Although it hasn’t helped me find a job, I’ve continued to build stuff with PHP. I’ve also been brushing up on my Objective-C. After upgrading to use Version 2 of the GData (YouTube) API I had to upgrade to Version 1.1 of the Twitter API. This took a lot more work especially trying to meet the display requirements.
