Hello Cow : my first iPhone App

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

I was lucky enough to get in on the iPhone early SDK list and I’ve written my first simple application; HelloCow! Similar in concept and complexity to Hello World, the application consists of a picture of a cow. When you touch the cow, she moos. My little boy loves cows and he loves my iPhone, so I’m hoping this keeps him entertained without letting him dial 911 accidentally.  Hello Cow The permanent page is Hello Cow.

The image of the cow is graciously provided by Jordan McClements who has many beautiful images at jmcwd.com.

SMB set up

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

I’d like to mount my Linux web directories on my Mac. SMB would seem appropriate.I think I have enabled SMB on linux, but I can not seem to get the finder to connect.smb://yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy which is not a valid address gets me nowhere.smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is valid and I can not connect because name or password is incorrect.smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/html where html is the share name also fails.SMBClient may be useful for debugging.Ok, it seems to be a firewall/selinux issue. When I turn those off I can connect.System Settings:Security Level:

  1. Firewall Options: Disable
  2. Enabled, Enforcing Current

Something broke. Ok, I needed smb://192.168.1.22/html in the dialog.
