Wuz up guys .... [MENTION=4681386]MiguelHogue[/MENTION] [MENTION=793599]patrao[/MENTION]_n

How you guys been
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Just got another promotion here... Hard work pays off... It just takes the right person to notice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:
So I have been working for my new boss for about 3 weeks now, I still can't comprehend how the exact same job just different store can be so much more of a positive environment.

I am truly blessed to have gotten so lucky I actually enjoy going to work again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
That's awesome bro. So good to hear man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Well I got a new boss about three months ago and I started doing more because I liked my job again.. New boss noticed and I got a promotion. There's nothing like enjoying your job, it's good for the mind, body, and soul.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Unfortunately for me there us no room for growth. I am the only person who does my job. If I leave , they will get someone for less money. The good thing is I take time off when I want. I don't have to submit a formal request. Just " hey boss, I am gonna take a 4 day vacation next week". All is good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Well the position I currently have is basically the highest I can go in this company unless I switch fields. But I'll stick with it awhile and see where it takes me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
The best thing is I don't want to be promoted. I had the great experience of supervising people in the military as well as civilian jobs. I have enough of my own problems let alone dealing with others problems. I don't mind helping but some of the things people say and do to get time off is ridiculous. I will stay on the bottom of the totem pole as long as I can. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
And that's when you say "I want pictures" lol. Yeah I know what you mean, I didn't have to deal with being "on call" till now but it's only on half of my days off and not every day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:
I love managing but at the same point I hate dealing with people's bull crap and bs excuses. I'm nice and beyond fair to people to begin with but if you take advantage of it, I can turn ugly in a hurry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I myself manage three separate teams in three locations across the US with an average team size of 16 employees. It's a great job and I enjoy it but like you said it can turn ugly in a hurry. This morning I was in the restroom taking care of some business when I hear the door open and someone come in. Then I hear one of my employees, "Hey Roy, you in here?" They had a question about some tax laws and system functionality related to it that for whatever reason couldn't wait five minutes... So I get out and come and find him to let him know that I'm not a fan of his methods there and he lets me know that he had a client on hold when he came to find me. Not only that but his cubicle mate pipes up and explains, "Oh and don't worry Roy, we all knew where you were after that. He told the client and everything!" Ugh!!!

I mean I'm not shy, yes, I poop. I do it regularly and often. But for Pete's sake let me do it in privacy and there's no reason the whole office and clients need to know that I'm doing it!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Wow, just wow. "You did what?" would be the first thing out of my mouth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Pretty close to what I said. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
WOW. I am at a loss for words. Even the maintenance team respects each other while on the can. That is definitely not public information.

So... Fun day today!

Come into the office early to take care of a few things before a job candidate came in for her interview. As she was coming in a mountain lion apparently decided to make an appearance in the stairwell, IN THE BUILDING! The poor girl is an emotional wreck in the lobby. They got it out of the building but then it was lounging around in front for a bit so the police and animal control weren't letting anyone in or out of the building. Then it decided to run off and they lost it...

Mountain lions are common out here but for one to come into the city is almost unheard of. For one to make it into one of our office towers? That's never happened! lol

EDIT: We made the news too! http://www.ksl.com/?sid=30485559&ni...ar-jordan-commons&fm=home_page&s_cid=topstory
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Poor girl!!! Tell me she got the job lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:

I have been enjoying a great blessing. Got a 97 accord for 500 bucks. I spend 40 a payday for gas as opposed to spending 65 a week driving my 68 LeMans.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I feel you there. I think I have you one upped though! I moved to a town small enough that you can walk everywhere you go! (except the fishing holes lmao)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I can do better. I will be able to do that in about 10 years. My sister is sitting on some of our property with a 2bdrm trailer. The trailer is paid for and the only bill she has is cable, propane, electric, phone and food. Can't beat that. Any fishing hole you can drive to can't be that good of a spot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Normally I'd agree but there are quite a few good holes here with little or no walking needed ;)

Hey, guys. I'll find a few places to ask for this favor, but a few people are still on this forum who might recognize my name and help me out.

I made an app for work. It's up on the Play Store now, though real users won't be needing it for about eight weeks. It is fully functional, not beta, and I am really hoping to get some feedback from XDA peeps. It won't be useful to you in any way, because it is for specific people only, but if you can give feedback on how it looks and acts in general as an app, that would be awesome. I'm definitely not a professional, so I am just hoping it doesn't look stupid. You don't need to make sense of any content, it could be written in another language even, if you can just tell me how it looks and works as an app...

Please help me out. Take a look and let me know what you think. You can use the "contact" in the app (it goes to me) or PM me on here, whichever is easier.

