The updates I made to
blockBUZZter for
BUZZWOO! just made it to the App Store! You’ll be
happy to know that
blockBUZZter has
English support now, so if you were hesitant before because the game was only
available in German, hesitate no more! Version 1.1 also has OpenFeint
achievements, so there are interesting goals besides just getting a high
score. It’s still free, so go get
it!

I needed the list of available fonts in iOS to send to my designer. I searched
the web and found that there are lots of iOS font lists out there
(iosfonts.com,
blog posts,
Stack Overflow),
but who knows if they’re up-to-date or were ever right
in the first place? At some point, every one of them will be forgotten,
neglected, and become obsolete. I wanted to be absolutely certain that the
list I sent to my designer was correct for the latest version of iOS.

iFonts guarantees that – it
uses public APIs to determine the available fonts, so you know you’re getting
the current list when you run it on your device. Most importantly, it has a
handy email feature to send the list to a designer or developer. No need to
bookmark a web page. No need to create a list on your computer that’ll quickly
become obsolete. Just run
iFonts and you instantly
have the list that’s guaranteed to be up-to-date for your version of iOS. It’s
that simple.

Inspired by this article, we’ve changed the price for iFonts from free to 99 cents. iFonts is a valuable app – it’s a great way to email the list of available iOS fonts to a developer or designer – so it’s worth the 99 cents it now costs.

Get it on the App Store.

If you have feedback on the app, be sure to email josh@roadfiresoftware.com.

Apple just approved iFonts 1.1! This release contains performance and UI
improvements as well as a new feature: the ability to enter text to see it
displayed in a particular font. Enjoy!

A really helpful post that helped me undo a mess I made.

It’s hard for me to believe there are almost a billion people in the world who
don’t have clean water. To help them get it, you can donate or start a
fundraising campaign at charitywater.org.

Today is Blog Action Day 2010, so if
you’re a blogger, you can raise awareness by sharing this with others.

Excellent article
by Michael Critz on what fonts are available on iOS. If you have an
iOS device, you can view and email the list of available fonts with
iFonts, but if you don’t
have a device, this article is a great reference.

We’re happy to announce that we released iFonts last week! It’s our first app,
and we’re really excited about it! It’s a tool for developers and designers to
see what fonts are available in iOS that also allows you to email the list to
someone else. Check it out in the App Store and let us know what you think!

To restore your iPad from a newer version (beta, perhaps?) of iOS to a previous version of the OS (such as 3.2.2, the latest release), do the following:

1. Connect your iPad to your computer
2. Open iTunes
3. On the left side, select your iPad under Devices
4. On the Summary view for your iPad, option-click Restore
5. Browse to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates and select the .ipsw file (it should say 3.2.2 somewhere in the filename)

Update: If you’ve lost the old .ipsw file for 3.2.2, you can download it from Apple at this link.

Really simple:

git revert HEAD
