My biggest annoyance with iOS

posted this on

I’m a big fan of a lot of things in iOS, but there are some things that annoy me. My single biggest annoyance is the way the automatic quitting of background apps sometimes messes with audio-playing applications.

Most of the time when I listen to stuff on my iPhone it is a podcast and my podcast listening has always been via a third-party app1. Since background audio was allowed the listening itself is not a problem. The problem is when I pause and some time passes before I want to resume playback. If the podcast app has been quit by the os during this pause, when I hit the play button nothing happens. Or, even worse, the Music app starts playing what it thinks I last listened to which might be a song that I listened to a month ago.

Ogrundade känsloargument för att stoppa valfriheten

Det är ju den ideologi som de står för. Den stora goda staten, som ensam vet råd för att lösa medborgarnas problem.

Det vore bra om de vore ärliga nog att säga det rakt ut, i stället för att låtsas tala om kvalitet för kvalitetsargumentet håller inte.

Här har ni en bra lista på företag att ha så lite att göra med som möjligt

posted this on

Ett helt gäng svenska företagare har publicerat en debattartikel i DN där de argumenterar för fortsatta handelsförbindelser med Saudiarabien. Ingenstans i artikeln tar de upp vapenexporten som är vad debatten egentligen handlar om.

Det här är alltså en bra lista på företag att ha så lite att göra med som möjligt.

Era jävla idioter, fattar ni inte att det är sådana som ni och sådana här artiklar som försvårar för oss som verkligen vill se en global fri marknad?

Playing through *Majora’s Mask 3D*, third three-day cycle

posted this on and tagged it with Majora's Mask Majora's Mask 3D Majora's Mask play-through Nintendo 3DS Zelda

This is not to be considered a walkthrough of Majora’s Mask 3D. There are plenty of other great resources for that online. Instead it’s a ”journal” of sort for me while I play through the game. I wanted to document it for myself and figured, ”why not put it on the blog? It helps keep the lights on here”.

This was a pure ”collection run”. I didn’t make any attempt at anything that furthered my main objective in the game. Instead I started by going to the Swamp Shooting Gallery and winning first price; a Big Quiver.

I then spent my time searching for some pieces of hearts. I found one on top of a tree just outside the Swamp Shooting Gallery area. I then headed north of Clocktown and found a hole in the ground. Inside it I faced two Dodongos and after beating them I was rewarded with another (my seventh) heart-piece.

Once night fell I found Kamaro, the ghost dancer north of Clocktown and had him teach me his dance and giving me his mask. I then used the mask to teach the Rosa Sisters from the Gorman Troupe his dance and was rewarded with yet another piece of heart.

During the first night I also headed to North Clocktown and helped the old lady who sells bombs to fend off a thief. This resulted in me acquiring the Blast Mask.

Later I once again went to the Astral Observatory and found a Moon Tear that I traded with the Deku Scrub infront of the clocktower for a Land title deed which I then used during the second night inside the Stock Pot Inn. I mysterious hand reaches out of the bottom of the bathroom asking for paper. I handed it the Title deed and was given yet another piece of heart in return.

During the second night I also listened to Guru-Guru’s confession at the Laundry Pool and was rewarded with the Bremen Mask. During the last day of this run I then headed to Romani Ranch and used the Bremen Mask to help Grog’s cuccoos grow. For this he gave me the Bunny Hood Mask which I’ve used a lot since then as it enables me to run faster.

Lastly I headed back to Woodfall Temple and killed the boss again so so I could retry following the butler in the Deku Shrine. With the help of the Bunny Hood Mask, this was no problem at all. Once I came to the finish line he gave me the Mask of Scent.

Finally I went to the Tourist Center to enter my pictograph of the Deku King in the contest but was told the competition was over, once again. The boat hag offered me another competition instead; target-shooting. I won that competition and was given a Bottle as a reward.

Budgetunderskottet sätter visst stopp för satsningar. Utgångspunkten för hur landstingsledningen genomför sina politiska prioriteringar borde vara hur mycket pengar som finns, inte den ”politiska viljan” att genomföra aldrig så behjärtansvärda satsningar.

Nu blev det till slut ett prejudikat. Prejudikatet säger att det inte finns någon straffrättslig gräddfil för journalister. Det ska vi vara glada för. Mer bekymrade bör vi vara över självsynen hos vissa medieföreträdare.

Note taking app Vesper is now substantially more expensive, and that’s a good thing

posted this on

Today/yesterday a new version of the note taking app Vesper came out. What’s more important is that Q Branch, the developers, also raised the price of it quite a bit. Here’s Gruber’s post on it:

Put another way, we’re going to charge something sane or die trying. We tried following the iOS App Store trend by pricing Vesper at just $2.99 for months. It didn’t work. Prices like that are not sane, and not sustainable, at least for well-crafted productivity apps. So Q Branch is drawing a line in the sand, and we hope other iOS developers will follow.

I think this is a good move that more people should follow. If you make something that you think are a premium product, and you have users that agree, you should be able to charge a premium price. It is ridiculous that anything that costs more than a buck or two in the app store(s) are considered expensive, no matter how good the software is question is.

Software developers have been trying to outprice each other in a race to the bottom and the only way out is probably if a few brave indie developers chose to do what Q Branch does; teach users that you get what you pay for and that an ”expensive app” (that still costs less than a cup of coffee and a donut) can be worth its price.

Here’s Dave Wiskus’ comment after the first day with the higher price:

Yesterday we moved to sane/sustainable pricing for @vesperapp. First day sales were so-so.

But first day revenue was *fantastic*.
