For the last two weeks, all my ampers sites have been down, along with the Australian Daily Prayer app. This was caused at my hosters end, where they had two major server failures and then they had to manually restore everyone’s account. I don’t pay for hosting, so on one level, I am grateful…

About two or three weeks ago my website SSL certificate expired, which caused a “Not secure” warning to be displayed on all my sites and it also broke the Australian Daily Prayer app. It tuned out that my free hosters had an issue with their LetsEncrypt process, so I tried a few things to…

This is a bit of a novelty app. The gimmick is that you can read quickly without having the ordeal of moving your eyes. In essence, a single word flys at you and your brain kinda absorbers the text. This app had been broken for some time (maybe 3 years?) as the source where…

For a little while, the Australian Daily Prayer app wouldn’t update the service content if you changed the date. The card at the top would display the right day and saint/festival, but the morning and evening tabs would still be displaying the current date. This bug turned out to be a relativity simple fix…

This is a long time coming, but I have finally updated the Inductive Bible Study app. A while back the bible API broke which means the app pretty much was useless. I looked into a few options to pull the Bible, but no free service really offered a major Bible translation, except for the…

Not far off the Two Ways To Live Dark Theme update, I have tweaked the mobile multiply app to now also work correctly with this mode in Android. On the whole, this was rather straightforward. (I had to learn a new trick with the popup window getting around a bug in android with attributes in…

Last year when I posted the new update to Two Ways To Live the framework or skeleton that I used as a base had a section that made it work with the dark theme feature that comes with Andriod 10. I didn’t notice and hadn’t played with that before, and so when I pushed…

I started this update in November when I got a new wind of energy with the Two Ways To Live 2.0.0 update. This project took me much longer as I had to pretty much covert the whole Multiply book to be native in the strings.xml file. I then had to do it all over…

Since I had done most of the leg work with the Two Ways To Live app, it didn’t take much work to port it to this app. I did, however, forget to put a heading on the intro screen, but only noticed after I had uploaded it to the Google Play store. This meant…

Last Thursday (my usual day off) I had two kids home sick which was a good thing as it meant they played with each other. It was also raining so I couldn’t do any outdoor jobs. So with my day off I set about updating the look and feel of my Two Ways To…
