

rm -rfv `find . -name *\.svn`

Adding new files

svn add `svn stat |grep \? |awk '{print $2}'`

Using a Mulligan

svn revert --recursive && rm -rf `svn stat |grep \? |awk '{print $2}'`

As with any other nerd foo, make sure that you really want to do what you're asking for when you use these commands. These make my life with svn just a little easier.

I've been known to fight foggy brain from time to time. You know what I mean? That decidedly uncool feeling of "can't do crap, too tired and dumb" that only seems to creep in when the to do list is longer than my ... um ... arm. Lately, though that feeling has struck me less and less often and I think I know why. I've lately zeroed - in on the right set of habits for me. Every now and again, I'll pick one of the topics below and write a short post expanding the topic. For now, though, just a list of things that work for me.

Regarding bandwith / data size / responsiveness as a result of downloading data

Regarding memory

Regarding UI responsiveness

- (void)viewDidLoad

    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.fontNames = [NSMutableArray array];
    NSArray *fontFamilyNames = [UIFont familyNames];
    for (NSString *familyName in fontFamilyNames) {
        NSLog(@"familyName = %@", familyName);
        NSArray *names = [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName];
        NSLog(@"FontNames = %@", fontNames);
        [self.fontNames addObjectsFromArray:names];
    }

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }
    
    NSString *name = [self.fontNames objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell.text = name;
    cell.font = [UIFont fontWithName:name size:14];
    return cell;