If I ever helped you on here before, please help me out with this? ;)

Thanks X 10. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.erikalin.stats1

Right. Not a dumb question, lol. Should have said this. It's for students in a specific course. So - feedback is mostly on how it looks and acts overall as an app. I'm far from a professional developer, so I'm hoping it doesn't look too bad. Thanks for asking. :)

Edit:

Thanks. Yeah, I'm just looking for feedback on how it looks and works to click through, not on the content.

Not a problem. I'd normally have no issues trying out an app and normally look forward to it but I'm no student

How cool of you to make an app for your students... Wish I had a prof like you when I was in school. Looks good to me, but I'm a function over form kinda guy, so if it works as intended I'm sure it's good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
WHAT THE???? Such sad news. I know he was a pretty young guy and we all gave him a bunch of advice on life. That's just crazy, he will be missed.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Yes, they love me and I spoil them. Does the app look okay though? I can't tell objectively. The content itself is good (it's what they want)... hoping it doesn't look too amateur.

Anyone else who can take a look, this is an app I made for work and I'm looking for general feedback on how it looks and works. I only have two test devices, and simulators... do the menus look right? Things seem to open like normal app behavior? Layout, transitions, icons, etc.? Thanks. It's on the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.erikalin.stats1

Ah, so sad. I saw a remembrance page on FB his family put up too. Adorable blue eyes, and so young. I sent a message to his mom on FB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShapesBlue:
Wow, I last talked to him on hangouts on June 20th. Such a good kid and such a sad thing to happen to someone at such a young age. RIP my friend

I took a look at your app Erika, functionality is fluid and smooth, easily transitions from one item to the next, was able to download the syllabus and calculate a "grade", so I'd say you're spot on there. The icons look a little distorted on my Note 3 though, have you included other res folders for various screen sizes? (Don't mean to nitpick, but you said you wanted feedback ;) )

And yes, it's very tragic to hear about mopar, the details of his passing are eerily tragic as well. RIP my friend...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I can't believe he is gone... Its seem most good people go on in life young. Loved him as a brother and Xda pal! Very tragic... He will always have a seat here...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Hi. Thanks so much. Good feedback. For design, I am (obviously) going for an app that looks like a homescreen, as if I'm giving users eight apps in one. I need to deal with the image issue you note. Play Store also wants apps to be "tablet ready" these days too, whichconcerns the same issue you raise about those images. It will definitely be in the next update. Thanks again for taking the time.

BTW, what took the most work in this by far was coding a calculator in java to include. I know that feature is not pretty yet, but I'm glad to have gotten it working. Second hardest thing was creating a fully-functional forum all mobile. So it's on tapatalk like xda, but on the main page as a "website" it's still mobile-optimized, mobile web app essentially... man, lots of work go into a project like this. (Did you see the hamster? I had to put something in there like that, otherwise too serious lol)

If anyone else has a few minutes, I'd be grateful for any additional feedback. Don't worry about the content of the app - it's what it should be - but more about the look and function. Like, I normally hate splashscreens (annoy users) but I did need to brand this one. Does it look okay how I have it? My hope is that this whole app can look smooth after a revision based on all this good feedback. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.erikalin.stats1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
If you're looking for a good and easy way to test the app you should check out GenyMotion. It is by far the best performing Android emulator out there and can do about 50 or so different devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Hi. Thanks. They charge for their service though except for personal use, which this isn't. The whole project is actually a "free gift" as it is, nothing I was paid to do, so I don't want to spend anything other than my time. Lots of work but fun learning/hobby, especially all the java programming... :highfive:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I know you said the content is what it should be, but I just finished applied stats for my MBA and used stats functions alot! Maybe take a look at some stats specific helpers for the kiddos? I'm on the S5, and the icons look a bit distorted and jagged to me as well. Functions all work great though. Good stuff!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Thanks, my friend. I appreciate you taking the time. Images are the big issue from feedback, and I agree. I wanted them to look "hand drawn" but not jagged - will fix. Spent so much time on the coding and too little on pictures. Content-wise, the stats-specific help comes to students in the semester. They'll access it via this app. There's no shortage - online simulators, I make up mini video lectures which they really like...content is covered. (Check out my rate my professors listing, lol. I spoil them.) s-stats was my mobile web app which I've used for the past few semesters - similar content, just making it a native Android app now too, which is entirely new coding, but content is similar. I'll rebuild the mobile web app again too, with the same stuff. Then iphone users install the mobile web app and don't feel they are missing out. It's a ton of work, but we all play with Android stuff because it's fun. I like to put my hobbies to good use when I can, so I feel better about all the time I spend writing code, lol. Good excuse to say it's for work. ;)

Edit: BTW, I'm glad you and others refer to the images as "icons" because that was my design intent - to make the app itself look like a homescreen, as if I've given you eight apps with their "icons"... good, good. Better images into the next version for sure. ;)
