I have used this command sparingly in the past and I recently learnt more options by solving couple of my problems. I really don’t know whether grep is the right choice here, but hey! it worked :-)

Chrome updated its policy to not to install extensions and scripts outside of Google webstore by default. (Gatekeeper, everyone wants to be the police)

The idea supposed to be named as iBooks 2.0 well it is taken by Apple yesterday :)

The original pointers of this idea from my notebook are

Here are the collection of snippets to do CRUD operation with ZKSforce (Force.com toolkit for iOS).

Remember this is a SOAP based API, there is a new alternative library available from salesforce called MobileSDK for iOS.

If you are like me, who use more than one machine to develop iOS app and wants to install 4.x and 3.x simulator without re-downloading it on every machine? then I’ve got a solution.

I recently uninstalled all previous versions of xcode (I had all xcode from ios 3.2.x) to install 4.2 on my MBP. Although I freed around 30 GB, noticed an issue shortly. A process named BTServer is utilizing high CPU usage.

Update (2016-01-20): The app is now available on Mac App store.

Additional menu clock for your Mac. A minimalist clock to display time of different timezone of your choice.

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.

One of my long time wish to write a Chrome extension completed last week. It all started when my answer was down-voted at apple.stackexchange.com, the original answer was based on my experience sometime ago I was searching to migrate my links between my Instapaper accounts.

I recently started using Git as my revision control tool. Impressed by the use of branching and merging, I create and merge a lot of branches. Our company use SVN and other peers were not aware/interested in Git. So I took the initiative to use svn-git. After months of progress I left with so many branches for features, svn, QA-release and quick-fix for released builds.

I’ve recently stumbled upon studio.html5rocks.com and found the cool trick to display desktop notifications like Gmail.


HD for good configuration computers | SD for little out of date computers

For those who wants to see all levels without completing a level or struck in a level, here is the hack, copy the following code, paste it on url textbox and hit enter.

Yes, every post you come across suggest the same thing, hold your power button and home button for X seconds. Though it is true, unfortunately I had a couple of situations my iphone doesn’t respond to the key combinations. And some time it is very frustrating to hold your buttons so long.

Until recently I was not aware of the shortcut _Ctrl + Cmd + C _

It captures the complete content of the iPad simulator to the clipboard, You can save it to a file by File -> New from Clipboard with preview.app

Update: Check the extension and more information @ Idea to action: Tile this 

I was recently hunting images for a sample design. I was trying to find a pattern that can be tiled/repeated to fill.

It is unfortunate to know that Yahoo is going to shutdown/transfer the awesome Delicious bookmarking service.

Evernote does not support direct import of bookmarks from delicious as it does with Google notebook.  I wrote this script to move my delicious bookmarks to evernote for my use.

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).

I created this custom UISplitViewController as one of my iPad project required Split view for only one screen. The default UISplitViewController provided by Apple can only be added to UIWindow which means you can’t use it with normal UINavigation based project with only one splitview screen.

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

Saurik will be doing the UI for us ;)

If you use GotoMeeting to record video of the shared screen, make sure that you DO NOT use G2M3 codec. It does a great job in compressing the size of the video but it is not compatible with OSX or any OS other than Windows.
