I can’t wait to get the full Profit Train version. I’ve been using the beta and love it. It has everything I needed in Billable. Get on it boys!

I swear there used to be a Windows version of this; used it throughout college. What happened to the Windows version?

Mike, what about “Making client billing fun and easy”. It’s basically about billing customers, right? You want to get paid for your services and the whole process should be as painless as possible. The invoice and accounting part is just necessary evil.

There is no technical reason why you couldn’t use a suffix at the end but traditionally all namespaces in Cocoa have been done as prefixes so it would stand against tradition in some ways.

I am just starting to get into programming, but is there any reason why you couldn't use a suffix, if the prefix is ugly?

So you'd have "doTheOtherThingcb:" instead of "cbdoTheOtherThing:"

I know that prefix is the traditional way to do it, but is there any reason other than tradition to do it that way?

My preferred format would be "doTheOtherThing_CB", so the fact that it is your method stands it a bit.

I just learned of this awesome initiative to raise money for Haiti’s recovery after coming back from a biz trip. I really wish I would have heard of it earlier! I tried to get in touch with the guys running Indie+Relief, but they informed me it was too late to get my apps listed.

So, even though I’m not listed on their site, I’m still donating all the proceeds from my iPhone apps on January 20th to Doctors Without Borders.

App #1 - “Can I Drive Yet?” - Highest ranked BAC utility on the iTunes App Store - $0.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/can-i-drive-yet/id336370544?mt=8

App #2 - “Guard” - A challenging board/strategy game, a la chess - $0.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/guard/id330219684?mt=8

Glad the tip helped!

My opinion is that you should always, without exception, prefix categories you add to classes you do not own. Yes, it's ugly, but the alternative is possible breakage that's hard to debug, as you found out :).

As an aside, Apple shouldn't be adding private, unprefixed categories to public classes, either. I'd file a bug against DotMacSyncManager.framework.

Thanks for the tips Mike. I used em a bit tonight and eventually tripped over the issue (colliding category methods only on 10.6). Hope to post more about the issue on the blog soon.

Mike, seriously, that is really lame. Do you think people will ever trust you or your company again? Mid life crisis at 30??? Are you serious. Are you freaking kidding me??

You act like you are only going to live to 60. Trust me 30 is not a mid life crisis any more, 45 or 50 is. You are still very very young, but you sound like you are defeated and an old man.

I have already moved on to a prodcut called Billings, you lost my business for now at least.

Well, that NUL didn’t quite come out right. The thing in the single quotes in the parentheses is supposed to be a backslash-zero.
