Whoa Chad, don't get your panties into a knot!!! You focused on only the few comments quoted below and completely missed the complements I gave you. You are doing a great job. You should be extremely proud of the work you have done on this project. It is very impressive. Mainly all I was trying to say was for everyone to give you a break and that you would get the updates out when you and they were ready. I will respond to your responses below without shouting. There really is no need to shout at anyone.

OK, I shouldn't have said promise. My choice of wording leaves a lot to be desired. You are right, you have never said we "would have a release today without fail". But, on 12/03 you said "I'm working extremely hard to get a release out tonight,..." and on 12/14 you said "I'm aiming to release tomorrow, and will put all my energies into doing just that". The releases came out on 12/06 and 12/17. There were several more of these reports throughout this and your previous thread. Reports like these only gets everyone really excited and then when the updates don't show up as they think they should people start bugging you and making comments about the program fizzing out. I know that you are working extremely hard to get the updates out when you say but let's face facts, with programming, you can always come up with little glitches that you didn't expect and end up taking much longer to get it right than you thought. All I was trying to say was that it would be better just to come up with a short update every couple of days saying that you're still working hard and having a little problem here or there and that an update will come out when you get everything right or something to that effect. .. . .. ... . ... (grains of salt) LOL

No, that was the best way to handle the new completely redesigned program. The old thread was getting too big and with the new design people don't need to go though all the previous pages of posts since they really didn't relate to the new version. As a matter of fact, you should probably do like A_C with his S2U2 program. He opens a new tread whenever he puts out a new version with many upgrades and the old thread starts to get too long. If version .4 has as many great upgrades and bug fixes as you have been talking about, it might be time to start a new thread with it.

I've been loading your program onto my phone since your very first version way back when. At least three times it crashed my phone so bad that I had to reboot the operating system and reload all my contacts and data. But even so, I continue to load each and every new version you come out with because I know it is a great program and I hope eventually you will come up with a final good working version. My "if ever" comment only referenced that in my opinion, it appears that you will never finish the program since you want to add all the suggestions everyone makes. My hope is that you don't try to get too elaborate with your program and instead come up with a fully bug free working program that you can release as ver 1.0 for everyone to use. Once it is released then you can play around with adding exotic features that are suggested for future testing and releases. Yeah, I'll keep loading and using your program.

I didn't mean to insult you with the "partying" comment. Let's face facts, a majority of university students around the world party to relieve some of the stress of studying. I have a lot of respect for you if you can handle the stress without partying. I was just trying to tell everyone else that you are human and have a life to lead besides making a program for people. With the very little bit of programming experience I have, I know you are working hard. I didn't mean to imply that you were spending all your time doing other things instead of working on the program if that is what you thought.

OK, now I'll probably tick everyone else off. With your talent in programming proven with this program, have you ever given it any thought to possibly working as an independent programmer for a software company and get paid for your hard work? SBSH software is always looking for independent programmers/project managers all around the world to bring and develop new software for them. (No, I don't work for them but I have done some investigation into them) Their PocketWeather program is one of the best weather programs I've found and I'm now starting to try their PocketBreeze and iLauncher programs. I've tried two other weather programs before and they didn't compare. They don't have a music player program in their line-up and yours would fit in nicely with their quality products. You deserve to be paid handsomely for your work and this is one way to make it happen. Check them out at www.sbsh.net. Check out their job link.

Keep up the great work.
