DinnerDate v3.0 Out Now

Fri, 9 Sep 2011 16:57:43 +0100

DinnerDate V3.0 is out now. Hope you like the new sharing features. I’ve priced it cheaply (69p/$1), so please be generous with your review.

If you have any problems, get in contact and I’ll fix the issues as soon as possible.

DinnerDate v3.0 Out Soon - Update

Mon, 5 Sep 2011 11:33:15 +0100

It’s taken much longer than I had hoped, but getting the wireless sharing functionality to work reliably with multiple connections proved very difficult. Instead, I’ve implemented a one-to-one sharing feature for this release and the App should be out in the next few weeks.

Extra features for this version includes the ability to synchronise your booked meals with your calendar.

Hope you will enjoy the new release.

Don’t forget, DinnerDate 3.0 will no longer be free (it will cost around $2), so tell your friends to download it now before this version hits the App Store.

DinnerDate v3.0 Out Soon - Testers Required.

Sat, 7 May 2011 17:39:14 +0100

Hopefully DinnerDate 3.0 will be out in the next month or so.

Changes include:

• The ability to share Restaurants and their Courses and Menus with other DinnerDate users in your near vicinity. (via a short range bluetooth or WiFi connection). Sharing will be accomplished by either you pushing your establishments to other users, or by pulling establishments from other users onto your device. You will also be able to control which users see your establishments.
• Adding your meal booking to your calendar.
• Redesign to use tabs.
• Redesign of the review meal entries.
• Online help.
• Ability to add Friends home as possible venues.
• Better left/right scrolling between items.
• Improved search results with map.

These are big changes so I’m looking out for some testers of the software. If you are interested, get in touch.

Also, as a reminder, DinnerDate 3.0 will no longer be free (it will cost $2), so tell your friends to download it now before this version hits the App Store.

Distillation Designer now number 1 in the Education section of the Mac App Store!

Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:46:21 +0000

I did not expect there would be many sales of Distillation Designer. After all, how many Chemical Engineering students in their second year (studying Distillation) use Macs and need a McCabe- Thiele diagram?

But today, I am very surprised and happy to see Distillation Designer hitting number 1 in the top paid section of the Mac App Store Education category.......

In Guatemala!

Thanks to everyone in Guatemala who has made this their number 1 Education app... at least for today.

If you are that person in Guatemala who has just bought Distillation Designer, get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.

Distillation Designer now on the Mac App Store

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:15:49 +0000

After a long two weeks in review, Distillation Designer is now on Apple’s new Mac App Store.

This is a (modest) upgrade supporting:

• The ability to generate VLE data from constant relative volatility.
• The ability to enter weight/weight distillate compositions.
• Ethanol/Water composition entered as a getting ‘started’ composition.

Thus Application is no longer free, but to ensure more updates, it is priced sufficiently low ($2 or £1.19p) at least in the hope it will recover the costs for being a registered Mac App developer.

As always, please contact me if you have any issues or concerns.

Looking for Distillation Designer Testers

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 16:59:54 +0000

A new (modest) upgrade of Distillation Designer is in the works with the intention of adding it to Apple’s new Mac App Store.

Updates to Distillation Designer include:

• Adding the auto generation of Constant Relative Volatility data.
• Ability to add % weight/weight or %mol fractions for distillate, feed and bottoms.
• Ability to export the data sets to share with others.
• Ability to add more relevant data up front.

I am on the lookout for a couple of testers. If you are interested, please contact me.
