One of the things I found very strange is the fact that most operations that came with iOS prior iOS 5 which revolved around UIImage didn’t take into account the orientation of the image. This meant that if you want to read a picture from the camera roll and resize it, you’d have to roll [...]
I had to backup an S3 bucket so I whiped out a small script to clone a bucket. It’s written in Python and depends on the excellent Boto library. If you are running Python < 2.7 you’ll also need the argparse library (both available also via pip). View the gist here: https://gist.github.com/1275085 Or here below:

This is a bit of shameless promotion but I think it’s worthwhile never the less :-) One of the things I did lately on my day job (Yedda) was to integrate it with Twitter (check the integration here and add Yedda as your friend!). Yedda is all about sharing and us sharing things like code [...]
I ran into this post today. It mainly talks about the extremes a great deal of developers “ping-pong” between during their life times. Catching the buzz words as they fly and instead of reviewing them and taking a few pointers that can enhance their current development procedure and cycle they just completely and utterly soak [...]
