It is no surprise that you know about Pixar if you are even remotely knew Steve Jobs and his history. And you definitely heard about Pixar’s movies Toy story,  Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Up & more.

I had my one-on-one meeting for 2012-13 appraisal this week. I was disappointed with the feedback given to me. Well, I have been _work_ing for very long time, and I know if you are not hurt then it is not an appraisal.
We received a lo..ong email from my manager couple of days before the one-on-one meeting, explaining his expectations from resources. A week after we submitted our self appraisal. Though unofficial first rule of appraisal is not to talk about appraisal, I couldn’t help myself from posting this.

Wish you all a very happy new year!

It is 2013, another chance for us/me to start a new beginning. I believed in Mayan so much, I never had a plan post 20th Dec 2012 :)

For the first time in history, I am publishing resolution list online, let see if this helps.

1. Shed at least 5kg weight
2. The iPhone4s which can’t resist myself from buying should be the last gadget for the year.
3. Donate the pile of books I’m keeping to the library
4. Publish at least 2 iOS apps
5. At least 2 mac apps
6. Publish at least 5 prototype from my idea vault.
7. Gift at least one device
8. Author 5 library/codes on Github
9. Gift/sell my other devices - Too many Apple devices 
10. Learn a new language/Framework (Ruby, Coffeescript, Node?)
11. Build at least 2 Html5 app/util
12. A vacation? I didn’t leave home for almost 4 yrs.

Other than this there are quite a lot like perfect pitch training, learn a music instrument, painting etc., I carry from previous years.

Not many of my ideas are converted to a project, this one has seen its light last week. Though I haven’t completed all the UI and features of my original vision, it is better to have one working idea than nothing.

After all the hiccups over years, we were able to witness the ultimate glory of bring back the cup to India after 28 years. India is a nation with at-least 50 million cricket experts including me. Though I’m not a professional player or an expert I do have rights to talk (who cares anyway)

I guess like me there will be many people often confuse appointments/client calls due to timezone differences.

I am not talking about people who send/receive schedules from Outlook (or similar apps).

You get the idea? You are not looking for the UI code are you?

Saurik will be doing the UI for us ;)

What if iPhone provides an accessibility option for users with bigger finger?

I found that pinch to zoom and screenshot capturing can be considered as good photo cropping tool. This was done in the following sequence screenshot + zoom + screenshot. You can see the same with the UIPageControl aligned little left instead of center.
