Send us a text

Full on prep mode for Do iOS by now. What is it. Just 5 or 6 weeks remaining. When I am preparing this episode, there were just 2 tickets remaining. So we will have a full house. I was also looking into putting together a workshop the day before the conference and that has now been put together thanks to the gracious support of Jeremy Barger. You might know him as TheSwiftNomad on Twitter. He is looking for people to take a look at his Swift Developer Academy. So take a look.

Two weeks since my previous episode. I had my reasons. My family and I went on a trip visiting family in Luxemburg. We slept over monday till friday and I was just not able to record an episode.

Of those two weeks the first one was quite warm in the Netherlands. We actually had the first heatwave in the Netherlands this year. year. Nothing too terrible temperature wise, but the related drought is no fun. Again not as bad as other parts of the world, but it is noticable everywhere you go. Also, upstairs, where I record my podcast episodes is not a fun place to be with these temperatures.

As mentioned, the second week was family time, which was a really fun time. I got to spend the entire week with my family with dedicated attention without having work in he back of my mind too much.

Not thinking about work is hard right now. Only a few days from now I am travelling to Denver to visit 360iDev. I still want to do a lot of checks on my slides and presentation. I am going to be representing Stream there, so... No pressure, right?

Considering my travel plans for the next week, I am unsure how/when I will be able to do episode 89. I actually might do something with my DJI Mic while I am in the US. It sounds like a great opportunity to do some fun recordings that are immediatly usable for my podcast. Who knows. Keep an eye on my feed and you will not miss a thing.

This is a quick edit of the proceedings. There can very well be audio mishaps in this.
We had a MEGA-PRE-WWDC Twitter space on June 1 talking expectations/predictions!
These were the hosts: @mikaela__caron, @dvrzan, @joshdholtz, @jordibruin, @rudrankriyam, @amos_gyamfi, @stefanjblos and me.
We had tons of fun though.
