May 23rd, 2011Making of Tron: Legacy – Audio Awesome mix
May 19th, 2011This is an outline of how I produced my Tron: Legacy Audio Awesome Soundtrack mix, which you can read more about and download here.
A warning: This post is quite long, and has a fair bit of detail. I wanted to put this info out there, but haven’t spent a huge amount of time tidying it up or making it digestible. Ask questions in the comments if you’d like more info or clarification.

Building an iPhone webapp
January 28th, 2010This post is in progress.
Making updates and retrieving data after the initial load needs to be done using ajax. If you try to load another web page from a webapp, the iPhone takes the user into safari.
Apple have good details of the meta tags you can use to customize how iPhone handles your webapp. Read the rest of this entry »
