IsoPix 1.2.0 & the Trophy

2013-01-29T01:18:00.000+08:00

IsoPix 1.2.0 is released! Transparent image background option, portrait screen orientation support, and single-touch zooming/panning buttons for devices without multi-touch are added.

By the way, I have just proudly received a trophy from a real pixel artist who uses IsoPix Pro! Look:

It is not a very big trophy but it means a lot to me. In fact, pixel art images are small in general. Being able to fit in subtle details with a limited number of pixels is definitively an art talent. This is one of the reasons why I love pixel art so much. Let me use IsoPix to zoom in to this lovely trophy a little bit closer just to observe its magnificent details:

Wow. I just love it. Thank you so much, PixelGeek!

One more thing, IsoPix has been reviewed by a German Android website Androidmag. That website seems pretty big in the German Android community and I am pleased to have gotten 4 stars out of 5 with IsoPix. Thanks for the kind review Androidmag!

I also sincerely thank all of you who rated/reviewed IsoPix in the market. No matter how many stars you gave, your feedback is very valuable to me. (of course, I must admit that I love all those very kind 5-star ratings :D)

Finally, the full changelog for IsoPix 1.2.0 is as follows. Have fun!

Version 1.2.0:

- New feature: Transparent image background support
- New feature: Portrait screen orientation/rotation support
- New feature: Added single-finger pan/zoom buttons for devices without multi-touch support (optional)
- Now the line/shape tool menu lists the tools in two rows
- Now the last used tab in the color picking dialog will be remembered and reopened at the next launch
- Now the last used image background color will be properly remembered
- Updated the instruction
- Fixed a potential color distortion problem in the color picking dialog on some devices when hardware acceleration is enabled
- Fixed a potential error

Nice Simple Photo Widget 1.2.0

2013-01-20T01:47:00.000+08:00

Nice Simple Photo Widget 1.2.0 has arrived and the free zooming mode for photo viewing has been added. In that mode you can use intuitive gestures to zoom / pan the photo. Basically, pinch to zoom and drag to pan. You can enter the free zooming mode by long pressing the photo in the widget configuration screen.

I have also added the random photo rotation option for the slideshow. Originally, photos are shown one by one in a fixed alphabetical order according to their file names. Now you have the option to make the photo widget randomly choose the next photo for the slideshow. This may make the slideshow a little bit more interesting.

Here is the full changelog. Enjoy! :D

Version 1.2.0:

- New feature: Added the free zooming mode for viewing photos with dragging and 2-finger pinching navigation (requires Android 2.0 or newer)
- New feature: Added the random photo rotation option
- Fixed an error in the image cropping component for some Android 3.0+ devices with hardware acceleration enabled
- Changed the image cropping instruction text color

IsoPix 1.1.0 & IsoPix Pro

2013-01-16T19:31:00.000+08:00

IsoPix 1.1.0 is released! Now you can optionally show the gridlines on your pixel art image. Like this cute little mario pixel art image:

(Nope, I didn't draw it from scratch - I referred to some example as I am not that good at art :))

Along with that are various improvements in the rendering speed and app stability. The zooming function is also improved so that the user won't get lost when zooming in / out the image.

I am also pleased to introduce the ad-free pro version of IsoPix - the IsoPix Pro. Exclusive Pro features include direct input of RGB / HSV color value for precise color specification, extra customization power to change the app background color and grid color to make it your own personal pixel art editor, and completely free of ads.

Of course, the free ad-supported version will continue to be free and I will continue to update both versions. New features will be added to both versions although some of them will be exclusive to the Pro users.

I thank you all for your feedback and support in any form. :)

The following is the full changelog. Have fun making pixel art!

Version 1.1.0:

- New feature: optional grid display (toggle button in menu-key-menu)
- New feature (Pro): color specification via direct HSV/RGB value input
- New feature (Pro): custom app background color option
- New feature (Pro): custom grid color option
- Improved the rendering performance when zoomed in
- Improved zooming so that the users won't get lost
- Improved the app session restoration after being paused
- Fixed a potential error which may occur when returning to the main interface

Nice Simple Photo Widget 1.1.0

2012-12-31T21:25:00.000+08:00

Nice Simple Photo Widget has been updated to version 1.1.0.

