Yeah, I’m rewriting my app almost completely from scratch and every keystroke has been devastating. But moments like this, with a clear mind and visible progress, are what keeps me going.

No surprise at the result: my six-week-old iPad is toast. Apple’s gonna take it back and replace with a new unit. The bad news: they didn’t have one in stock, so I need to return to the store after it arrives. They won’t mail it to you. 😡
