Vertical Text on iOS 5

I tried layout with vertical text on iOS 5. At that time I saw a buggy behavior. It seemed that paragraphs are begun a new line in association with CTFrameRef’s width, not height. CTFrame’s height was ignored. SO I tested to apply the CGRect’s height value to the CGRect’s width. The following figure was the result:


I feel maybe this trouble is a bug. If it is not bug, please would anyone tell me a correct code.

What’s Thinking about Note Applications

I’m regurly using two application on iPad, Noteshelf and UPAD, as a hand-writing note.  Noteshelf’s writing sence is very good and user interface’s design is good too.  but don’t have a function of text-entry mode.  UPAD’s text-entry mode is good useful but the writing sence is a bit bad.

I’m reguraly using two application, SideBooks and UPAD, to read PDF files.  SideBooks quickly draws smooth text; after zooming, to move display range to all directional is available by smooth inertial scroll and the view is clear.  But SideBooks don’t have a function of writing annotations whereas UPAD has the function.  However unfortunately the view UPAD drew is a bit rough.

A primary tool is Noteshelf to write hand-writing note. The secondary is UPAD.
A primary tool is SideBooks to read PDF. The secondary is UPAD.

I think UPAD is a great application; UPAD is able to write hand-writing note and able to read PDF and has text-entry mode.  All that is left is to up those function’s quality.  So I expect UPAD to do those.  That’s what’s thinking about note applications.

Happy New Year in 2011!

Updating for the first time in one year :-p  Ahhh. I intend to write my blog constantly this year.

I went jogging with Runkeeper Pro. The try was second. A distance I jogged today was 1.4 km because I couldn't jog even 2.8 km and did walking before when I tried it.

Today I remained jogging from the beginning to the ending but other Joggers seem to jog double the distance without compunction. My goal is a far.

Incidentally, when I was seventeen years old, I was able to run 1500m in four minuets and fifty seconds. There was also a time I jogged 15km.