At first I didn't plan to add the photo cropping functionality to this widget because I wanted to keep it simple. I thought the photo editing such as cropping was other photo editing app's job. But then I found that a number of users really want that cropping feature in my app for convenience, so I added it. :)

I have also added two sub-minute slideshow photo update intervals to the widget. (10/30 seconds) Please note that if you really want to switch photos that fast in the slideshow, more system resources would naturally be used. I would give you the choice tho, as this is also requested by some of you.

Enjoy and have a great 2013!

Version 1.1.0:

- New feature: Added built-in photo crop/rotate editing functions
- New feature: Added sub-minute slideshow photo update intervals (every 30 seconds and every 10 seconds)
- Redesigned and improved the built-in simple file browser
- Now the images are rotated in a fixed alphabetical order in the slideshow
- Fixed a few potential errors in photo file selection
- Fixed an error which occurred when the available memory of the Android device is too low
- Made some internal changes

So long, Ninja Dodge!

2012-12-29T16:58:00.000+08:00

I recently discovered that Openfeint, the online leaderboard/achievement service I use in Ninja Dodge and Melody Squares, had been shut down. Openfeint has been bought by GREE on November 16, 2012. Without any email notice that I am aware of, the original Openfeint service has been shut down in less than 1 month. In my opinion it is a very poor and irresponsible act of Openfeint / GREE. Even if they did send out notices properly, many developers would definitely be happier if they can have more time to react.

Although my games are not very popular, I really wish I could backup the online leaderboard data of them. It may sound silly, but they are proofs that my games were once played/enjoyed by those top players. I feel sad that I am not able to do so now.

I am thinking to host my own server for making my own online leaderboard system. It would cost me time and money so I have to think really carefully before going for that.

Ninja Dodge! is my first Android creation and I learned a lot in its development. It uses Openfeint for both of its online leaderboard and achievement system. As a result, these two parts are currently broken when Openfeint is gone. Also, there are many things that I want to redesign/rewrite in Ninja Dodge!, therefore, I decided to unpublish it in the official Android Market for now.

Maybe, in the future, there would be Ninja Dodge! 2. :)

Farewell, Ninja Dodge!!

StyleNote 1.6.0

2012-12-24T00:29:00.000+08:00

StyleNote 1.6.0 is a major update with lots of new features including the addition of note date/time display and individual note collapsing/expanding on the note list. On top of these, there are setup/info screen redesign, a new convenient memo widget option, and many more!

The long full changelog is as follows.

- New feature: "Initial Cursor Position" option for setting the initial editing cursor position in the note editor (under "Editor Preferences" in the "Setup/Info" screen)
- New feature: "Menu Widget Tap Action" option which allows the users to directly launch the note editor from the widget with a single tap (in the "Setup/Info" screen)
- New feature: Individual notes can now collapse / expand on the note list by double-clicking the note title headers
- Now the text in the note editor can be scrolled more smoothly (with auto-scrolling)
- Now launching StyleNote from the recent app list will always launch the main StyleNote app
- Now the extra whitespaces and empty newlines at the end of the note title or body are automatically removed in the note editor
- Redesigned the "Setup/Info" screen: now options are organized into groups
- Fixed an error occurred when trying to send a note via possibly problematic external programs
- Fixed an error occurred when loading an exceptionally large note
- Fixed a potential error when styles are being applied in the note editor
- Attempted to fix an issue where the pop-up context menu of the note editor may not show via long-pressing on some devices
- Updated the instruction text
- Made some internal changes

Enjoy! :D

IsoPix Released

2012-12-16T21:19:00.000+08:00

IsoPix, a Pixel Art editor/maker/creator for Android, is released! :D

I am not an artist but I love certain kinds of art. I have been trying to learn and create some. It is the Pixel Art that fascinates me so much. Some beautiful examples can be found here.

Among the many types of Pixel Art, I like the Isometric Pixel Art the most. They look almost 3D but they are not. I like how 3D objects are presented in low-resolution pixel art images in cartoon-ish ways. They are like Legos to me and I love Legos. :)

There aren't many Pixel Art creation tools out there. I mean, there are a lot of drawing apps but most of them are not really for Pixel Art specifically. Also, I was not aware of any of them being made specially for isometric Pixel Art when I began to develop my own Pixel Art creation app. Actually, I found one recently, but it lacks some of the important features I want anyway.

Isometric lines and cubes, illustrated in the following picture, are difficult to draw in traditional drawing apps.

