It was quite the ride, but this is something I've been a part of from the very start. It's insane to realise that something I worked on ended up to get a press release in San Francisco and then articles in TechCrunch, The Verge, Venture Beat or The Next Web.
TNW tested the app, finding it to be quick, and free from errors and lag.
From a QA POV, that's quite the compliment.
For Tuesday, an electro-pop cover of The National's Anyone's Ghost by the Silver Swans, as seen on Revenge.
This one and Holidays are free to download on Last.fm, and all of their songs can be purchased on Bandcamp for a buck each.
This is an inspirational Nike ad I saw on Hungarian TV (dubbed):
Right after came a spot by the Hungarian Olympic Committee:
No moral.
Juliana's planning to go on a musical road trip, and as means of funding she offers a demo single of her latest original song for whatever money people want to pay, may it be a cent or a thousand cents (or none).
Also, as a gift, all her covers from the past three years are available for download, no charge at all. That's more than four hours of mostly girl-with-a-guitar music. Check it out on her Bandcamp page and don't forget to read her message.
Please feel free to download and share all of this with anyone and everyone, because sharing is caring and the world could certainly use a little more of that.

"Aurora" is dedicated to those who lost their lives and were affected by the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. I recorded this song in London in the days following the tragedy as a heartfelt tribute to the victims and their families. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Aurora Victim Relief organization. The track is available on iTunes.
Only wanted to install an app to the iPhone using another iTunes than it syncs to... turns out that warning that says all applications will be replaced is actually true: it promptly deleted all the applications previously installed on my phone. (The test devices we have do not behave like this for some reason.)
What can you do if this happens? iCloud backups can be used to painlessly restore a phone to its original state, here's how (please note that WiFi access is needed):
First the settings are restored, then the phone reboots and begins to download all the applications, their data, the photo stream, everything, Really it's equally as magical as Time Machine: when it finishes the phone is exactly in the same state as it was during the backup. Mine even got the alarm for that morning switched on.
I was excited to start using Apple's new OS but it seems that the release has been marred by widespread problems regarding the Up-To-Date Program. Since my Air was bought after the WWDC, I am eligible for a redemption code for the App Store to upgrade to ML free of charge, which arrived in an email in matters of minutes. However, along with several others, the code I have received claims to have already been used, which I sure as hell haven't done. Reports suggest it may take days to receive new working ones. Not to try to look a gift horse in the mouth, this still could have been done a lot smoother.
Who's gonna' run #Budapest with me?
These numbers are probably as accurate as a phone GPS can be in a city where tall buildings often obscure the runner, nevertheless they look ... satisfying.
