Awesomer than Awesome
The result of one week of work:

So, first about this supposed I-Phonographer SDK thing.
Ahhh, it is so cool! I was able to get it working on my non-intel iMac thanks to this. I haven’t looked at it that much, but from what I have seen and tried, it looks really amazing. I am thinking I want to make an iPhone app this summer. It might be a PhotoBook Touch that behaves just like the default Photos application. It would also have upload support, so you can snap a photo with the iPhone camera, and upload it instantly to Facebook.
It might also be something totally different. If you have any cool ideas for an application you want to see on the iPhone, let me know, and I might just make it.
Web Importer is coming along, just not as quickly as I would have liked. I have found very little time recently to work on it. I am also going to Eastern Europe for a couple weeks, which should be really fun, but will delay it even longer. So, hold tight.
I have gotten more than enough people who have asked to beta test it. I really appreciate all the support.
Since my last post, I have written an early version of the Facebook Friend plugin, and I have added plugin preferences (See a screenshot).
Also, I can confirm that “Web Importer” will not be the final name. Some other better and more creative names are coming down the pipeline :).
However, there are still just too many little things left to fix, so I don’t feel comfortable releasing a beta yet. Sorry, but I promise it will be worth it.
Hello…
Well, I am Adam Leonard, the sole developer for Caffeinated Cocoa.
I live in the Los Angeles area, and will enter my senior year of high school in the fall.
As you probably have not guessed, this is my blog where I might post about Magrathea, my geotagging app, and Google Importer, a plugin for Spotlight to add Google results. I also want to blog a bit about programming with Cocoa, the library used in both of my apps.
I know there are so many cocoa blogs on the internets (wow, the OS X spell checker says that is a word) so I probably will not have much to contribute, but, eh. I will be happy if I reach 10 posts this year
Anyway, I finished school last week (yay!), so now I have much more time to work on coding.
I also just released Magrathea 0.5 . There is a ton of new stuff in this version, like Flickr uploads and a beautiful new icon by Fernando Lins. In my desperate attempt to join the Delicious Generation I have tried to clean up the UI and add superfluous effects and gradients. Leopard is going to be awesome for this.
0.5 will almost certainly be the last beta of Magrathea. After 0.5, I just want to fix bugs, add some polish, and maybe finish a couple of features if I can work around some incredibly annoying Yahoo bugs. I will try to get 1.0 out next week.
And no, I have not forgotten about Google Importer. I haven’t worked on it in a forever, but I want to change that. I am considering doing a complete rewrite of it and use Yahoo’s APIs so I can add a bunch of cool features.
Also, several people have asking about how I brutally hacked Spotlight to search Google, so I will write a post about that soon.