The difficult part is that isometric lines must be drawn in a very specific way. For diagonal lines, the ratio of number of up/down pixels and right/left pixels must be 2-to-1 or 1-to-2. This ratio is what makes isometric Pixel Art what it is. With traditional drawing app, you either have to be trying to make a perfect isometric line very carefully through numerous trails and errors, or you have to plot the line pixel by pixel. I know that many pixel art artists just use basic painting programs to create breathtaking pixel art but it is always good if there are easier and more time-saving ways to do it.

IsoPix allows you create perfect isometric lines with its built-in isometric line drawing tool. Just drag and drop on your image and you are done. You can even move the added lines around freely to preciously position them after creation. A similar tool for isometric rectangles is also available. These are the features I have always wanted when I used other drawing apps for isometric Pixel Art.

The following are some screenshots of IsoPix, the official app description, and a demonstration video. Have fun making Pixel Art! :D

IsoPix - Pixel Art Editor:

- Intuitive image pan/zoom using 2-fingers gesture (pinch to zoom, drag to pan)
- Easy select, copy, cut, and paste (supports rotation and flipping)
- Isometric tools for drawing isometric lines and rectangles easily
- Ability to precisely position individual lines and shapes
- Ability to save/load colors
- Loading from PNG/BMP/JPG/GIF files; Saving to PNG files
- Basic shapes, different pen/eraser sizes, flood filling, undo/redo

Nice Simple Clock 1.7.0 & Nice Simple Battery 1.5.0

2012-09-03T20:45:00.000+08:00

As you can place multiple Nice Simple Clocks on your home screen, each with its own customization settings, customizable time offset is a natural addition. You now can see times in other timezones easily.

It is particular useful when you travel with your Android phone/tablet as you can have the local time sitting on your home screen without changing your system time setting. Plus, if you have friends or relatives living in foreign countries and you would like to know what time is it in their places quickly, then you just need to place a new clock widget on your home screen and set its custom time offset accordingly.

Another addition is the "Click-to-Launch requires double-click" option for preventing accidental clicks which launch the preference screen or a custom program by accidents.

On the other hand, I have added the bluetooth power switch to the Nice Simple Battery's battery info screen. (next to the wifi switch button) As the older Android versions (1.5 / 1.6) do not support programmatic bluetooth toggle properly, the button will only appear on Android 2.0 or higher. This addition should make the interface more useful for controlling the power usage of your Android devices.

Enjoy. :) Changelogs are as follows.

Nice Simple Clock 1.7.0:

- New feature: Custom time offset option for displaying time in different timezones (under "Other Settings")
- New feature: Click-to-Launch double-click option for preventing accidental clicks (under "Other Settings")
- Added 6 new date formats (UK style)
- Improved the compatibility with some custom Android roms
- Added a link to "Nice Simple Photo Widget"

Nice Simple Battery 1.5.0:

- New feature: Bluetooth Switch is added to the battrey info screen (supports Android 2.0 or higher) (new permissions required)
- Improved the compatibility with some custom Android roms
- Added a link to "Nice Simple Photo Widget"

Nice Simple Photo Widget Released

2012-08-28T15:19:00.003+08:00

The progress for my new project has not been as good as I expected. Well, I blame my PC for being down for a few days last week. :)

I am not quite happy with that, so for the last "10%" of work (which is often the hardest) I worked overnight and got this finished. Here I release Nice Simple Photo Widget as the latest addition to our Nice Simple Widgets family.

Let's look at the screenshots:

Although there are not many components in this widget - just the photo frame and the photo itself, I still give you a decent amount of customization power as usual. You can customize the color, size, and opacity of the photo frame. Currently there are 3 frame sizes, but for the color and opacity settings, you can change them to whatever values you like.

For the photo settings, I couldn't find in the Android market an existing widget that supports the semi-transparent setting. So my widget might be the first one if I didn't overlook - well, at least it is not a common feature. :) Wonder what it is? Just look at the adorable dog in the second screenshot. Basically this feature allows you to have a semi-transparent photo that bends with your desktop wallpaper. The level of transparency is also adjustable.

I hope some of you would like the new widget. If you already donated through my Nice Simple Widgets (Donation) app, you will also be able to enjoy the ad-free version of this new photo widget app. Thanks again for your support!

The following is the major feature list.

