Complements the post title perfectly :)

Apparently OSX 10.8 and iOS 6 bring support for subscripting to native NSArray/NSDictionary, but I think you can add subscripts to your own classes already just by implementing the following methods:

  -(id)objectAtIndexedSubscript:(NSUInteger)index;
  -(void)setObject:(id)object atIndexedSubscript:(NSUInteger)index;

as weiran has shown for NS(Mutable)Array/NS(Mutable)Dictionary.

See http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ObjectiveCLiterals.html for more information, but some examples from that page:

  NSNumber *fortyTwo = @42;             // equivalent to [NSNumber numberWithInt:42]
  NSNumber *piDouble = @3.1415926535;   // equivalent to [NSNumber numberWithDouble:3.1415926535]
  NSNumber *yesNumber = @YES;           // equivalent to [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]
  NSArray *array = @[ @"Hello", NSApp, [NSNumber numberWithInt:42] ];
  NSDictionary *dictionary = @{
      @"name" : NSUserName(),
      @"date" : [NSDate date],
      @"processInfo" : [NSProcessInfo processInfo]
  };

This, especially the NSArray/NSDictionary stuff, should make coding in Obj-C so much faster and more pleasant - well done LLVM team!

PS: Not sure if the object subscripting stuff is supported yet, but that looks awesome too!

According to the author:

> Worryingly, this was enabled by default on my MacBook Air as soon as I upgraded from the copy of Lion it shipped with. I did not enable this feature.

So it looks like you don't have to enable it yourself manually. I can neither confirm nor deny this myself, just going off what the author has said.

Unfortunately the top hit on google for "nodejs ssl certificate chain" looks correct (it even works in most modern browsers) but it doesn't correctly specify the whole certificate chain for older browsers. This caught me out, so hopefully this post will help others too.

We used Lanyrd for BarCamp Southampton - awesomely useful service, very easy to use :) This new email feature should make event discovery a lot faster/easier so sounds like a great new feature to me!

Great work guys! Do you have plans to support UK/EU cards in the future?

Yes, we're from the UK :)

Yes, that was us :)

That and the amount of exercise I do each day is increasing (from zero before I started using FitFu...) and I actually WANT to do it now, which has never been the case before!

Finally! I've been wanting this for AGES!

I wonder why it's only women that were studied...

Not really "accelerometer" support, just orientation. You couldn't really build a motion sensing engine with it. WebSockets should be really cool on mobile though...
