S&T SkyWeek 1.2

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:14:47 +0000

SkyWeek is the new, interactive, mobile version of Sky & Telescope magazine’s super-popular “This Week’s Sky at a Glance” web page — a day-by-day calendar of events to observe in the changing night sky. “This Week’s Sky at a Glance” has been Sky & Telescope’s most popular online offering for 21 years.

SkyWeek now adds interactive, custom sky maps that are automatically set for your location (not the static version’s compromise for the center of North America). And starting from the sky scene that’s displayed, you can pan all around your heavens, change the scene to other times and dates, and zoom in or out.

• All major sky events: eclipses, conjunctions, good meteor showers — miss nothing!

• Zoomable constellation charts: pan around your whole sky, and change to any time or date!

• Automatically customized to your location worldwide.

• Links to more info.

Whether you’re a newbie skywatcher or an experienced amateur astronomer, SkyWeek will become your handy, everyday guide to what’s up.

Recent changes:
• Can be moved to SD card (in fact it prefers to live here by default)

• Removed S&T website login requirement, except for those parts of S&T’s web site which are already password-protected.

• Requires android OS version 2.2 (previously required 2.1)

• New startup screen artwork

• Smaller App Size

Lampguiden

Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:16:13 +0000

Välkommen till Lampguiden

Lampguiden är appen som kan hjälpa dig att hitta rätt typ av belysning samtidigt som du kan spara både pengar och miljö. Belysning brukar stå för ungefär en femtedel av ett hushålls elanvändning. Ersätter du dina glödlampor med ny energieffektiv belysning kan du göra skillnad.

Lampguiden har fyra ingångar:

1. Hitta lampan
Nu när den gamla glödlampan fasas ut kanske du också är en av dem som undrar vilken ny lampa du ska välja. Med Lampguiden kan det bli enklare att välja rätt bland av de energieffektiva belysningsalternativ som finns.

1. Leta efter lampan som du ska ersätta
2. Ställ in önskad effekt i watt (W)
3. Resultatet presenteras i ljusflöde, lumen (lm) och listar möjliga ersättningslampor

2. Inred med ljus
Sovrumsljus? Middagsljus? Arbetsljus? Hitta rätt belysning beroende på rum och funktion.

3. Konvertera
Ljusflöde mäts i lumen (lm). Här får du hjälp att konvertera den gamla glödlampans watt till rätt antal lumen.

4. Info
Här finner du svar på vanliga frågor som har med hembelysning att göra.

Funktioner:
-Jämför belysningsalternativ
-Så mycket sparar du
-Konverteringstabell från watt (W) till lumen (lm)
-Välj rätt rumsljus
-Ordförklaring

a41cv

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:45:24 +0000

a41cv is my open source simulator of the legendary HP41CV RPN calculator. The first production version of a41cv was released in February 2011. Nearly all of the original HP41CV functions are implemented.
The calculator differs from the HP41CV in the following ways:
No definition of number of register
Programmes cannot be assigned to keys (working on that)
Not all special flags implemented
Number of programme lines only limited by phone memory
Only a simple programme editor (by now) but full import / export of programmes on cvs format
Still trying to make a41CV fit better on the now more than 1782 different devices it works on according to Google Market

Recent changes:
Not much news in version 1.5.
Some bugs have been solved and the old layout removed as it was too dependent on screen size. This reduced the size of the app to a 1/4 of last version.
Bug fixes:
Problem with rounding in INT function solved
Problem with stack lost when the user switch to other apps solved

Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:36:49 +0000

The Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary App is designed to help students study and review the 600 most frequent words in the Hebrew Bible. The top 600 words are divided into sets of 25 which can be mixed and matched to create a single list. Once a list is created, students click through the words individually, reveal the English translation, and move to the next word. If they incorrectly identify the Hebrew word, students can choose to send the word to a sub-list for further review.

In addition to the top 600 words in the Hebrew Bible, lesson lists are available that correspond with Thomas O. Lambdin's Introduction to Biblical Hebrew textbook.

The Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary app was designed by Geri Clements, a Biblical Hebrew Instructor at Brigham Young University and a M.S. student in Instructional Psychology & Technology, as a way for her students to always have their vocabulary lists with them no matter where they go. Waiting in lines and waiting for friends can now be leveraged into Biblical Hebrew study time! Just think of the possibilities...

Recent changes:
1.08 - Fixed a bug where adding a word to a review list more than once would cause the app to hang.

1.07 - Added a Previous Word button so you can now navigate forward and backward through a set of flash cards. Fixed typos on a few words.
