Jim’s Date Calculator – (Updated) – v1.3 released

Just published version 1.3 of Jim’s Date Calculator.

Updates include:
– added month result / check box
– check boxes work independently now
– entering a date in the text areas now work
without a zero popping up
(this used to require a 2nd entry try to work)
– settings menu added
– user can keep settings upon exit
(can also be set to forget in settings menu)
– user can change theme from black/white to white/black
(see this in the settings menu)
– minor layout updates
– general optimization and bug fixes

Also the information video was updated too..

Wow, One year . . .


In 1 year of self taught Android Application Development:
– two paid apps
– five free apps (now removed)
– almost 1200 paid app downloads
– 58000+ free app downloads
The result, positive cash flow from Google for apps and advertising….
… not bad for a hobby …
I have more ideas, just need more development time.

Courage….

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” -Ambrose Redmoon

It was 100% Courage for those in NY and Washington DC 10 years ago today….

Never forget….

Where did the soundboards go?

All of the JimsJump soundboards have been removed from this site and Android Market.

One in particular (the most popular) was decommissioned by external request.  As a mode of self preservation, the remaining soundboards were also removed voluntarily.

As always, thank you for the support, comments, and positive feedback.
