Well, as indicated, the iPhone app is done enough to have been submitted to the store. The app website is up at stereostreamapp.com. It’s pretty bare, but it does what it needs to for now. Here’s to hoping that Apple decides my app is good enough for the store – and then that people decide that it’s good enough for their iPhones. I don’t know exactly how broad my target audience will wind up being, but hopefully it’s big.

In either case, I now have an iPhone developer license, meaning I’ve already got the 3.0 SDK. I haven’t even looked at it yet, though. Sometime soon.

My interview with Apple went very well last week, and I just talked my contact again. He said that he would get back to me either way within a few days. I’m hopeful. The one slightly disappointing sign is that the former intern didn’t ever call me, so I’m hoping that doesn’t mean that I missed the cut. If so, there are other jobs. A lot of doors have opened, and one of them will lead somewhere.

The math test spoken of in the earlier post was just returned to me today, and I scored an 86. The section average was 58. My study-mate’s section average was also in the 50s, and Tyler’s section average was 61. So, I scored quite well. I’m pleased with how I did.

Work is going well. I finished work on the scheduling project, which is a relief. It was difficult. I didn’t even know where to begin, but once I got my teeth into it, the bug surfaced very quickly. It turned out that Apache was randomly shifting time zones back and forward by one hour. Absolutely bizarre. We restarted Apache, and I put in code to always lock the app into a single time zone. Hopefully it won’t come up again.

I’m presently doing a very short project for a small group. They need to be able to upload a zip file and then only allow one person to download and work on it at a time. It’s drop dead simple. It’ll be done tomorrow, upon which I will continue working on the inventory project.

Well, I’m off to the temple. It’s quorum temple trip night. It’s wonderful to have a temple so close.

See you all in just about a month.
