Hi All, I’ve used flurry for a number of years to keep track on my apps as it give a great view of active users, sessions and can also be used for error reporting.

Hi All, So I’ve had a lot of feedback on the uservoice site, gripdev.uservoice.com, about the colour.

Hi All, Recently I’ve needed a throw away environment and so turned to Azure IAAS to get a nice VM up and running quickly.

Hi all, A while back I did a talk @wpug about the work I’d done when I re-wrote one of my apps with a new shared core.

Hi All, I’ve put a Preview release of PaperBoy on the store, for those who want to test it out (WP8 only atm) you can download it here: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?

Hi All, So its been a busy couple of months my end, I’ve started a new role and getting up to speed has meant the time I had to make changes to the BBC News Mobile code base was limited.

Really quick one that might help out others.

Hi, So I’ve been working on a generic news reader to hopefully put the BBC News Mobile code base to a good use.

Hi, Following the removal of the BBC News Mobile apps from the store I will be removing the service supporting the live tile functionality on Windows Phone 7.x and Windows 8.

Hi, These have been a labor of love for me since the launch of Windows Phone in 2010 and it is with great sadness today that I removed both applications from the store.

Hi all, I was looking at doing a rough draft (think POC) for an app and wanted to use WebAPI for the back end.

Hi All, For all those who’ve been in touch recently thank you for your feedback and support.

Hi All, I’ve just put the finishing touches to a weekend project I started a couple of weeks ago.

Hi All, This is a bit of an odd one but today I got one of the most abusive support requests I’ve ever received and realised I’ve never really talked about these.

Hi All, Really quick update, from the emails I’m getting it looks like the livetiles aren’t behaving well after users update to windows phone 7.8.

Release includes, by popular demand: Improved the visuals - header space shrunk, overlaps fixed and nicer pics.

Hi All, Think this is very nearly there, if you see anything that you don’t like/is a bug/shouldn’t happen let me know!

Hi All, I’ve been working like mad to try and get this one done and up to scratch.

Hi all, It’s been a month and a bit since my last update so I just wanted to let you all know that I’m still here!

Hi all, Been a hectic couple of weeks with some family weddings and working hard on the day job.

Hi all, I’ve just put the finishing touches to my new app that’s been alive for a while now as a personal project.

Hi all, For the Windows 8 Preview, I want to say a massive thanks to everyone who has been submitting feedback, I’ve had over 30 bug reports/feature requests and am starting to work through them all now.

Hi, It’s very early days at the moment but I’m going to be looking for some beta testers over the next couple of weeks.

Hi, Version 3.6 is going through certification at the moment, it fixes issues with articles displaying incorrectly and several other bugs.

Hi, I haven’t really talked about stats very much for the application.

My computer met with a large quantity of pepi max last night.

My main computer met with a large quantity of pepi max last night.

Hi All, Just submitted an update for the BBC News Mobile app, this fixes the issues around live tiles.

Hi all, Just a heads up that I’m moving my email provider, hopefully all goes well but you may see some mails bounce during the transition.

Hi All, Just finished working on the more complete fix.

Hi all, So sat on the train back from London today I was frustrated to find that I couldn’t read any articles on the BBC News Mobile app.

While on the sofa today, I started having a play around with some GUI improvements in the app.

Hi all, Just released a new app, in collaboration with Chris Sienkiewicz and Dave Crawford.

Hi all, new version 2.9 is now live on the marketplace.

Hi, Right so this beta has one purpose.

Hi, I’m going back to the putting the XAP up, as didn’t really get enough up take on the marketplace beta.

Hi, I’ve started playing around with some ideas and features for the next build v2.8 This time round I’m going to be using the private beta testing process on the marketplace, so if your interested in doing some testing email me the live account you have…

Hi, This version is now live in the marketplace so should be making it’s way down to your phones soon.

Hi, Got a lot of emails and I’ve been trying to reply to all of them but it’s not feasible with the current volumes.

Passed certification today so should be published to the market, expect an update notification soon!

EDIT: Beta is no longer functional.

A while back I applied to Microsoft’s MACH Scheme (graduate scheme) and was lucky enough to get offered a place.

Found a much clearer set of how-to’s by windows phone geek here.

Thanks for the continued testing.

This is my latest build with a couple of new features and changes.

Just a quick post, I’ve made some changes to the live tile images.

Hopefully getting pretty well polished by now.

Thanks for all the feedback about the beta.

Thank you so much for all the interest in testing out the app.
