Oops, missed a replace so the minutes were not working on the commercials. Fix here: http://www.lulzsoft.com/installers/olympiTime.03a.exe

A new version of OlympiTime, which now counts hours, minutes, and seconds.  Grab it while it’s hot: http://www.lulzsoft.com/installers/olympiTime.02a.exe

I got so sick of the commercials during the Olympics that I wrote a quick app to TIME both the commercials and the actual Olympics.  Pick up the first alpha here:  http://www.lulzsoft.com/installers/olympiTime.01a.exe

Later I will be adding minutes and hours, but for now, sleep.

Testing posting from my phone for use at CES!

One of my friends jokes about how much time he spends on gmail. I jokingly took this up as a challenge, and have just launched gWatch, a google gadget that will track the time you spend in gmail. Check it out over at http://gWatch.info

This is just a quick bugfix for those of you with square screens. Ed Thompson found the bug where square screens were not displaying correctly. I had set anchors when I shouldn’t have, and it should now be fixed. In doing this, I also fixed the landscape(rotation) bug.

Cab: http://www.lulzsoft.com/installers/gasmate_rc.42b.CAB

.Net CF 3.5 http://www.lulzsoft.com/wordpress/2009/08/07/net-cf-3-5-cab/

SQLCE: http://www.lulzsoft.com/wordpress/2009/06/07/sqlce-cab-files-for-ppcs/

Since many of you have asked directly for the cab….here it is!

NETCFv35.wm.armv4i

As I have opted to respond by email to errors posted, I thought I would give an overview of what certain errors mean, and what to do about them.

If you do not have SQLCE installed, you will get this error:

Gasmate.exe
MissingMethodException
File or assembly name
’system.data.sqlserverce,
version=3.5.0.0 culture=neutral,
publickeytoken=3be235df1c8da2d3′,
or one of its dependencies, was not
found.

The solution to this is to install the SQLCE cabs I have hosted or download it from Microsoft.

If you have an old version of GasMate, you might get an error similar to this:

GasMate.exe
SqlCeException

The solution to this is to either delete the database, or export your data and modify it to re-import it.

If you have a smartphone(WM Standard), you will get this error:

NotSupportedException

Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAR(PAL_ERROR.ar)

System.Windows.Forms.Control._InitInstance(WNT wnt, UInt32 dwStyle)

Unfortunately at this time, WM Standard does not support some of the form elements I am using in GasMate. Later on there is the possibility of a fork that will work on WM Standard.

This is a bugfix version with a few features added:

• Decimal separator is now pulled from localization info
• Dollar sign($) is also pulled from localization info
• Last gas type used is remembered
• Added an extra digit to gals and price
• CAB file is now compressed to make it smaller, I will work on the EXE’s next
