Identical Cousins

Technology


Recorded 20 Feb 2013. You can download the m4a file. We talk about Brent’s first three weeks of indie life. Spoiler: he’s enjoying it. Then, because Michael has a cold, we lose our senses entirely and talk for a while about the Mailbox queue. Brilliant marketing? Pure evil? Making lemons out of lemonade? A nice user experience? A mix of all the above? Also: cousin Michael gives us a sneak peek at Fantastical 1.1. But his cold makes him misspeak: he says the app uses the word “pasteboard” but in reality it uses the word “clipboard.” This episode is sponsored by Windows Azure Mobile Services. Mobile Services is a new component of Azure — a very high-level component that makes creating web services for mobile apps (database storage, user authentication, push notifications, email, and so on) easy. (Really easy. Startlingly simple.) Some things we mention: Mailbox Fantastical Okay, that’s just about it. Brent’s audio is a bit noisy. He’s working on it. (He has a Blue Yeti. Good mic. The problem isn’t the mic.) Also: we used a curse word somewhere in the podcast. The f-word. So we marked this episode as explicit for iTunes.
