Comment on UIViewController Calling loadView() Multiple Times by blast_hardcheese

A better solution would be:

-(void)loadView
{
[super loadView];
…
}

otherwise you need to set vc.view yourself; loadView gets called every time someone accesses the .view property of a view controller without a view.

Comment on Menuito: Fixing Broken Sites One Restaurant at a Time by Todd Sieling

Thanks for writing up the launch, Chris. I really feel for restauranteurs who got sold that line and ended up feeling locked out and left behind on their own web presence. A big part of Menuito is about giving them a feeling of control over their voice online, even if it’s just for the mobile part.

Here’s to making dining out in the mobile age a bit easier.

Comment on A Thought on Email Security and Password Reuse by Taryn East

Hmm, interesting idea. and a very sneaky way of getting them to put in a unique password.

It works on more ways than getting them to just lie too. Think about it.

Even if I lie and say “no” – if I actually put my gmail password, there’d be this niggling doubt in my mind that they wouldn’t believe me… and might try my password on gmail anyway… so I’d better change it to something that’s different!

Exactly. I’m wondering if there’s a substantial psychological difference between “I know I shouldn’t do this but…” and the act of actively deciding to lie about your own behaviour, in effect to yourself.

Interesting idea. A variant at signup or password change might be to ask a person to agree to use a unique password, much as one might agree to a general terms of service. Asking them to be honour-bound also won’t work for many, but for others it might give just enough pause to come up with even the slightest difference from an over-used password.

Comment on DataMapper on Red Hat EL5 by chris

Good to hear from you Dan! Just to be absolutely clear, I have no complains about DataMapper at all – it’s completely saved my ass on the project I’m using it for and as far as Linux-type issues go, the one outlined above was mild by comparison! I’m thoroughly impressed by how easy it was to tie into an existing database.

You guys on the list were awesome for helping out so quickly and thoroughly.

I do attend the RB meetups occasionally in Vancouver; I’ll keep my eye out for you. I figure I owe you at least a beer
