Canon Pixma Pro9000 MkII on Snow Leopard
Recently I bought a Canon Pro9000 MkII printer. About a week later, Snow Leopard was released. I decided I wasn't too fond of the drivers that came with Snow Leopard and wanted the "official" ones. However, they won't install on anything beyond Leopard, unless you do some tweaking. If tweaking is what you'd like, you've come to the right place. In this little post, we'll install them.
Phone numbers of Oz
Went through a bunch of old junk and found my old SIM card from when I lived in Brisbane. Popped it into my iPhone, luckily I had disabled the PIN code. Settings, Mail-Contacts-Calendar, Import SIM Contacts... voila, I have my REALLY old phone book back. I wonder if those guys still have the same numbers.

Well Tempered price rise
As announced in the end of january, the price for Well Tempered has increased, and will continue to do so for the next couple of months. If you want it at a reduced price, be sure to get it now before the next price increase.
Well Tempered Status
I'm working on a couple of updates for Well Tempered, both for adding more temperaments and for refining the UI after a couple of users have been so kind as to provide useful suggestions. That's great, I love that kind of feedback! What's not so good is that Well Tempered is now being distributed outside the AppStore, without my consent. I'd love some feedback on how to handle such trials. I really hope people getting it through those channels consider upgrading to the retail version as there have been some important improvements since the initial release.
Clang for iPhone
Jeff wrote a nice Clang introduction on Clang that I ran on my Well Tempered code to check out what bugs I could find. I had some convention breaches and a couple of minor leaks that would turn up when the program was closed and its state was saved, so while not beating me up, it was great to get the feedback on what parts I had been ignoring so far. I hope to bring these advices into my code from now on, and I'm sure I'll be running Clang frequently to get this great feedback
Well Tempered picked up by some blogs
Zicos have picked up the Well Tempered iPhone application after a feature in Synthtopia. The article was also tweeted about. Well Tempered was also featured on iPod Touch Fans by the App Store Bot. Nice to see it being picked up
synthPond
While checking out other OSC applications than pOSCa and OSCar in the AppStore I came across Synthpond lite that looks really cool. Just thought I'd let you know
lasttweet.py
I thought I'd share this little piece of code. Nothing revolutionary, but all right for Twitter maintenance. I didn't want to be following lots of people that don't post, so I wrote this little utillity that lists when people posted last time. It requires [python-twitter][1]. To get a nice list of who hasn't posted in 2009, do
python lasttweet.py | grep -v 2009
Likewise, if you want to see everyone that last posted in January and have it sorted by what day in January, do:
python lasttweet.py |grep Jan|cut -d ' ' -f 3-9|sort -n
Here follows the code:
`
api = twitter.Api(username='username', password='somepassword')
page = 1
users = api.GetFriends(page=1)
friends = []
friends = friends + users
while(len(users) == 100):
page = page + 1
users = api.GetFriends(page=page)
friends = friends + users
Three little iPhone apps
Good fun: today I submitted three little iPhone apps for review, hopefully they'll be up in the AppStore within long. The first is Well Tempered, my tuning application, that'll be for sale. It's for tuning early music instruments such as harpsichords and organs and will have many early music temperaments. Do see the product page. Then there are pOSCa and OSCar, free OSC controllers that'll get electronic musicians up from their chairs and performing. Can't wait to have them online and I wonder what people will think of them. I like them very much. Updates will of course be provided as necessary.
