		<title>i&#8217;m a bad parent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey folks! Long time no see! Sorry about my long absence. I started a new job and they are running me ragged. I work on a big complicated iPhone app during the day, so I don&#8217;t feel super inclined to work on yet another iPhone app on nights and weekends.
What makes me feel extra sucky [...]]]></description>

		<title>ongoing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple just gave me a little over 500 bucks for a month of Hearts Net sales. That seems pretty good to me. Plenty good enough to keep maintaining it. It appears that the iPad version of the program has boosted sales a bit.
So, I&#8217;ll be working on new features and more devious player robots in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hearts Solo 3.0.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new version of Hearts Solo is available today. This one has all the latest stuff I&#8217;ve added to Hearts Net, including the theme selection feature, and native iPad support.
You still can&#8217;t play a game all the way through, though. This app is just a no-cost way to preview the features available in Hearts Net.

		<title>Hearts Net 3.0.0 for iPad!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well! I am as surprised as anyone that I have managed to jump through Apple&#8217;s series of fiery hoops and get the iPad version of my game into the App Store. And it&#8217;s still two days before normal humans will be able to get their hands on actual iPads. This version runs on iPhones and [...]]]></description>

		<title>fix for game counts coming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I&#8217;ve learned about my hardcore players: you guys love the games played and games won counters. I thought it was a silly trifle when I added that feature, but many people consider it indispensable. Some people report they&#8217;ve played many hundreds of games, which they know due to the counters, of course. One [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hearts Net bug help needed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am still getting a fair number of reports for two particular bugs, but nobody seems to want to get involved enough to help solve them. If you can, please take five minutes and help me fix these things.
Here&#8217;s the first one. Some people say they are still getting the &#8220;stuck robot&#8221; problem. This is [...]]]></description>

		<title>help improve the robots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Hearts Net 2.1.1, I added a feature where you can upload your current game state to my web server. It&#8217;s the very last thing on the Settings view, labelled &#8220;Upload State.&#8221; Among other things, this is useful for helping me improve the robots.
Let&#8217;s say you see the robots make a card play that you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hearts Net 2.1.1 available</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hearts Net 2.1.1 is now available for download from the App Store. This is a free upgrade for anybody who has already purchased the program.
I tried to resolve the &#8220;shy robot&#8221; problem, described in an an earlier blog post. I can&#8217;t be sure I&#8217;ve fixed it, because that situation never happens to me personally. Perhaps [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone: nibless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just had a look, and my blog is the number one hit on google for the search phrase &#8220;iphone nibless.&#8221; That leads to a blog post I wrote on the subject last year. I linked to another blog that explained how to accomplish such a goal, but that blog post has since been taken [...]]]></description>

		<title>UIProgressHUD replacement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear internet: I have been searching for a UIProgressHUD replacement for many, many months. Why have you failed me? I don&#8217;t suppose it was because of that other, similarly named UIProgressHUD replacement? Which I am not going to link to or name, because it sucks. Sorry, yes I am a jerk, but it does. If [...]]]></description>
