Today was the time for my yearly developer certificate renewal. After invalidating my old certificate and making a new one, removing all old profiles, I got the error above. It took me a little while to figure it out, but while I had generated my Ad Hoc distribution profile, I hadn’t actually installed it, so I had my certificate set up for distribution but no mobile provision profile. Just my little d’oh moment, I hope it helps you figure out yours

When the iPad was announced, we got to hear we had to wait until the international launch date. So before it was even morning on the date of the international launch I ordered mine online, black 64Gb with 3G. I expected Apple to prioritize their own sales channel, but it turned out I had to wait 33 days from I ordered it until Apple expected me to have it!

To reduce the wait, I went by many stores, and finally I came by a Virgin Megastore in Nice, and the salesman there said unfortunately, they only had one model, and it was exactly the one I wanted, so I quickly bought it, set it to update and sync and went about my day.

Later that evening I got to play with it, but the home button really needed to be pushed very hard to work, and that really affected the pleasure of using it. After much thought, I decided to return it. The day after, I went back, and of course the man talking to me was strong and had a habit of pushing buttons hard, so while I reproduced the problem all the time, he managed only once. But he saw the problem, and would love to exchange it for me, but by then they were sold out. So I got a refund.

Luckily, the day before I had tried to cancel my original order, but they were about to ship it that day, so they couldn’t cancel it but asked me to send it back when I got it. So now I’ll have to wait patiently for it, and then hopefully it will have no issues, just like my last iPad had no issues.

I’m a big fan of Willemoes which is Coop’s brand by Bryggeriet Vestfyen, so when they had an offer too choose three for a reasonable price, I got two of Willemoes Påske Ale and a Påskebryg that will be reviewed another day.

Willemoes is funny as it’s called after Peter Willemoes, a Danish naval hero who captured Nelson and his ship in the war with England in 1801.

As with so many of Willemoes beers, this was an instant hit. It is nice and dark, but transparent. Its nicely filled with spice, it’s sweet yet still fresh, and has a moderate amount of gas, yet very little foam. As with Ørbæk’s Påskeale, it could just as well be a christmas ale, and works fine by itself. It goes well with food as well, especially heavy food. Only negative is that it has a hint of metal taste. All in all I think it’s a good alternative to for instance a Leffe Brune

Påskebryg by Ørbæk bryggeri was an instant hit. It has quite a strong taste, with a surprisingly lack of after-taste. It has a very nice foam, has lots of spice and hop, and is moderately sweet.

In color its dark, and you can’t see trough the glass, it’s too misty / unfiltered for that. It has an average amount of gas, and will go well with most kinds of food. This beer is an excellent replacement for a good glass of wine, and can be had by itself. Only weird thing is that if you served this to me as a christmas beer, in my ignorance I wouldn’t know better than to call it an excellent christmas beer as well.

All in all, a great beer that I’ll definitely have another of. And many bonus points for the nice hare on the label

March 27th I had this problem that whenever I submitted an app to the app store with the App Loader or Xcode, that would pass verification mind you, I got an error: “com.apple.transporter.util.StreamUtil.readBytes(Ljava/io/InputStream;)[B” I wrote Apple to tell them about it, but I got an error due to a disk being full, so I figured nobody’s perfect, it’s probably a disk-full error, and tried the next day. The 28th, no luck either. Wrote them a mail. Didn’t hear from them by the 31st, so wrote another mail. But by now, results had began to come up on my radar via Google, so I thought I’d share what I found.

With Xcode 4 it seems many people are having this problem. The advice I found first was to downgrade to Xcode 3.x or Application Loader 1.3, but by this time Xcode 4.0.1 was out, and for some reason I’d missed installing it on my dev box.

After installing XCode 4.0.1, this problem was solved and an updated version of Well Tempered is now awaiting approval.
