It seems you cannot use the iPhone 2.0 firmware without a Twitter account, so I got one. First I started by adding some developers that I think do cool stuff. But then I got to thinking, who of my friends and contact are in there? Twitter isn't great at bulk importing, so to help me, I found TwitterWho where I could mark all my contacts in my address book, copy their names, paste it into the box and off it went and found everyone. Yay! How if I can only find a way to automatically look up Facebook friends on Twitter.... 
Filmscanner
I've been looking into what to replace the Nikon CoolScan 4000 that broke and Nikon didn't manage to fix, and in that process I started a discussion on photo.net where people came up with some really nice answers. Check out the discussion
Cocoa and SOAP tutorial
Having dumped WSMakeStubs, I'm looking at the WebServices Core again, and this time I found that Todd Ditchendorf has written a nice tutorial about it. I'm working my way through it and it looks promising
3 broke my network
I bought a 3 EazyInternet mobile broadband modem and subscription this week, thinking it would be sweet with 7,2Mbit on the go. And it works fine, cool thing having on my mac. But, alas, when installing it, the installer disabled my Airport WLAN and wired Ethernet interfaces, so currently I'm locked to using *ONLY* 3 network, which is *REALLY* slow compared to the wired network at work and the WLAN at home.

WSMakeStubs, a nightmare?
I'm not quite sure of the state of things, but fact is I've had lots of problems with WSMakeStubs, and I'm looking for alternatives. WSMakeStubs makes stubs for webservices in Objective C (and C++, but I haven't used that). WikiBooks have an excelent article on what to watch out for and tips when using WSMakeStubs, you can check it out here. I'm seriously considering just wrapping the SOAP XML myself and doing some XPath on the result, but come on, Apple, it shouldn't have to be that hard. My bugreport (#5944524) hasn't been touched, and I guess for a good reason: Apple must have zillions of them, it seems everywhere I hear about WSMakeStubs I hear how it's not working. I hope they put this tool into shape quickly, it would be a real benefit, especially with all the iPhone programming going on. Just look at how easy this is in Visual Studio, how easy Axis2 makes it. Even PHP libraries like nusoap are easy to use compared to WSMakeStubs. Apple, I'm sooo looking forward to WSMakeStubs 2.0
She said "yes"!
11 days ago now, me and Christina were on Cuba on vacation. It was three years since we met, I proposed, she said yes. We're expecting to get married in september
I\'ve been accepted as an iPhone developer
I finally got my mail from Apple with the acceptance. (ok, so I got it May 8th but I was in Cuba so I didn't know) The fee is payed and the certificate should come "any moment now"

Objective C for Max 5
I bought my upgrade of Max 5 yesterday, and I'm of course eagerly waiting for my license code. Trying to put Objective-C and Cocoa into all that I do, I found Rémy Muller's blogpost about writing Objective-C externals for Max. Also, [Electrotap]() has posted ObjectiveMax on Google Code. It's dual-licensed GPL/Commercial which of course make BSD licensed code and closed-source-but-free a non-option. I'll probably try out both and port much of my Java stuff over to have it working at greater speed and tested with Max 5
