Congratulations to Mr. Layne Lev, who correctly guessed…

Iron Man 2

See you next Thursday.

Well, you can forget it. We’re safe. America is secure. You want my property – you can’t have it! But I did you a big favor.

I have successfully privatized world peace.

Ok, quick, what movie! Send your guesses here.

We’re already Netflix subscribers, I love the service, but a dedicated box for $99.00 sounds good. Add that to the list of Apple stuff I’d like to own.

Here’s what I did.

@protocol Blah<NSObject>
-(void)somethingHappened
-(void)somethingElse
@end

Then I implemented the protocol.

@interface NeatoStuff : OtherStuff<Blah>
...
@end

Later, in a different hunk of code I want to send a message to that implementation, so I did something I’ve now done many, many, times. I check to see if the delegate I’ve been given actually answers the message(implements the method) I’d like to send.

SEL delegateSelector = @selector(somethingHappened:);
if ([_delegate respondsToSelector:delegateSelector])
{
    [_delegate performSelector:delegateSelector];
}

It didn’t work, and I couldn’t see why. Can you? I’ll wait, go ahead and look it over again, I’ll play some Jeopardy music while you work.

Did you spot the problem? It’s one little character. This…

SEL delegateSelector = @selector(somethingHappened:);

Should be this…

SEL delegateSelector = @selector(somethingHappened);

Yep, that’s it. One little “:” had me pulling my hair out, and I just couldn’t see the problem to save my life, at least not for about 10-minutes of outright frustration.

The message doesn’t expect to receive arguments, so the “:” is not necessary. Note to self: Don’t do that again.

Come on in, the water’s fine, and we’re doing lots of cool stuff. You even have different locations to choose from; San Luis Obispo, San Jose, and Los Angeles.

Oh, and the site fails to mention LEVEL Secret #2.

One, guess, no winner.

The correct answer was…

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

See you next Thursday.

Here’s the line, good luck.

Actor #1: You know, for an old man you ain’t bad in a fight.
Actor #2: Thanks.
Actor #1: What are you, like, 80?

Ok, quick, what movie! Send your guesses here.

I just installed Dropbox on Kim’s Mac and this is one of those tools you need in your daily workflow. It’s just necessary.

Anywho, looks like a pretty nice place to work, especially if you dig San Francisco.

We have a winner, Mr. Prasenjeet Dutta! Congratulations Prasenjeet!

The correct answer was…

Life of Brian

Prasenjeet answered via Twitter, which works just fine, and he used the #mlotw hashtag so I could find it this morning.

Thanks for playing, we’ll see you next Thursday.

I was just talking to a co-worker about this the other day. Apple managed to wake up the smartphone market. Now we have such great choices; iPhone, Android, and Palm.
