We’ve decided to release the Android application “Current Commodities” for Chrome as an extension. This handy little button brings powerful commodities data to your fingertips. You can check out the extension at: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hmjbibcbljbkocjhkdhpgpnpfampcijn
A few weeks ago we released a completely new version of 4Ever Fall. This version is a complete re-write to ensure the game works on all Android platforms. When the game was originally written, it was available to the only phone that ran Android — the G1. A few months after the game’s initial release, Android expanded and all of a sudden there was several phones running the Android platform. We decided to completely re-write the game to fix several core issues with the game and at the same time make it much more efficient.
We incorporated some code in 4Ever Fall 3.0 that would allow the user to submit a crash report in the case that one occurred. Not long after releasing the update we began getting tons of crash reports. We’ve fixed the majority of them but there are still a couple that need fixing. We thank all of you who took the time to submit the report to us. We don’t have a copy of every phone out there so we can’t test it on all devices.
We do ask you to please contact us with any problems you have and allow us to resolve the issue before leaving negative feedback. We will continue to better the game and will eventually add more graphics and feature requests. Please feel free to contact us at any time via e-mail.
My goodness! So much has happened within the last month, I don’t even know where to begin! I guess first I’ll start off by noting that we’ve figured out the dilemma with our Current Commodities application, not knowing which month to read for each commodity. We’ve re-written some code to automatically figure that out for us — We LOVE automation 
!
We’re receiving excellent feedback for both Current Commodities as well as 4Ever Fall. We thank all those who have contacted us with their comments and/or suggestions. Your thoughts are very valuable and we thank you for sharing!
To some of you, it may have seemed that we haven’t been productive with our applications — that’s true. ?For the past few months, we’ve suffered from having to deal with extremely old hardware. ?I’m happy to announce now that this is the case NO MORE! We’ve finally saved up enough money from profits off of the applications to purchase a new server which is now serving pages at a small fraction of time compared to the previous server! ?We’ve also purchased a new production desktop with a whopping 8 Gigs of RAM, Quad Core + Windows 7 (oh yeah, Vista^100).
We’re finishing up final touches of setup and installation and are looking forward to jumping into development again with full swing soon!
Alright… To anyone who knows anything about Commodities, your help is needed!
Our server collects data from Yahoo! Finances every minute. It collects information on the Futures market. We are having some problems understanding how the futures markets are put together (which month to collect from and when to collect from that month, etc). Also, when looking at past data, do you see the previous readings for that month or do you look at previous months’ readings? It gets complex but we’re eager to learn so that we can provide you with a better and more accurate application!
If you can help, please contact us to let us know!
