How to make a geek nervous...

Over the Jubilee weekend, I was very kindly invited to be a guest on this weeks British Tech Network Mac Show. I obviously accepted the invite, and then realised what I'd let myself in for. A live broadcast on one of their most popular shows...

However, I didn't make a complete eeejut of myself and it was great fun to be honest. Lots of laughing and joking. The show will be up on iTunes shortly, I'll post the links when they're available.

The Green Counter

Background: I've been listening to the Mac Show for a while now, and one of their regular guests (Will Green) has been know to drop a few F-bombs on the show. This causes the show host Ewen grief to remember when to edit the podcast. 

After recording the App Chat interview, I was talking with Karl and I mentioned how  worried I was about accidentally swearing. This banter flowed onto the Mac Show and Will and I joked about Ewen needing an App for that... {I'm sure you can see this coming now}

A few weeks later after listening to another bleeped Mac show, I quickly put together the Green Counter. It only took me a couple of hours to put together in Xcode - which was very pleasing as it shows my iOS prowess (haha) has improved and Xcode is much more dev friendly.

Ewen loved the idea and insisted I submit it to the App Store.  I was just think about getting it to him via Test Flight. After a small tweak, a better photo of Will (thanks Ewen), Apple accepted it.

It's a very silly app, not very complicated and it's just a bit of fun/leg pulling at Will's expense... It was debuted on the Mac Show on the 18th May and made my weekend. Got a lot of chuckles...
