Final week of first year...

By -
The final week of my first year of uni is coming to an end. I can't believe how quickly it has flew by... but I still have exams to do... and today I found out that it starts on the 12th May 2005... 7 weeks and 1 day away. Oh well, at least that is more time to revise then we had for our Chirstmas exams.

I finally got the vacuum cleaner sorted out... and partly it was my fault, since I never emptied the bag... so the vacuum cleaner motor was put under stress... but who cares, got a new one, and it is even more S*** than the old one... oh well...

Also, I have been working on version 2 of this site, and I will be launching it soon... so keep a wide eye out for it

Going to a friend's birthday party tonight... so it should be fun... lol...

However I want to talk about something else they have included and something that seems to be disappearing. This is the new Hamburger slide out menu and the "Up" button navigation.

But when you use the YouTube app you will notice that there isn't much references to the "Up" button at all within the application and even the "Up" button is missing when watching the videos. Is Google slowly moving away from it?



The "Up" button I have always thought was misleading as the arrow is poi…

Today I have released a new version of my Android Application Currency Converter. You will be able to find it by going to the below link and downloading it off Google Play.

This update fixed an issue with the converter failing to work due to iGoogle support. Google dropped support which basically broke my app :)

Also added the ability for backing up if you are using any third parties tools like Titanium Backup or Helium.

The latest code base has also been pushed to GitHub so you can have a look if you want to know how it is built or just interested to learn Android programming.
