Custom drawing UITableViewCell for iPhone
I’m currently developing an iPhone application for interfacing with bit.ly and uiop.me sites. These sites provide resources for shortening urls and provide clicks and tweets statistics.
For a better display of information, I was researching on how to do some custom table cell drawing using Interface Builder, and I found out that not many people like it (don’t really get why, but I’m not going to dive into that just yet). Nevertheless, I’ve found two very good and detailed tutorials at the E-String Technologies site and Chris-Software.com. Since I don’t like repeating what others have written so well, I’m providing here the links to their tutorials.

Learning to Search (+SQLite queries)
Hello,
Today I’m starting to write tutorials for iPhone, starting with a simple thing that took me a while to learn. How to make simple searches for iPhone and display it promptly in the search result?
All the commands and screenshots below were taken on a MacOS X 10.6.2 with XCode 3.2.1 and iPhoneOS SDK 3.1.2.
I started by creating a database with common people names. I’ve found some common american names for male and female, wich I got the first 50 of each one, making a simple SQLite table, that you can get it from here (zipped for convenience).

Convert EUC-JP to UTF-8 in Python
So… I study Japanese. I was searching for a way to convert some EUC-JP encoded files to the UTF-8 (now standard in most OSes), and I found myself stuck with no tools to do so.
Searching the web, I’ve found many language functions to convert lines, strings or chunk of bytes from one encoding to the other, but I have in my hand a plain-text file (a rather large one).

Online Currency Converter for MacOS
An simple online currency converter application made for MacOS 10. This simple application lets you choose an target and destination currency from a predefined list and it convert the currencies for you.
It fetches online the current convertion rate, displays it to you and the target value.
It is very simple and plain. No in-depth work. Just saves you the time to go online, search the site and do the math by yourself.
I’ll post a download link later this week.

The Dawn of a Development Company
Today I’m starting to code for making money. I’ve been coding since 1992, but never really stopped to create applications for sale.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not going to extort anyone nor stop contributing to the open-source society. I just am going to start laying some plans and goals to make useful applications. Some of them free, some not.
I’m developing with my new MacBook, so expect my software to run on Apple devices at first. MacOS X, iPhone and iPod touch. Also, there will be web applications for the masses (that can be used from any computer in any operating system). I’m using mostly Chrome and Safari, so, the applications will be ready first for those two.
Expect also some tutorials, guidelines, design, coding and tought posts, as the ideas and softwares grows, also should the movement around here.
