Sushi 101
Yesterday I made sushi, it wasn’t as hard as I thought, here’s a small walkthrough (this doesn’t mean that I’m turning my tumblr into a cooking place).
Step one:
Put the green thing on the thing you bought to roll the sushi.
Step two:
Put a layer of rice on the green thing, make sure it’s not a thick layer.
Step three (Optional):
Flip it. (If you don’t, the green thing will be on the outside, if you do, on the inside).
Step four:
Place the ingredients. I used shrimp, surimi and cucumber (did you know there are no known dignifying ways of washing a cucumber?).
Step five:
Roll the sushi, little by little, not all at once.
Step six (Optional):
Sprinkle these little seed thingies (I don’t know the english word for it).
Step seven (Optional):
Slice it and eat it.
I made a Portal level.

Moving on.
You probably know that iOS 5, released a few days ago, introduced Notification Center.
Some people, since it was announced, asked me if I was going to continue working on Notified, or improving Notification Center.
The answer has always been no, I made Notified because it was a feature missing from the OS, now it’s not.
I’ve moved on, I’m working on a few other projects, I just hope you enjoyed Notified as much as I did.
You can still use Notified if you want to, here’s a list of available packages of Notified on Cydia:
- Notified - The original free Notified, doesn’t have the slide down list, works on iOS 3.0 - 4.X
- Notified Legacy - The last release of Notified Pro (1.5.3), it’s free and works on iOS 3.X
- Notified Pro - The latest version that was available on the beta repo. If you bought Notified, you will be prompted to update. It works on iOS 4.X
A rarely seen shot of a very young Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Really dig the 80’s style Steve is sporting here. Like he just came from Molly Ringwald’s place.
As for Bill, well, he looks exactly the same then as he does today. I’m not even sure he has changed out of that outfit.
Lastly, take a look at those faces. That’s some serious geek pride going on there. They own the world and they know it. Good for them.

Notified and iOS5
You probably know that on monday Apple announced a new notification system at WWDC.
As some of you pointed out, it looks a lot like Notified: pull-down drawer, notification bar, etc., some of you even said that Apple had ripped me off.
I don’t feel that way.
For starters, the drawer idea wasn’t that new, Android had it before Notified, and while I never used it personally, the concept was a big inspiration.
(It did come as a surprise that they used the swipe down gesture, with the rumor of they hiring Peter Hajas, I thought they were going with the notification list above the multitasking drawer)
As for Notification Bar, I didn’t see anything like that before Notified, but it’s not a terrible innovating idea; instead of showing the notification at the middle of the screen, try to move it to somewhere less important.
So yeah, I would have loved if Apple had sent me an email saying “Hey, we love your notification system, come work with us”, but you can’t always get what you want.
Anyway, many of you were left wondering what was gonna happen with Notified.
I don’t want it to end as a beta, so I’ll try to push a release as soon as I can, but I won’t work too hard on new features.
I also find it really cool that Apple made a system so similar to Notified, because it means we were doing it right.
We’ve had a great run, and I hope you all enjoyed Notified like I did, and I want to thank you for all your support.
