Scorecard for Windows is now available!

Geir-Tore — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:09:14 +0000

For the last few months I’ve been busy working on a Windows port of Scorecard, a golf statistics application which previously was Mac only. I am happy to say that the Windows version is finally available for download and purchase!

This is what Alan Olson, one of the staff members of The Sand Trap has to say about Scorecard:

If you are serious about improving your golf game but not sure which areas need the most work, Scorecard is an excellent and easy to use application to help you identify your problem areas. I’ve created my own tracking spreadsheets and used several online services in the past but Scorecard blows all of those away by just ease of use and the data generated really shows you quickly what you need to work on. For us Windows folks, this is great day!

If you love to analyze your golf game and want to improve you should seriously take a look at Scorecard.

Not discontinuing the widget afterall

Geir-Tore — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 19:58:25 +0000

After some reconsideration and some nice feedback from forum users at Mac1.no, have I decided to continue the work on my weather widget, despite my earlier post.

I have spent quite some time with it today, and the progress are good. I’m done with the collection of data, but there are quite some graphical adjustments to do.

New home for my site

Geir-Tore — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 17:29:08 +0000

I have for quite a while now been using RapidWeaver to create and publish my site on the space I have available from my DSL provider. The use of RapidWeaver has been okey enough, and the ease of creating new content using this app are amazing. It has it’s limitations though, which are the reason behind my decision to move my site over to WordPress and the new domain http://www.lindsve.net. First of all, WordPress is free to use, which of course is great! Second, it supports a lot of great options which are great for blogging news I cross around the net. I’m not going to detail about that here, those of you which are interested in a platform for such a site can take a look over at WordPress.org and check it out.

I haven’t got around to have everything over to this site yet, and there are still some coding to do in the site templates to support some of the features in WordPress, but I guess I will be done with that tomorrow.

Update: I have now transferred all content (except blog attachments) from my old site.

Discontinued widget

Geir-Tore — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 10:56:42 +0000

I have as of now discontinued my weather widget (VÃ¦rmelding). It hasn’t been updated for a long time (but I was planning to), but I have now discovered that my home town have appeared in the Apple weather widget. Now that I don’t have any personal incentive to update my own widget, I have decided to discontinue it. It will still be downloadable from my website in case someone else want to give it a try.