Nice Simple Photo Widget:

- Minimalistic style
- Semi-transparent photo display on home screen (supports Android 2.2 or higher)
- Colorful and customizable photo frame
- Slideshow of all photos in a directory (customizable photo update interval: every minute, every hour, every day, etc.)
- Four different widget sizes: 2x2, 2x4, 4x2, 4x4

StyleNote 1.5.0

2012-08-15T19:53:00.000+08:00

In 1.5.0, I basically rewrote parts of the note editor to improve some of the editing "behaviors". The apparent changes may be subtle and are actually hard to explain in words. Consider this as a technical update. :)

A more apparent addition would be the new option which allows users to choose whether to insert new notes at the start or the end of the list. You can find that option in the Setup/info screen. I hope you would find it useful.

On another note, I am now working on the third project for the Nice Simple Widget family - a nice simple photo widget. Hopefully I can release the first version of it this week or the next.

OK. Here is full changelog of StyleNote 1.5.0. Enjoy. :D

Version 1.5.0:

- Rewrote the note editor for improved editing
- New feature: Option to choose whether to insert new notes at the start or the end of the list
- Fixed a potential error
- Attempted to fix an issue related to note-saving

StyleNote Review by ReviewBreaker

2012-06-25T20:50:00.000+08:00

This StyleNote review by ReviewBreaker is the first ever review which I know of for my apps. They even made a HD video for it. Thanks for the kind review, ReviewBreaker!

StyleNote 1.4.0

2012-05-23T23:35:00.000+08:00

In this new version, I have added the auto-saving feature and also the note listing options.

If you are writing long notes with StyleNote, then the auto-saving feature would be useful as it automatically saves your note at regular intervals so that you won't lose much if you forgot to or wasn't able to manually save the note due to accidents.

While the flow view of notes which shows both the note titles and content in one single view is informative, some users may prefer to have just a list of note titles when there are a lot of notes. Now you are able to choose the way the notes are listed. That is, you can choose to see only the titles, only the content, or both in the note list.

Enjoy!

Version 1.4.0:

- New feature: Note notebook view option to show titles only, etc. (in the "Setup/Info" screen)
- New feature: Note auto-saving option (in the "Setup/Info" screen)
- Improved the note-saving mechanism
- Reduced the margins around the note list
- Fixed a potential error on note sharing

StyleNote 1.3.0 & StyleNote Pro

2012-05-19T12:53:00.000+08:00

StyleNote has just been updated. One nice addition to this version is the note sharing/sending feature. It allows you to send your note via email or other applications that you have installed. (e.g. Twitter / Plurk / etc.) Facebook doesn't work at the moment because the official facebook app doesn't support the standard Android sharing mechanism well for some reason. (It is actually considered a bug by many developers but Facebook has not fixed it yet.) Technically It can be done in a non-trivial way but that would be quite a task. I may look into that and implement it later. In the meantime you can make use of the "copy to clipboard" option to perform manual copy&paste into those apps that don't support standard sharing.

Also, I have released StyleNote Pro - the paid version of StyleNote. It contains more features and has no ads at all. In StyleNote Pro, you can see the note appearance preview in setting screens so that you can tune the colors and text sizes more conveniently. Also, you can set different background colors for different notebooks to have even more customization power.

For those who would like to get the pro features, remove ads, and/or support development, you can easily upgrade to the pro version without losing any of your notebook created in the free version:

Backup your notebooks using the backup feature in the free version (under "more notebook options" in the notebook menu)
Install StyleNote Pro
Restore the notebooks in StyleNote Pro using the restore feature
Done! And you may uninstall the free version

Here is the changelog. I hope you like it. :D

Version 1.3.0:

- New feature: "More note options" (the 6th icon at the bottom)
- New feature: note sharing/sending (under "More note options")
- New feature (Pro): note appearance preview in setting screens
- New feature (Pro): different notebooks can now have different background colors (under "More notebook options")
- Added a new memo widget size (6x6)
- Added links to "StyleNote Pro"
- Improved the preferences with sliders: the number area is enlarged so that it can be clicked more easily to bring up the popup input dialog
- Fixed an issue where opening a deleted note via a widget will crash the program

Nice Simple Widgets (Donation) Released

2012-05-03T11:27:00.001+08:00

A number of users asked me whether there would be ad-free versions of my apps. They find the ads are at times distracting and they are happy to contribute a small amount of money to support the development of the apps.

I tend to keep my apps free to everyone, that's why I include ads in the hope that they can at least cover my development cost.

