What follows are the download statistics for the first full week that “Cwirla” was available. I have no idea what they mean. I’m just surprised that France and China were 2nd and 3rd in downloads.

The Cwirla iPhone App

by byamabe on February 22, 2010

I received approval last Friday evening for my first two iPhone Applications (they work on the iPod Touch and should work on the iPad when it is released). The inspiration for the Apps came from Pastor Todd Wilken when, after discussing the video I made “There’s a Pastor for That“, wished for a “Cwirla App” for his iPod Touch. Well, I couldn’t resist the inspiration and put together the Cwirla app which is available in two versions. The free version cwirla-icon.png is a collection of wisdom from Pastor Cwirla excerpted from episodes of The God Whisperers. The $0.99 “blue” version cwirla-blue-icon.png includes the same excerpts, plus it includes the story about Pastor Cwirla’s confirmation class which includes some “home schooler alert” language. It also includes some risque quotes if you “shake” Pastor Cwirla. All proceeds will go to the God Whisperers coffers.

The Clock is Ticking

February 18, 2010

My urge to try a new kind of development got to me again and I’ve jumped on the iPhone development bandwagon. The nice thing about iPhone development is that the definition of a proper application is a lot more basic than a web or desktop application. I started my dive into iPhone development last week [...]

Python vs. Ruby

February 17, 2010

I found this really enlightening post and presentation on Python vs. Ruby from a Python guy, Gary Bernhardt. Gary first talks about some features of Ruby that violate the “Zen of Python.” He only presents 5 violations, but you can see for yourself that Ruby does violates most of this “Zen.” Then Gary goes on [...]

The Joy of Refactoring in the Green

January 22, 2010

I was BDDing some code for an idea I had for a Church Year website. I was using RSpec to drive the code that would return the church season based on a date. Some seasons are based on a fixed date, like Christmas, and others are relative to another date, Advent starts 3 weeks before [...]

Does Anyone Have the Perfect Editor?

January 6, 2010

MPW, CodeWarrior, Visual Studio, Emacs, XEmacs, vi, NetBeans, Eclipse, TextMate, XMLSpy, NotePad, and any number of editors/IDEs all which I’ve used to write code. It’s crazy, but I’ve gone through more editors than programming languages and I still haven’t settled on one that makes me really happy. I almost standardized on Emacs, but it was [...]

ADD or a Better Way?

January 1, 2010

I’ve done it again and decided to change the technology I’m going to use to build LaG. Some my attribute this to technological ADD which I freely admit to, but this time I believe my reasons are substantive.
Uncertain Future of App Engine Patch
I was pretty excited about being able to use Django on Google App [...]

FBML vs iFrame

December 11, 2009

I’ve been working on the HTML and CSS for LaG using Espresso. I first created the markup in a base html file and then I’ve adding the CSS classes and styles as needed. I’ve now come to the point where I’m going to start implementing the UI in the server. The first decision I need [...]

Just Trying to Test Leads to Cleaner Code

October 27, 2009

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been trying to get some unit testing going so that I can keep focused and gain a higher level of comfort with the code I’m writing. I started by trying move a business method that had crept into the model and put it in its own business [...]

Refatoring for Unit Testing

October 17, 2009

I’ve been working on LaG for a month or so. Progress has been slow, because I haven’t set enough short term goals. I really need to get back to my GTD weekly review to prioritize and get to a list of actions for the project.
Most of the work I have done has been to flesh [...]
