Starter Pistol Version 1.0
So here it is, the final real release. It now includes the ability to save your time with your own choice of race length and location. This makes for a more complete app.

Start with setting your countdown
CountDown - It starts with "On Your Mark" then "Set" and the "Pistol Shot" happens at various times. (3.5 to 1 second)
Uptimer - kicks in automatically (notice the huge button) we also disabled the sleep mode so you can complete a 4 X 4 without having to take your phone out of sleep mode.
Save - Save your time, location and race length with (date-time stamp). (see Starter Pistol Save Time)
Media Kit for the app is available here...

Starter Pistol Changes
09/28/2010 11:58 AM Filed in: iPhone, iPad, iPod, developer,
Ok we got rejected on the first go around with Apple. The reason was that we used the wrong SDK for the binary upload. We used the 3.2 and apparently that is for an “iPad app”. It doesn’t say that on the documentation but that is what it is. So Apple thought that we submitted an iPad app and as you know from our design it was meant for the iPhone.
The track athlete is supposed to strap an iPhone to their arm or whatever and use this app to practice their starts. That would be pretty hard to do with an iPad.
Anyhow it gave us a chance to fine tune it a little. Here are the new screen shots

iPhone Apps:
Starter Pistol
OK we started something new at IP, we are now developing apps for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices.
The Starter Pistol is the first one, look for it soon in the App Store.
Here is a description of the Starter Pistol App:
This app is for the track runner to practice their starts. It features a countdown timer delay to start the "On Your Mark" sequence, the starter pistol sound fires at the end of the countdown sequence. Then a new uptimer kicks in to time the actual run. The " Stop" button on the uptimer is large enough that you really don't have to look at the phone to hit the button. We also set the sleep mode disable to be active on launch. So you can run the timer out without having wake your phone.
We are very happy with the way the whole process went.
Check out the Starter Pistol page for more details.

Red did it again

So RED is raising the bar again, just when the world is trying to recover from the impact of the Red One Camera, the release a big brother to the ROC (Red - One - Camera) the 5K EPIC. More resolution, full size connectors, smaller package, full trade-in value, WOW! How are Panasonic, Sony, JVC, Viper, SI, and the Genesis, going to handle this news? Read More...
Should you Upgrade to Leopard?
Here is the dilemma, I was having problems with Quicktime since the 10.4.11 update which updated Quicktime to 7.3.1 (my setup: PPC G5 - dual 2.0 gig). When I visited a site that had a Quicktime movie and tried to watch it, Safari would crash. Tried the same thing with Firefox and got the same result. This meant that it had to be something in the Quicktime update. I had issues with Finder as well. It would relaunch whenever I right-clicked on items. I went to the Apple site forums and tried a few of the fixes that were posted to no avail. Read More...
What is the best Projector for my "Home Theater" ?
Quantify whether you have the ability to do a rear projection system. Rear projection is definitely the best for "Home Theater" if you have the room.
If you can do a rear projection system anything above 2000 lumens will work. Provided the space behind the projector is enclosed and ambient light can be controlled in that enclosure.
You can do rear projection in a space as small as 5' from the screen for a home theater set-up. In that set up the project is pointed at a mirror which bounces and expands the picture to the right size.
What to look for in a projector: (please note that these specs are minimums) Read More...
