I’ve installed and integrated a plugin on my site that will allow users to login simply on any part of my site, and remain logged in on the rest of the site. Unfortunately in my case there aren’t really any other content management systems installed on my site, although it can’t help to be future proof right?

This seems to be the only thing I’m talking about lately, although it’s really caught my interest.

Anyway, another post about the ‘My Go Card’ app. No, it’s not gone free, sorry. Although I’ve just released another update, bringing it up to version 2.0, with more features already planned.

Here’s a list of changes:

-Fixed display error in ‘History’ tab
-Removed possible repetition bug during login process
-Reworked internet check code to be slightly faster
-Completely rewrote ‘History’ tab
*’History’ tab is now more compact, all details are in one cell.
*’History’ tab is now more future proof and easier to browse.
*’History’ tab now includes much more detailed information.
-Replaced registration button with tab
-Added tab bar during login process for future ‘Profile’ feature
-Added two new tab icons to compensate for the new tab bar
-Registration page now has the consistent transparent theme like the rest of the application
-Set minimum OS requirement back down to 3.0. Unfortunately 2.2.1 is no longer available in my version of xCode, I hope this doesn’t put off too many users.

It doesn’t end here! Suggestions and criticism is welcome, and a new ‘Profile’ tab will be added in the next update. This feature will allow Go Card owners to share their account information with just one application, allowing users to store multiple Card Numbers for friends and family.

I’ve been spending most of the week so far working on several new versions of the ‘My Go Card’ app for the iPhone. I’ve been learning a lot, and I’ve written a whole lot of new stuff, it’s really educational and entertaining to me. I’ll post some pictures once I’m done with a few more features!

Alternatively, a very simple information page for the ‘My Go Card’ and ‘My GoVia’ apps can be found respectively at the following links:

I have, after some time and money, got my iPhone Developer Program enrollment accepted, and have submitted my first app to the Australian Appstore.

The app allows you to check your current card balance along with the last access date which can be a handy tool when you’re constantly on the move. It’s $1.19, which hopefully doesn’t put people off, and it’s a fairly good alternative to having to use a computer to check your balance.

Hmm..

Yay!

I’ve recently watched a short film titled Rare Exports. It goes along the story of how Father Christmas is hunted and then trained and exported over 150 countries all over the world. It is quite an amazing little film actually.

Part 1

Part 2

Due to its success, a full feature film will be released in 2010, here’s an exciting looking trailer for it!

It’s quite a strange moment when you realize the CPU emulates better in DirectX11 Software mode than in DirectX10 hardware mode with the graphics card. It seems unlikely to happen, but maybe it’s only occurring in PS2 games. You’d have to use the program to understand what I’m talking about but ah well, what else is there to post? The game in question was Gran Turismo 4, since I can’t exactly play PS2 games on my PS3. I might soon though, with a bit of luck.

Other than the rebranded GT210 that was released as a GT310, finally some actual details have showed up.

Hmm 3 billion transistors.
