A Christmas Update
I have a confession to make, we suck at updating our blog. I blame it all on Twitter, they’ve made it all to easy for us to get away with this neglecting behavior.
Enough of that and on to the good stuff. As always there is allot of stuff is going on at the Cube. After a short road trip to the capital where we hooked up with two clients we decided to put the development of PictioNearYou on hold for a while. We are really excited about these two new projects but we can’t disclose to much information on what or with whom we are working at the moment. What we can tell you is that it is kind of big, at least for us and we think both apps will be a hit at the App Store.
Apart from the obvious coding that’s going on here we have been working a lot with structure and group dynamics within the project. SWOT’s and prejects flew hither and thither until we finally found a method of working that suited all of our needs. We found that an agile feature driven development model was the most efficient for us and we have implemented it with the awesome tool Goplan.
Christmas and New Year’s is approaching fast and soon we will be scattered all over the country to celebrate with families and friends. But we’ll keep working anyway, this is no time for rest. Here’s a little sneak peek of the new design for our webpage and logotype to get you in the Christmas spirit.
And if you want an other treat before the holidays you can always check out this little app that the Cocoa-Santa (Martin) brought us.
Breaking the Silence…
As the title indicates it’s about time we break this silence and give you an update on what’s going on in the “Cube”.
We’ve been working with Cocoa for a while now and have begun to concentrate our efforts on the Cocoa Touch framework. We also attended the iPhone Dev Camp in Copenhagen and ended up 2nd in the “Most Original Application” category. Our entry in the competition was a Pictionary based network game called PictioNearYou. Our plan is to continue working on this game and release it to the App Store.
Exiting News!
Time for a much needed update to our blog.
The days just fly by here at the “office” and we are steadily assimilating more and more information on the subject at hand - Cocoa! We have been working allot with Key-Value-Coding, bindings and are now slowly moving towards some Core Data, Core Animation and Cocoa Touch development.
I’m also proud to say that I (Magnus) have finally bought an iPhone. Our Apple trio is now complete! ^^
And now for some really exiting news: On the 3-4th of October we will be attending the iPhone Dev Camp in Copenhagen. So maybe we will see you there or if you’re not going you could just keep an eye on our Flickr feed for some updates. :)
cubeofcocoa.com alive and kicking!
Our mashup site is now running it’s first version online. Here you can look at our development blog (tumblr), our screenshot/photo feed (flickr) and our individual micro-blogging (twitter).
This is the very first version, and we’re going to improve it alot over time. Only problem is, we want to get starting on the Objective-C/Cocoa programming, and working on the site takes to much time ;-)
But for now, enjoy this glimpse into our project, cube of cocoa

The First Post
The project is well on it’s way.
- We have decided a name for our project and company to be — ”Cube of Cocoa”.
- We have bought a domain — cubeofcocoa.com.
- We have “hired” a designer to make a logo.
- We have created a Flickr group for screenshots and project photos.
- I (Magnus) have persuaded Martin to signup for a Twitter account for project related micro-blogging.
I’m currently working on a simple mashup page where we will display post from our blogg, our twitter statuses and a feed from our Flickr group.
More to come…
