This week saw a lot of work involving Node.js. For those that don’t know, Node Knockout is also taking part this week. Unfortunately I’m too busy to take part – noooooooo. Anyway, on with the show:
- Deployed Green Man Gaming‘s new backend systems! This was a complete rewrite from Tornado/Python to Node.js. This was a lot of work – but well worth it. Everyone noted just how much faster the new architecture was. For me, it’s not about the speed, but the fact that it is now fully asynchronous, all the way down the stack.
- Having a love/hate relationship with TweetDeck on Android. Even on the latest Beta, it is using way too much battery to be on the phone. Sorry Max!
- Did some field testing of my Android application to discover I get Force Closes in the oddest of situations. Nothing major, looks like one gets Intent floods in certain network scenarios.
- Liking the new iTunes Connect screens for money handling. My word they are just ACE! So much easier to handle/deal with.
- Picked up a iPod Touch 3G. Why? Well, new iPod Touch will come out next week and I wanted the certain processor/RAM combination. The only device I am missing is the iPhone 4G – which I still can’t be bothered with. Seriously. I know I will have to at some point… but I’ll put it off for as long as possible in the mean time.
- Sticking to the first beta of 10.6.5 for now. Simply because I don’t want to have to deal with the VMWare USB device problem that they mark as a Known Issue.
Another slight shorter update… need to sort that out! Well, it is summer. Another “This Week” post next week then!
