Screenjelly Brings Screencasts To Twitter
I recently saw an article on TechCrunch about Screenjelly, a new website that allows users to record their screen and share it on Twitter. It is actually extremely slick. All you do is tell it that you want to start recording, trust the applet, and then hit stop when you are done. Although you can’t really edit it or anything, I think it will become the TwitPic of screenshot videos on...

French Onion Soup Recipe
The other day I posted a photo on Twitter (I’m @joshholat by the way) showing off my dad’s french onion soup. A few people asked for the recipe, so I thought I’d post it here. My dad said that all you need are:
Mrs. Grass’s French Onion Soup Mix
Croutons and Mozzarella Cheese to put on top
Add some fresh onions to it (or the best would be leftover onion rings)
Hope...

Cocoa AsyncSocket and Bonjour
I recently ran into a point in the development of SimpleTask where I needed to have the iPhone version of the app communicate with the desktop version so that they can sync. The obvious choice for doing so in an efficient manner was Apple’s Bonjour as at this point in the development, a web server is out of the question for syncing data. Networking code for Bonjour can be pretty messy,...
