Commentary

I am, obviously, a bad person:

@Kameron I do not mean to sound bad tempered -- though I obviously am -- but if you find yourself throwing in random method calls out of desperation that's a pretty good sign you should stop coding and think instead. Draw the chain of events out on paper if you have to. Programming is not voodoo. This stuff is deterministic. Things start out as X and only become Y as a consequence of some actual instruction. Don't guess at unfathomable rituals, work out what is going on. Here endeth another pointless rant.

But honestly, the iPhone coding world is beset by clueless fucking nitwits. (Tagging a question as xcode is almost a cast-iron guarantee of idiocy, BTW. Hello? Yes, I mean you. Is your problem actually anything to do with XCode? Is it? Wait, is it? Really? No, that's right, it isn't. It's a coding problem, isn't it? Do you even know the fucking difference? Oh piss off back to Moronville.)

Needless to say, my comment would also have been seasoned with a shitload of swearing if Stack Overflow weren't so fucking vanilla.

Time to cook. Chicken cous cous and stuff. No question but that I'll feel a whole lot better after that.
