PlayBook and Meetup Search so far

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I have 1 review from my Meetup Search application for the PlayBook and it points out that Canadian zip codes don’t work 🙁 , so I need to get the search features updated.  I have made some updates, but haven’t uploaded the changes yet, since I wanted to test the changes directly on the PlayBook, which I received last Thursday.  Hopefully I’ll get the search updates soon and improve my ratings on the App World. I spent the weekend traveling and the PlayBook came in handy while waiting in airports and flying in the plane.  I was able to connect Continue reading PlayBook and Meetup Search so far→

A message from PlayBook

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Last night I received my free BlackBerry PlayBook.  I immediately downloaded the updates and began to familiarize myself with it.  The first thing I need to get used to is using my finger pad instead of my nails. Touch response is different than with my phone.  But, I am getting used to it.  After a little trail and error, I have figured out how to load music, photos and files from my desktop.  I have loaded a few free apps to help with the flight layovers I’ll have this weekend.  Later, I think I will give more of a review.

Well, today is the deadline for the Free BlackBerry Playbook offer.  This is the third and final deadline for getting applications submitted, and I hope that I can get mine in.  I’ve registered and sent identification information, so now I am waiting for a response back in order to actually upload my application to the App World. I have until midnight, so hopefully they’ll get the reply back to me and things will get done. I have been trying to create an application since around Christmas.  I’ve had a few setbacks.  For one, I didn’t have a paid version of Continue reading Today is the day!→

svn causing me heartburn

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Arrrghh!! So, the Plugin Directory finally pushed the 1.1.0 version of my Mixed Tape plugin to the repository to download. After I upgraded the plugin through the admin Dashboard, I noticed that the players were not showing in the test page. Well, apparently the svn check in blew up when I tried to add the 1.1.0 version and never put the audio files up to the site. I copied the audio directory from the trunk, which is apparently a no no. So, from now on I will have to remember to copy it from my working directory, which happens to Continue reading svn causing me heartburn→

WordPress plugins and svn annoyances!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Small things in programming have been annoying me the last couple of days. WordPress has started using svn (Subversion) as a method of version control for plugins. What this does, is allow the developer to upload version of the plugin to a database and then the plugin will automatically be updated on the download page. Also, it will alert anyone who has the plugin that there is an update to the plugin. From there, the user of the plugin can easily install/update it through the Admin panel. It’s actually very useful. Well, I just recently updated my WP-People plugin to Continue reading WordPress plugins and svn annoyances!→
