Try it, you won’t be disappointed. Because we’re nice guys, muBlip is a universal binary, which means the same app will work on your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

NSSugarShack
A bunch of iPhone developers from the Montreal area are going to the sugar shack on saturday April 24. We’re calling the meeting NSSugarShack :) So far, we have gathered folks from WhereCloud, Edovia and para9. This is not a BarCamp; there won’t be technical presentations or anything of the sort. This is purely a social event, just devs meeting up to discuss iPhone OS 4.0, their shiny...

Make jrails_auto_complete work with Safari
In the process of migrating an application from Prototype to jQuery, we used jRails as an intermediary step for our rjs templates. As a replacement to Rails’ autocomplete plugin we tried Marty Zalega’s jrails_auto_complete plugin. Unfortunately, there was a problem when using it with Safari: we were not able to move up and down the suggestion list using the up and down keys.
The plugin listens...

While playing around with QuickTime pro, I found the solution I was looking for. QuickTime can export various versions of a movie and create a script that serves the most appropriate...
