Testing new earphones

In the meantime my new super.fi 5 Pro earphones arrived. Yeeha. :) Although I ordered them during the holiday time (December 28th) the delivery was very fast (January 2nd). After playing around with them for almost two weeks now I want to let you know what I’m thinking about them.

Buying new earphones

The last few days I was thinking about buying new earphones. I currently use some Sony EX70 earbuds which have a nice sound but a few weeks ago I lost one of these silicon ear tips so I had to use a bigger one which doesn’t fit right in my ear. Also, they seem to disintegrate (ok, they had a rough time behind them :)) slowly. So it’s time for some new ones.

Recently listened

As I updated Synergy to version 3.1 today (although this version is already out for a few weeks) I saw that Wincent integrated support for Audioscrobbler. That is great as I already use this technology with Last.fm.
So now my account is filled with track information from the Last.fm client and iTunes.
And, fortunately, there is also a very nice WordPress Plugin named Scrobbler (created by Florian Kriener) to display recently played tracks as you can see at the bottom of the sidebar. :)

Weblogs about Mac OS X development

If you’re a mac developer you certainly subscribed some weblogs about Cocoa development with OS X.
Scott Stevenson created a nice new website called Cocoa Blogs. It bundles weblogs and tutorials from well known OS X developers.
The place to go for your daily Cocoa dose.

Great idea and very cool design.
Thank you, Scott.

New code snippet: STNKeychainAccess

A few minutes ago I updated the projects page. I added a subcategory Little Helpers in which I will publish some code snippets for different purposes.

The first one is an Objective-C class for accessing the keychain service in Mac OS X: STNKeychainAccess.

In the downloadable zip-file you can find a Xcode project with a small cocoa application which shows how this class can be used in your application.

Have fun!

Hello world!

Hi out there!

Welcome to my (new) weblog. After a long time of silence I am back again. And yes, this time in english. Why english? Well, I thought it will be a good training for me and since there are a lots of people in the world who don’t know the german language why not (try) writing english?

So, what can you expect from this blog? I think, there will be no special topic althought most posts will be about computers and software (development). I intend to create at least one post per week, but please don’t be mad at me, if I can’t make it.

Well then, let’s get this blog started… If you have any questions or suggestions please don’t hesitate to write a comment or send me an email.

Thanks!
