ISP Change
by Drew Dahl on Apr.24, 2010, under Random, Rants, Site News
Well, come this Thursday, we will be going offline due to an ISP Change. Recently Midcontinent Communications start serving our area, and I must say I’ve been waiting for this for the last three years
(Fargo’s out of luck though. Poor guys.) Anyway, I’m switching from Cable One who’s been throttling the connection
Comparison:
Cable One vs. Midcontinent
Contracts?
Yes vs No
Throttling?
Yes vs No
Price?
$56.99 vs $56.99
Down Speed?
5Mb vs 25Mb
Up Speed?
0.5Mb vs 2Mb
Personally, I hope they give Cable One a run for their money. Their television and phone is way better for the price, but we won’t get into that here ^_-
Anyway, what does this mean for us? Well, they’re running new cables starting at 5pm CST, and as long as everything goes well, we’re looking at a 2-3hr downtime, so we should be back up and on-line by 8pm CST with a much faster speed
. Should really notice it on your ends! Enjoy!
Todoist For Android – Update
by Drew Dahl on Apr.05, 2010, under Projects, Todoist for Android
Well, I’m about 50% complete with the API Handler and I just created the login page. Granted, it doesn’t truly do anything just yet, but it still looks snazzy :3
Anyway, the login page is displayed to the right. Also, I’ve setup a trac installation. I encourage anyone who is interested to create an account and follow along. As soon as I have a working release, I’m going to put it up on there for beta testing purposes.
My plan as of right now, is to release Version 0.1 sometime in late April/early May. Version 0.1 will be a “read-only” version, and most likely not be very pretty. You’ll be able to log-in, view your projects, and view your tasks associated with those projects. Thus far, that’s my goal.
I think once summer starts, I should have no trouble rolling a lot of this code out, so I’m hoping for late May/early June as a possible release date for a “mostly” working app. Although, it’s probably too early to start throwing dates out. We’ll see ^_^
Anyway, the trac website is at: http://todoist.drewdahl.com/trac/
And finally, what you’ve all been waiting for… the latest image of Todoist For Android:
Todoist Android App Update
by Drew Dahl on Apr.04, 2010, under Projects, Todoist for Android
Well, I’ve finally found some time to sit down and get working on this app again. I’m currently working on a class that will take care of the interfacing between the Todoist API and the actual application.
Below are some screen shots of the application (left) and my actual Todoist Project List (right). Enjoy!
Note: Keep in mind, the data isn’t formatted at this time. I’m just trying to get all of the functionality there, and then worry about getting it pretty. ^_^
