Just a quick note (and Google bait) to help others looking for a solution to the ‘Expected specifier-qualifier-list’ error message.

For me this happened as I was adding CoreData to an existing iPhone project, the quick answer is that even after adding the Framework correctly you have to update your *_Prefix.pch file to include the Library.

Ever since I moved in, my apartment door always slammed shut. Recently I had a neighbor ask me ‘Why I slammed my door?’ I shrugged and explained that it was the door closer, not me.

Well guess what, you can adjust the closer. Shocking, I know.

Most closers have two screws, one adjusting the ’sweep’ the other the ‘latch’ pressure. The sweep is the stage where the door is wide open and the latch is the last few inches, before hitting the latch.

I had to adjust my latch screw, which was the bottom one in the picture. Some closers are labeled, mine wasn’t, so I guessed.

Turning the screw in slowed the door’s speed, turning the screw out increased the speed.

Now no more slamming doors and upset neighbors.
