We deployed a brand spanking new Nurphy design about 20 secs ago (and a cool new feature). It’s working so far…
I spoke too soon. Some unlucky chap just got an error (thanks, Hoptoad error notifier). If that was you, it’ll be fixed in a jiffy
Woohoo http://Nurphy.com has an introduction video! http://bit.ly/WoOn9 (on the homepage too). How does it look?
Also we just launched Reply-By-Email (Nurphy is backwards compatible with email) and an iPhone optimised site

Can I wear jeans at the IOD london?
Has anyone used SimFinger with the latest iPhone SDK & iPhone Simulator? It rocks, but the fake apps don’t seem to be loading
Wait a second - do I actually have to pay to download the iPhone SDK, or does the Apple Dev Connection just make it appear that way?
Keep this on the down-low; I’m testing the new iPhone & iPod Touch optimised http://Nurphy.com

I’m jumping right in to some iphone optimised web dev. Does anyone know how to do the auto-hide trick on the URL/search bar chrome?
Twitter, Bit.ly, why do you do this to me? I just want to share a URL.

This weekend I’m going to open my window, repeatedly flick the light switch on & off, and pretend I’m a VIP at Global Gathering.
Why every developer should track 404s http://is.gd/1p2D4. Hoptoad doesn’t, & Google won’t notify you - guess that leaves http://Notipal.com
Goodness me. Yesterday I placed an ebuyer order with Super Saver five day free delivery (saving a tenner), ETA next Tuesday. Arrived today.

Anyone checked out http://spreecommerce.com/ (pun intended)? I’m scared by the admin controllers. An AuthLogic OS ecommerce app could be ace
Ah, Migration Assistant doesn’t touch mysql, apache php5 mod etc. Now for mysql; is it macports, package-installer, or hivelogic guide?
A partridge, a magpie, & a pheasant just walked single file, 2 ft apart, right past my window. It looked absolutely ace. Where’s Noah?
Trying to get the hard disk out of dead MBP; is there anywhere on the high street selling a T6 Torx (star) screwdriver? B & Q don’t do it!
Just received a 15” MBP 2.8ghz. Doesn’t have Myriad Pro installed (strange, right?). Now I need to figure out how to get data from old MBP.
Is it just the apps I work on or does :dependent => :destroy always raise performance concerns? :dependent => :async_destroy plugin perhaps?
…and I didn’t realise TinyPetitions was going to do that on my behalf. Cheeky monkeys.
Please retweet: petition ‘15” Macbook Pro with 1680 x 1050 resolution’ - http://301.to/2k9
Just returned from apple store, massive MBP testing session. 100% undecided. Glossy is kinda growing on me, but anti-glare is 17” only
15” MBP needs more res, glossy screen highlights the aliasing. 17” glossy looks nice except reflectionville, but anti-glare lacks the colour
Just got a great review of the 17” anti-glare Macbook Pro over the phone from @dannyhawkins. That has to be a Web 3.0 realtimr business idea
Will apple launch an anti-glare 15” Macbook Pro soon? Looks like 17” is the only option, but 1920x1200 is a lot of pixels for a 17” screen..
Best thing about a £1600 Macbook Pro? If it breaks within 2 yrs and you haven’t paid £280 to keep it running past 12 months, £750 to fix it.
