A couple of months ago I wrote a blog post on xcconfig files. Today I got a tweet reference from James Dempsey who has taken the concept of xcconfig files adoption to a higher level by building the BuildSettingsExtractor utility app available on github.

Christmas around the corner…
It’s been ages since I last wrote. I’ve been busy and I haven’t had the time to write, which is a shame. Hopefully the holidays will get me back on track. I have some Cocoa Topics I want to write about. In the meantime I wish you all a Merry Christmas and…

I got these irritating Swift Compiler warnings that I had to add the frameworks for SystemConfiguration and MobileCoreServices . I was prompted to add…
Hands-on iPhone6 and iPhone 6 Plus
I’ve had my first hands-on experience with the new iPhone6 and iPhone6 plus. I am one of those iPhone developers and users who defended the small form factor. The iPhone 6 Plus is humongous. Far to big for my preference. The iPhone 6 is a lot better for my taste,…
Autumn Recharge
I am looking forward to some new professional challenges in the near future. In times like these I just love to withdraw to rest and try to focus on myself, where I am and what I am doing. No better place to do so than in Dalarna, all alone at…
Oculus Rift DK2 – first try
So, yesterday night I was invited to my good friend Joachim Bengtsson (nevyn on twitter) who had gotten his hands on a DK2 of the Oculus Rift. I remember trying the arcane VR-goggles of the late 90’s, and the disappointment I felt over the laggy response and poor frame rate.…
