(I understand that this is one of the first, if not the very first app in the... Continue Reading →
“Live Tile News” had a very favourable review on the BBC’s technology program “Click” last week and I have had a lot of questions around the impact on downloads. The first chart shows downloads for April – with the healthy spike being a result of the coverage received. The second chart is specific to “Live... Continue Reading →
A quick interim post to show progress on porting this app to Windows 8. Still much to do but have made good progress in a couple of days.
