New favorite git feature.

While I'm a relatively new user of git, I'm certainly getting used to it and it's way of doing things. While it's not perfect, it is much better than some of the alternatives for SCM.

So, my new favorite feature?

git stash

Say I'm working on a long running, low-priority change for a client, when they call with something more urgent. Stash let's me do just that, stash all my current changes that haven't been commited, and work on the new requirement. Once I'm done and the client has signed off on the high-priority item, I can jump right back into the low-priority task via 'git stash pop'<br/><br/>
Certainly I could do the same thing via a branch, but stash is a lot simpler and quicker.

Stop the UIWebView bounce for Cordova based projects.

For every Cordova (PhoneGap) app that I've created for iOS, I've wanted to prevent the UIWebView from bouncing. There's two potential solutions, one is a setting in the plist, and the second is a change to the objective-c code.

For PhoneGap 1.5.0 and later the best solution is to set "UIWebViewBounce" to "NO" in the PhoneGap.plist/Cordova.plist file (which file you have depends on which version of the SDK you are using.) In the 'Root' of the plist file, look for "UIWebViewBounce", and set it to "NO" or "false" (If it's missing, go ahead and add it to the plist file.)

UIWebViewBounce  NO

For versions previous to 1.5 and native projects that are using the UIWebView, you would need to make a change to the Objective-C in the project.
The solution is to send the setBounces:NO message. You'll need to change the MainViewController.m (or AppDelegate.m file in older versions of Cordova/Callback/PhoneGap).

Look for webViewDidFinishLoad, and within that method add the following line:

[[theWebView.subviews objectAtIndex:0] setBounces:NO];

Note, that I've seen suggestions that the following Javascript would work:

document.onload = function(){
    document.ontouchmove = function(e){ e.preventDefault(); }
};

This doesn't work because the bounce occurs before the document.ontouchmove event is fired.
