Blackberry Time Calculator
07/29/10 at 21:04:11

I am sure some of you have seen the ATC iPhone/iTouch rally calculator that has been released (I know a Driod knock off was done as well). I have tossed a blackberry version together for anyone interested. It is really simple to use not many feature other than adding time together (minutes or hours and minutes).

I am planning on field testing it next weekend at Galway... if anyone else is interested in it let me know and I will share.

Derek.

Hear about the school board in the US that decided to scrap "D" grades? Their rational is... achieving 60% in life isn't suitable, If you are holding under 60%, you fail. Of course, in Ontario, they don't assign letter grades anymore... since you wouldn't want a child to suffer the emotional reprecussions of getting a D... or a C.

30 + 60 = 1.5
6 = 1/10

We have guys at work who need to be trained on how to use a tape measure... ie... 1/16 + 1/16 = 1/8.

I might be interested in playing around with this. I sort of agree with what people are saying...its not overly complicated to do the math in your head, but if you have something that just confirms it for you, like a rolling second opinion, why not. i have a blackberry anyways so...

if you are willing to share, i would love to give it a try.

Interesting responses... While in general I agree with most about the kids these days... I basically figured this would be a reason to learn how to write a BB app.. Simple purpose with a UI and the such...

For those interested in it I will make it available... just waiting on the RIM signing key to allow it to be run on hardware... So far it has just been tested on the simulators.
