Lingopal makes it onto Korean TV show February 13, 2010 No Comments

It seems there is quite a popular youth-oriented TV program called ‘We Got Married’, and from what I can gather, and I haven’t gathered much, two popular celebrities are paired together and pretend, mostly in front of guests, to be married.
In this episode, a young Afghan guy visits Ga-In from Brown Eyed Girls fame (a [...]

Voyage update live; continuing concerns about Apple’s approval process July 25, 2009 No Comments

It’s been over 5 weeks since we submitted the OS 3.0 update for Voyage, and it has finally been approved. There’s understandable relief on one part, but a gnawing anxiety on another.

A brief review on reviewers July 8, 2009 No Comments

After sales dropped right off in Japan following the OS 3.0 debacle, I was nervous whether we would ever be able to recover there. That #3 spot we held for so long was highly cherished.

Lingopal has now been on sale for 2 weeks, so it’s a good time to have a look at how we’ve been going.
Apple gives us the ability to see the downloads on a daily basis. It’s pretty detailed, splitting the information into geographical iTunes stores and their respective currencies. So far we’ve had sales from [...]

Video grumble April 13, 2009 No Comments

I have been trying to make a video of our iPhone app, and it has been very painful. You would think it ought to be easy - just set it up and go through the motions. Multiple attempts though, have been confounded on uploading to YouTube, which seems to degrade the quality so much that [...]

Tassels and Contretemps No Comments

Last night I went to see a show at The Loft Bar in Fremantle. The Fremantle Street Arts Festival was in full swing over the Easter weekend, and in the evening they had a grouped performance, which saved having to go and see the individual acts during the day. Some of the acts were very [...]
