    800x480 (2x of iphone)
    5MP vs 3MP
    Twin mics for active noise cancellation
    Default mail: Google mail (expected)
    slower emails transfer vs iphone but with 3G, not noticeable.
    less apps. vs iphone tons of apps.

    If I continue I think you will just rush out and find where is the outlet that sells N1.
    N1 also has 512MB RAM, OLED display and Google Navigation.

    Haha no worries, I am locked into a contract until Oct this year so I can't really get a new phone now anyways.

    By then, a better phone will probably show up!

    Re: New stocking calculator with a difference!

    yh,
    saw your latest update. Found others:
    http://www.thefind.com/pets/browse-lustar-filter

    Seems like some are called "Hydro...." without the word Lustar. You might want to give it a shot. Some not found in SG side also.

This feature was a huge pain in the <insert your favorite part here> to implement - there might still be some bugs related to this and overall bioload calculation on these sub-adult sizes, hence may require further fine tuning. Please let me know if it looks right. A bonus - once you enter your species in juvenile sizes, you can flip back and forth between juvenile mode and adult mode. When you flip, the application will automatically re-calculate stocking %, filtration capacity %, and water change % so that you know what you are dealing with once they are grown up. I did not change the warnings so those will continue to assume all species are grown up. Try it out!

    - Total number of tanks in DB has been increased to 66.

    Re: New stocking calculator with a difference!

    ^o^/ You still working instead of enjoying..lol.

    1 small suggestion. Version number can use.
    xxxx.yyy

    xxxx = year
    yyy = numbers of days. Feb 2 would be 033 March 1 would be 060.
    If you use programming style (aka javascript) then the version number will change everyday XD..ha.

    Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment, build process is completely manual and it is manageable since I only do max 2 releases per week. If I go more extreme, I may need to change the way I do it currently. For now, I am intentionally sticking to build number scheme that is more human friendly than computer friendly.

    Re: New stocking calculator with a difference!

    ^^ understood, but not good as a career. Hectic life.

    So you going back to software coding anytime sooner? The database is getting more and more matured. Meaning you will be free up later. Ever thought coding for as an handphone application? Ideally if you can run off both handphone and OS, that will be good. But I think with the amount of handphone springing up, the web version can support the OS, whilst you have a choice between iphone and android. Also a chance to enter a new programming domain there.

    Basically I try to address species and filter requests first. And whenever I have more free time, I try to work on the codes. I thought species request was slowing down then it picked up again. I guess I'll have my chances eventually.

    Yes I do want to work on the phone apps. I just ordered Nexus One so I should get it by the end of this week. Can't wait.

    Yes, not less you break that chain. Now young that time you can. Old then you really feel the stress. E.g. You need a bigger monitor. Hands get numbing effect, backache, etc.

    Request do come in eventually one, you need to prioritise your work, just like a system analyst. You schedule and divide into modular form. Each module with it's own time frame. Ha...you itchy for N1 liao. Here is one site for you. Maybe you can figi with the sdk first. Mine is Samsung pixon, nah...not jumping into touchwiz which is a dying os.

    LOL I think I have to deal with enough priorities at work. Do I need to do it for this App too? Haha, I am doing it already for this app since I am receiving more requests than I can handle at the moment. This is the only way to manage my time as you mentioned.

    I've already developed a simple app for Android before so I am some idea. iPhone is going to be more challenging since I need a Mac to develop it! Ouch.

    Android is v2.1 heh...if you do android programming at work then it should be fish job for you. ha.

    You can bookmark this too. I am sorta flicker minded too. Ouch Ouch...yah...comes down to $$ too. The S11 factor along with what you want to set up for your fish tank. No rush, meantime we can still look at what is available on the market and keep ourself "open source". Open to source for anything..ha! Meantime...continue to buy toto.

    Actually I don't program Android at work - I just tried out some sample codes to see how it works. It doesn't look too bad though. As for iPhone, do their IDE still works only on Mac platform? I haven't checked out their env for a while.

    Re: New stocking calculator with a difference!

    I see. Lucky you. Android comes with emulator so not too bad.

    I don't have an apple id to login. Since I don't have all the ixxxx I am not that much fire up to jump directly into the ixxxx domain.

    1. Yes you do need mac platform.
    2. It comes with the standard package of USD$99 or USD$299 for enterprise program. Aha! S11.
    3. You need to be iphone die heart to sustain that kinda enthusiasm.

    So suddenly the android becomes an obvious choice. Now if the next generation of android would at least comes with a better camera to match the specs given plus all the current features of other handphones. I am much at the observation stage rather than jump into and ride with the wave. I bet there are other programmers like myself hidding in the shadow at the moment. It make sense, new programmers comes into the scene and suddenly all those old programmers disappear. You get the picture.

    For a start on programming, can start with simple convertors:
    - wpg calculation
    - F to C convertor, vice versa
    - US Gallon conversion
    - Well, if you factor $$ factor you could get power consumption rate and how much it cost you.

    The complex ones would be:
    - Bubble rate
    - Amount of Fertizillers to add
    - LFS database (requires regular updates from a network of forumers)
    - Product database and introduction.
    Sub categorise to medicine, dosing, fish tank, fish lighting, filters, etc.
    - Like Aquaadvisor.
    - Plant database
    - Fish database
    - AI Based Beginner tank trackor (this would be more complex that it will require the owner to update certain parameters inorder to derive at the "perfect condition" tank. Can fail if your calculations veered off just even in 1 version.

    There are a lot of possibilities as we all know.

    Re: New stocking calculator with a difference!

    Not exactly veered off topic, saw your previous software for Stocking calculation. An improvement in future is much anticipated. BTW, new windows mobile OS coming up. Stay tuned to it too...hee hee. I think there are those idle programmers (E.g. Vinz) also watching the useful information too. With AQ forumers around, there is always no lack of ideas (E.g. Stormhawk, Shadow, etc [too many people can't name all]) Later I go LFS do Island wide hunting tour again...heh heh.
