1. How do you tackle a deadline?
In short - badly! Due to the pressures of university and the fact that I work alone most of the time, my time management is all over the place. I only have my leisure time in which to work, and must therefore struggle to motivate myself into getting the job done; if a project is getting awkward, I end up leaving it for a while to find something more cheery to do.
2. Give us a brief breakdown of your workflow on a given project.
Usually I start off with a 'cool-looking' idea in my head, and at once I jump into ...

1. How do you tackle a deadline?
I work. Deadlines are just the motivation I need to sit down and buckle in until the work is done.
Leading a team is a different matter. Those projects are larger, and I've learned the hard way buckling in is not my best move.
My strategy as an engineering manager is to ensure my team has what they need to get their work done. That can entail anything from provisioning food and caffeine, to coordinating between teammates.
Then I just step ...

1. How do you tackle a deadline?
I tackle deadlines the same as anyone else, it's all about priority management. I first need to find out exactly
what the client wants (when I can) and then start working on versions and checking up with them to make
sure they're satisfied along the way. Honestly, I wouldn't say I had too many deadlines in the past, the work
was generally open.
2. Give us a brief breakdown of your workflow on a given project.
First I'll receive the request from the client for work, and if taken, they explain what their project is. I'll ask if
they have any ideas already in their head before I start working. ...
Get it "here".

Steven Troughton-Smith will be hitting us with a version update to his iPhone app Speed.
Here's a pre-release mockup "… A mere glimpse of Speed 2.0!"
It looks like a healthy upgrade to Speed version 1, available now at the App Store for $0.99.
Version 2 (when released) will be priced at $1.99, though if you purchase Speed now, you get free upgrades for life.

I am fortunate enough to have had a chance to play with United Lemur's first iPhone app offering - Puzzllotto.
Nice interface and amazing soundtrack.
I want more. Can't wait.

After searching long and hard (google did all the work), and bypassing the DIY route, I found the TC2 portable iPod charger.
It uses two "AA" batteries and works beautifully with my new iPhone.
Finally, a use for the twenty NiMH batteries I have left over from my old digital camera.

Once upon a time I coveted piles of books, and literally tones of collectables.
I have to admit that my collecting days are over.
Don't get me wrong. I love books and most tangible media, but part of my lower impact aspirations include not collecting more "Stuff".
Gadgets? They don't count as stuff do they? Hypocritically speaking.
Missing the point.

Due to limited availability, Canadian telecom giant Rogers' iPhone 3G sales totaled only 30,000 during the first week of availability with the majority of sales made on the launch day July 11th, according to a source inside Rogers.
No word on Fido sales figures.

How long until Apple introduces the official Mac App Store.
Users can Try and Buy Apps using iTunes' App Store, the most successful App storefront ever (iPhone App Store).
The latest edition of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) provides developers with a full development and publishing environment. Xcode 4.0 makes publishing Apps and App Updates as easy as one click.
I have linked to Wil Shipleys venture Golden-Braeburn.com recently, and while I see a very successful niche for him, I'm sure a large section of the development community will drink the Cupertino KoolAid.
Apple has a way of pushing in house integration (ala iLife, .mac, etc.). Usually the features are neat, simple and ...
After reading this tuaw article's comments, I was informed about logmein, a remote desktop webapp. Works great, it's free, and it can turn your iPhone into a mobile desktop computer. Slow = yes.

An email (including the image below) perks my interest.. as was intended.
WWDC 2008 "A landmark event. In more ways than one... Everything Mac. Everything iPhone. San Francisco, June 9-13, 2008."
This leads me to think that either a divergence or synergy is about to happen. Apple, a long proponent of single devices for single purposes, seems to be swaying the way of convergence lately.
I for one think a tablet would be cool, though I'm really in the mood for a Mac version of the Eee PC.
Here it is.

This inclusion in the Al SiO2 series, isn't even an existing Apple Product. While it does look exactly like a Photoshoped iPod touch...., in distorted reality it is so much more.After a fruitless search for a mobile, streamlined way to extend the storage capacity of the iPhone and iPod touch (without nand soldering or time travel skills), the *Apple Stream concept is born.The Apple Stream is a mobile WiFi content server, the same size as the iPod touch.You connect to it as you would any wireless network, and navigate the content through a built in ...
