Trapping for iOS errors?

[Mike Kerner]

by the way, John, once you put debugging code in your scripts, the easiest
way to watch is to either go into the simulator and in the debug menu open
the system log, or have your device connected to your computer, then go
into xcode, and from the window menu pick "Organizer", then for the device
you have connected, look at the console.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
