Tìoraidh!
This is a place that I will use to place random rants about Computers, the state of Computer Science education, and my current projects. I have been in the bleeding edge of the computer industry since the mid 80s. I have seen the boom and bust of our industry from AI to the .coms. Current projects include OOSTehys (open source Ocean Observation), JmDNS (Open source java implementation of Bonjour) and Various IPhone Apps.
Relax and enjoy the ride!

Top Cat Free
TopCat Free was rejected on 8/11. I did not follow the rules and can agree that according to published guidelines, the app as submitted should not have been accepted. Bet you have not heard of a developer saying that before! Anyway it was fixed and resubmitted on 8/11. This free app has ads from GreyStripe. I noticed on the GreyStripe site that TopCat Free was played yesterday on an IPhone version 3.0.1. This must mean that it is getting close to being accepted (or rejected). It has been taking a long time (14 +days) to do reviews and get apps up on the store. They are swamped! Which means an app that is rejected a couple of times takes over a month to get posted on the store. Way too long in my opinion. If I was making my living doing applications, that would be a huge hit to potential revenue. You can not time releases with any certainty. Say I had an app that could follow football stats. How can I be sure that the app would be posted before the end of the season, let alone the end of it! You really gotta plan ahead, allow for 6 weeks and put in your ready date accordingly. Bummer Really.
