    Moving all are files and the feed to Linode should now be complete and everything should be working again.

    Now all we need to do is get a new episode out.

  • CDN Down

    Posted on Oct 1, 2017

    Our feed and audio files are hosted on CDN 77. Each year I buy bandwidth which should be enough to cope with downloods for a year. A year ago I bought quite a lot of bandwidth and I should have plenty left. However it seems CDN 77 only allow purchased bandwidth to be used for a year. So even though I have plenty of the bandwidth left CDN 77 have stopped serving the iDeveloper files unless I purchase more bandwidth.

    I have decided I have had enough of paying the for bandwidth I never get to use so I am moving the feed and files to my own server on Linode.

    As of this moment the feed and the audio files are not available but I am hoping they will be back within 24 hours after they have copied to Linode and the DNS has refreshed.

  • UIKonf Talk: MVVM-C

    Posted on Jun 6, 2016

    UIKonf is an independent , locally lead conference for iOS developers run in Berlin. May this year saw it's forth instalment and I had the great privilege of not only attending for the first time but of also giving a talk.

    As with any good independent developer conference, UIKonf values the community aspect of the conference as much as the tech and makes great efforts to provide lots of networking time, good food and plenty of drinks. This makes meeting people a lot easier meaning you come away not only educated but with some great new friends.

    UIKonf was also the first conference I have attended that has provided live captioning for people with hearing difisulties. This a great service and I hope a lot more conferences look to do this in the future. During my talk I did have a little bit of fun with the live captioning team by purposely using some pretty difficult and random words. They handled it wonderfully with humour and took it in the fun spirit in which it was intended. It's little things like that that show all the people behind a conference get it and want to be a part of making it great.

    Anyway my talk on MVVM-C has now been published to youtube for all to enjoy or hate as your preferences dictate.
