How to: Get Passbook working in iOS 6 Beta

-


Apple has made a lot of new features readily available in the beta version of iOS 6 that has been pushed out to developers. While all the new features are great, there are a couple that aren’t fully operational yet. The big app-elephant in the room is Passbook. It’s Apple’s own virtual wallet that helps you organize all of your store cards, ranging from Starbucks cards to train tickets. When the beta was pushed out this app didn’t work, but now there is a way that you can get it to.
Thanks to RedmondPie,  there is now a way to get Passbook working on your iOS device that’s running the beta version of iOS 6. Some people have had trouble using this method on beta 2, but I didn’t have any problems. If you’d like to try it out, instructions(courtesy of RedmondPie) are as follows :
Step 1: Hit PassSource.com using your iOS 6-loaded device.
Step 2: There’s a choice of pre-designed templates, with blank fields for your own information. Choose the one you want.
Step 3: Input all the relevant information and then scroll to the bottom of the creation page. Then hit “Create”. You’ll then be sent to a screen with a usable .pkpass file. (That’s the Passbook compatible file format.)
Step 4: And you’re done. Once you’ve created it, it should work within the Passbook app.”
As I said before, I am running iOS 6 beta 2 and didn’t have any problems adding a Starbucks card, but others have had issues. First impressions of that app, I really like it. I like the design, the layout, the animations. The different colors look great on it. I can’t wait to get a chance to try it out and see how it works.
Any developers out there that are going to try this out? If so, let us know how it works for you.

    Awesome blog post. you will see your entire Passbook cards from the iphone app using Passbook On iOS 6. Yet when you delete it, there is absolutely no solution to observe cards you could have utilised and at what time. There is absolutely no log information into Passbook that you can discover passes you have used.

Bimbo’s Initiation: An Old Cartoon About Masonic Initiation

-

This short video from the 1930′s features beloved cartoon characters and is described on YouTube as “creepy” and “disturbing”. The cartoon is indeed very dark and bizarre but only minimal knowledge of Masonic symbolism is required to realize that the cartoon is all about secret societies and the ordeals an initiate must go through to be accepted. To the symbol-literate, it’s as blatant as it gets. Here’s the video. At the beginning of the cartoon, Bimbo (a good name for a non-initiate?) walks down the street without a care in the world. Suddenly, a certain cartoon character traps Bimbo down a manhole. Bimbo gets trapped...Mickey Mouse? Funny how this character is the recruiter that lead to Bimbo's forceful initiation. Is it a thinly veiled comment on Disney's Masonic ties? Bimbo then finds himself in the underground lair of a strange secret society composed of  masked men with candles on their heads (symbolizing illumination?). One a...

Where can you transfer your credits earned at the University of the People?            I am a current student at the University of the People. There are many good and bad reviews referring to this institution, mine has been a great experience so far.      "Transferring Credits from UoPeople to Other Institutions:  The transferability of credits and credentials is at the complete discretion of the institution to which you seek to transfer, and may include a transfer fee" ( University of the People. 2018).      SO, far I have confirmed NYU to be able to transfer my credits to, as well as my local community colleges.
