@streakmachine People like to complain how the web service APIs (read: iCloud) are difficult to get working, but based on what I have read once you get it right it just works™ perfectly. Google's offerings, on the other hand, seem to be easy to get working, but there are a lot things that need to be just right before they work as they should.
Apple doesn't get (online) services! Oh wait, did I say Apple, I meant Google…
Spent the afternoon banging my head against the keyboard just because 2 Google services can't talk to each other due to version mismatch. And I can't update the one that should be because it's running on an emulator and you simply can't do that. Why? Because Google reasons. #fuckthisshit
@kdfrawg Yes, but assuming that the number of external events going down just for the sake of San Jose not being San Francisco is just plain stupid in my opinion.
@thedan84 Also, this is the first time in my 5-yo developer career when I get to start a project from scratch. I have always dealt with existing code base, and in most cases with a big legacy app/system.
@thedan84 Bluetooth device and a C library that needs to be rebuilt with Android NDK to be used in the app. I find both tasks equally challenging and interesting.
"Of course, the change in venue could negatively impact some of the social events that pops around WWDC including third-party conferences, meet-ups, and parties."
What. The. Fuck? Seriously, people are fucking worried about this? Geesh…
@matigo I have only seen it with Finnish dubbing, but I will be watching it with my wife in English once it gets released on DVD/Blu-Ray. While watching it I noticed a few jokes that did not get translated that well. Looking forward to hearing the original version of those.

@kdfrawg Fortunately it was not tongue in cheek. It will be an interesting spring for real.
@thedan84 This is actually really fun project, I just need to dive into work to get everything done. The best part is that it is started from scratch. The second best part is the integration with some cool external components.
