Paper Bag are pleased to announce that we will be appearing at the fully booked SHOWCASE Conference in Derry, Northern Ireland on the 16th of September. We will be demoing phase one of a research project called ReDiscovery that we have worked on with the Centre of Media Research at the University of Ulster.
SHOWCASE is a one-day conference showcasing fresh ideas in cloud, mobile and web-based apps. In fitting with this, ReDiscovery is an iPhone application and cloud service that links digital site-specific historical information and augmented reality overlays to the referenced physical world of the Titanic Quarter in Belfast.
We look forward to attending this event and giving you our opinions on the future of mobile and cloud computing.

After the updated of last night I opened up the shiny new xcode 3.2.3 and tried to build TT. I got the following errors
“___save_vfp_d8_d15_regs”, referenced from:
…..
“___restore_vfp_d8_d15_regs”, referenced from:
Turns out this is to do with the new settings that are used for targeting certain OSs. The answer was on this page.
“You are building against ARM7 and it’s not allowed when targeting iOS4 and base sdk is os3.
Go to your project settings and make sure “Build Active Architecture Only” is selected. Then on active Architecture choose Arm 6 and it
will all be fine”
I did, and it was. Nice to have what looks like a scary problem fixed so easily. Google rocks.

This is only going to be of use to the people already traveling down the road of Three20. We are am using TTPostControllerDelegate’s in a lot of our table views to allow us to load data from remote Web Services. Today I was wondering if there was a way for my ViewController to know that the data for its table had arrived. Turns out, there is.
Firstly you need to implement TTModelDelegate.
Secondly you add
- (void)modelDidFinishLoad:(id<TTModel>)model {
[super modelDidFinishLoad:model];
// Do magic here
….
}
into your ViewController.
In case you are wondering there is also a modelDidStartLoad.
