Previously a professional software developer, now occasionally contracting but spending most of my time as a postgraduate research student.
Developer of Six to Eight (sixtoeightapp.com), an iOS client for the Stack Exchange network. It's free, so why not take a look?

Application marketing ideas Great idea about adding the app to my SO profile. I agree with the need for some kind of "App hub" site for end users. I rather think that SOF Inc. need to have a better end user master for the whole network, that could include apps that offer other ways of accessing the network or using the data. |

Application marketing ideas Ah, but how does one advertise StackList? :) |

Application marketing ideas It's a good idea in principle, but I'm keen to keep the free version of Six to Eight entirely free - no cost, no ads. It won the competition in the state it's in, and I feel it would be sleazy to suddenly make it ad laden or pricy. I do plan a Six to Eight "Enthusiast" edition in the future with more features that would have a small cost, but that won't cover any real ad buys. |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) Thanks for the feedback! This is the first post beta crash report, and I can't immediately see the cause from the crash log. Is it repeatable? I'm marginally suspect of the 4.1 beta - Six to Eight is entirely untested on it, it is unsupported, and Apple have a penchant for breaking things. I shall, of course, investigate. I'm sure I'm to blame somehow :) |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) I hadn't planned on supporting iOS 3, and the first version does not. iOS 4.0 added some significant bug fixes to UIKit that have been useful, plus I no longer have any 3.1 devices to test on. If there is a lot of interest, I could probably make it happen. |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) Oh, I'm glad to. Feedback from real users is the way to improve programs after a while. The author and friends become blind to flaws, and indurated against alternate ways of doing things. I'm always happy to receive sincere feedback, and always have beer money for anyone I run into who's sent me some ;) |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) In case it helps, I just uploaded one of the UIViewControllers from SixToEight to sixtoeightapp.com/code/SiteStatisticsView.m and sixtoeightapp.com/code/SiteStatisticsView.h . I'll add some more interesting ones later in the week when I've scan read them for bad examples. |

stackauth.com/1.0/users/{id}/associated no longer returning email_hash for some sites Thank goodness it's not just me I was just debugging this very thing, which has broken a reassociation feature of my app. |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) Yup, still working. Now we're at 1.0, I can finish the API interface rewrite, which is specced but unwritten. I need to find 2 solid days of work before it's ready for a beta. I'd still like to get it out to people before the 1st Aug - though that might not be in the App Store, depending on beta feedback and review length. |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) No, it's all either standard UI stuff or custom views. As an update, It was pretty much ready for release, then the iOS 4 GM candidate dropped and for some reason, my concurrent updates are now crashing (in a most hideous heisenbug fashion, and what seems like deep inside the APIs - though I'm sure it's my fault somehow). Whilst a good excuse for me to do the redesign of the update engine that I've wanted, it will delay release until I've had the weekend it will need to do it. Bah! |
