For all of you who can’t make it, we are at the iPhoneDevCamp Chicago satellite. We will be making hourly posts of our experience. We have two perspectives, the first is of tskaggs who is a trained coder and wannabe tech entrepreneur; and second is a not-so-trained-actually-not-at-all programmer artnoisenik.
Artnoisenik will be making individual posts that [...]
**Stupid NDA. Can’t say shit.
Hour1: Awesomely small! We’re in a building right next to the Sear Tower! I’ve missed Chicago I guess. Ok. enough of the mooshy stuff.
One of the best and most useful iPhone apps hae been developed, but has been removed by Apple!
Nullriver’s Netshare is an app that allows you to make your iPhone into a personal modem. This allows your computer to use the 3G network to access the internet. This is a big kick in the face to [...]
This is, by far, the best app released so far! I waited an extra week before I made that claim because I wanted to see what else was out there. I can agree with every fanboy, blog writer, and who ever else agrees with me, that Twitterrific is not much different from the OS X [...]
CHECKWORD is GOOD. Well, its said its BAD but I think its good. Wait, I’m confusing myself.
Does anyone else want to track tagged animals? No? Why not? Say you are a good old fashioned animal lover and you want to take some pics. Well, how easy would it be to track one of them dang critters down with your iPhone?
Pretty easy! All we have to do is get some scientists together and to share there info. Or how about when you get lost in the woods? What would you do to have a “radar” like Halo3? Yeah, you are the green button, the red buttons are the animals you should avoid so they don’t kill you!
Of course, this won’t help you with the ninja of the forest…Bigfoot!
Hour 3:
Merlin Mann and the gang began with basic intorductions then asked a few questions about attendence. The Chicago conference caused a small stir by showing off a shirt that was pretty harsh on the non-disclosure agreement. F_CK_NG NDA was spelled out on a crossword diagram.
The San Fran group then led out there sponsors, each talking the big talk. There was also a lot of talk battery recharging.
The rest of te keynote focused on needs of the developer and trying to accomadate those needs.
The keynote was turned off shortly after starting in Chicago.
Hour 2:
As a guy who knows nothing about code, this shit is going over my head hardcore! I have no idea what is going on! Some guy keeps talking about nills and C++. What!? I am increibly tired. I hate waking up before ten. Man, I can’t stand it.
My brother seems to be really into it. He just keeps staring at the speaker. I think he’s faking it and probably zoning out into a deep sleep. Snorefest 97, dawg! I wish I was at a clown convention. That would be not boring! Not boring at all!
