Mobile HTML5 Offline app links
Posted by shawson in Android Development, HTML5, iPhone on September 14, 2011
I’m looking at writing some apps I did on the iPhone a while ago (the first of which will be Karma) to be mobile html5 offline accessible apps, using html5 audio/ canvas etc- so I’ll use this post to collect some useful links for research;

Mac Safari Web Developer Tools (inc javascript debugging!)
Posted by shawson in HTML5, Javascript, Mac OS X on June 13, 2010
make sure you don’t have safari running, then go to the terminal window and type;
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
You will have a new menu when you launch safari entitled “develop” in safari 5, and “debug” i believe in earlier versions.

Posted by shawson in GDC - Austin '09, iPhone on July 9, 2009
Just booked my tickets for the Game Developer Conference, Austin Texas! Woo! Signed up for the iPhone game development sessions– quite exciting. My very first trip to the US, and it will be to, what I’ve always imagined to be, the most stereotypically American part of America I could possibly visit (controversial , I know)!
Showing Hidden files on the Mac OS

I created the the fnt file using http://www.n4te.com/hiero/hiero.jnlp Turns out that as it creates the underlying png for some reason it saves it in a flipped format, therefore you need to load the png into your favourite graphics package […]
