http://www.derekp.com Derek Peterson's Blog Sun, 5 Sep 2010 04:33:13 -0600 en This post is a few days late, but I\'ve finally updated my iPhone app, Symmetry Pro to run on the iPad! It looks great and runs better than ever. Now is a great time to buy Symmetry Pro if you\'ve been delaying it. http://www.derekp.com/post/Symmetry+Pro+on+iPad Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:27:59 -0600 I've been on vacation since the 30th, and won't be home until the 18th. My friend reminded me I haven't posted since April so here I am! (Hi Adam!) I'll try to post more when I get home. http://www.derekp.com/post/Vacation%21 Thu, 8 Jul 2010 11:28:57 -0600 This is a response to my last post, in which I mentioned that 36% of the total users of my iPhone app are running pirated copies. Since then, (It has only been one full day), that number has jumped up to 51% of the total users of my app. Even now that people are pirating my own software, I still stick to my original attitude about piracy: the creators of the content knew at the time of creation that it would, inevitably, be pirated. I think any damage control or anti-piracy should be dealt with by the creators, not law enforcement. http://www.derekp.com/post/Piracy+Continues Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:53:29 -0600 Wow! More than 36% of the total users of my iPhone App Symmetry Pro are running cracked, or pirated, versions of the app, only one day after having been posted on several cracked app aggregators. Luckily, my app checks home each time it is launched, so I can disable it for cracked users. But who knew piracy rates were so high!? http://www.derekp.com/post/iPhone+App+Piracy Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:51:17 -0600 I'm finally taking a course on SQL. I've long been using it for nearly every project I work on, but I haven't ever known how to do complex subqueries or functions. Hopefully after I make it through this book I can make much more efficient apps! http://www.derekp.com/post/SQL Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:52:44 -0600 Finally got around to creating a free/lite version of Symmetry for the iPhone. I submitted it earlier today, and will let everybody know once it's live in the App Store. http://www.derekp.com/post/Symmetry+Free Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:51:28 -0600 Here's two free promo codes for my iPhone App Symmetry Pro! 4PX9JEM67LLA 3K7FKN73ATYY Enjoy! http://www.derekp.com/post/Free+Symmetry+Pro+Promo+Codes%21 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 14:53:29 -0600 I find and plan to post a ton of pointless humorous things on the Internet. However, because I know that the majority of the people visiting this site won't want to see them, they won't be included on the main page. To access these posts, please click the Pointless Humor page to the right. http://www.derekp.com/post/This+Humorous+Life Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:37:18 -0600 The image proposes a mind boggling way to see into the past: If we could somehow get a mirror light-years away from Earth (or find one there!), and if we had powerful enough telescopes, we could, theoretically see into the past. (Twice the number of light-years the mirror is from Earth, to be exact!) Wow! http://www.derekp.com/post/An+Ingenius+Idea Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:59:23 -0600 I finally buckled down and built myself a decent homepage. This is a "blog" of sorts, but I'm still figuring out exactly how I want it to work. Hopefully I'll have comments working by my next post. http://www.derekp.com/post/New+Page%2C+Blog+Included%21 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 19:16:47 -0600
