First Presentation Slides, and EOY
I gave my first presentation featuring some updates and announcing my new project, Sonar. I also presentated Sonar this morning at the Entrepeneur of the Year celebration.

I've recently had my first experience with the other side of the App Store, the submission, reviewal, re-submission, and approval process. I submitted my Passcode app, which was rejected a week later for being named "iOS Passcode" as simply "Passcode" was taken. The name "iOS" is Apple's property and therefore, is not allowed to be used for the app name. I should have known this before submitting. I simply named the app after the name of the repository. The new name is now "Passcode Mobile". Hopefully this will be approved and on the App Store really soon. It's an interesting experience being on the other side of the App Store, as a developer, and previously only as a customer.
I can only imagine how much different the approval process will be for Sonar, which Apple may have some issues with having it on the App Store.
It's good to be back at RPI and seeing some neat RCOS projects being built this upcoming semester. This past summer I took some courses out in Silicon Valley, but in the little free time I had, I worked on some projects from last semester and started work on my project for this semester.
Got the attention of the founder of Minus, an image sharing startup. I was unable to join the team as I was attending school out west and now I'm back at RPI, however it was nice to see that this project was getting some attention on Github.
This Safari extension was selected to be a part of Apple's Safari Extension Gallery and should be on display soon.
I also worked on a cool iOS version of this, which I find even more helpful than the Safari Extension. I won't be able to submit this to the App Store until Apple starts accepting iOS 6 apps. It's not iOS 6-only, but the version of Xcode I am using is unable to submit apps to the approval process, yet. I also plan on improving the web interface.
I'll detail my new project in another post soon.
Today I gave my second talk, see the slides here.
And there's a few things I've been working on. Since last update, I've been trying to implement better WYSIWYG editing for Blog, as well as URL shortening for Cloud, which will hopefully be ready in time for my presentation next week. I've also been working on another new project, which will discussed in my next blog post. I've learned quite a bit while working on this, like JSON, not using for loops for animation in javascript, adding listeners in javascript, and passing messages between injected and global scripts.