Frankly, up to now, what I earned from the ads has not yet even covered the development cost. By cost, I am only counting the developer registration fee and the outdated tablet that I bought mainly for Android app development. So that doesn't include countless hours I put into the development and support of my apps.

App development is my hobby or side-project, so it is all good. I will still keep working on that. Ultimately, however, it would be great if it can become a reasonable source of income for me. Of course, even if that is remotely possible, there would be a very long way to go.

Anyway, here it is - my first paid app: Nice Simple Widgets (Donation).

Actually it is not a functional app by itself. It is a donation/key app that removes the ads of the widgets (Nice Simple Clock and Nice Simple Battery). The details are as follows:

This is the donation key app for the Nice Simple Widgets family. By contributing a small amount, you can enjoy the ad-free versions of all my Nice Simple Widget apps and encourage further development of updates / new apps.

*** This app is not a functional widget app itself. Instead, it is an add-on that removes the ads of my widget apps. You need to download and install the supported widget(s) separately. ***

Currently, the supported widgets are:

Nice Simple Clock (version 1.6.0 or newer)
Nice Simple Battery (version 1.4.0 or newer)

More may come and this donation app will continue to work for them as well! :)

Please note that you do not need to uninstall the existing widget app(s). In fact, you should keep the installation of them.

After installing this donation app, all the Nice Simple Widgets will become ad-free automatically.

For example, by installing both the Nice Simple Clock app and this donation app, you will essentially have an ad-free version of the Nice Simple Clock app.

Thanks for your support! :)

Nice Simple Clock 1.6.0 & Nice Simple Battery 1.4.0

2012-05-03T11:27:00.000+08:00

Both Nice Simple Clock and Nice Simple Battery are updated with the new addition of text shadow options and some interface improvement.

Here is a screenshot that shows the text shadow effect:

The shadow colors, as usual, are customizable. :D

And here are the changelogs:

Nice Simple Clock 1.6.0:

- New feature: Text shadow options
- New feature: Ads are now removable by purchasing "Nice Simple Widgets (Donation)"
- Added a link to "Nice Simple Widgets (Donation)"
- Improved the preferences with sliders: the number area is enlarged so that it can be clicked more easily to bring up the popup input dialog

Nice Simple Battery 1.4.0:

- New feature: Text shadow options
- New feature: Ads are now removable by purchasing "Nice Simple Widgets (Donation)"
- Added a link to "Nice Simple Widgets (Donation)"
- Added a new size for the widget (2x2)
- Improved the preferences with sliders: the number area is enlarged so that it can be clicked more easily to bring up the popup input dialog

Have fun customizing! :D

StyleNote 1.2.0

2012-04-15T20:56:00.000+08:00

StyleNote has just been updated.

It includes a feature that has been requested by many - backup and restore of the notebooks. I consider it as a core functionality so I am glad I finally have it added. Currently it is a backup / restore of everything, but I may add individual notebook export / import functions later.

This update took me quite some time as I had to test thoroughly to make sure the backup feature works correctly. (hopefully it does!) If there is any problem, please let me know.

In addition, I have added the options for setting the default content of the new notes. That should be an convenient feature for users who take notes a lot.

Hope you like the update. :)

Version 1.2.0:

- New feature: backup and restoration of all notebooks (under "More options...")
- New feature: preferences for setting the default content of note title and body (in the "Setup/Info" screen)
- Redesigned the icons for lock and unlock operations
- Moved the lock and unlock operations to "More options..."
- Removed some unnecessary prompts for master password

StyleNote 1.1.0

2012-02-11T06:31:00.001+08:00

Got some private notes? No problem! StyleNote has been updated with a new feature: password lock for notebooks.

To use this feature, first you need to setup a master password in the preference screen. Then, you can make your notebooks private using the "lock a notebook" item under the notebook menu. After a notebook is locked, accessing it would require the password you created earlier.

This feature has been requested by quite a number of users, so I got it implemented in this version. Hope you find it an useful addition. :D

Version 1.1.0:

- New feature: notebook password-protected lock
- Fixed a potential error

Nice Simple Battery 1.3.0

2012-02-04T11:59:00.001+08:00

Nice Simple Battery 1.3.0 is now available. I have redesigned the battery info page and added many new stuff to it. Now you can easily switch on/off the wi-fi power, open up the GPS setup or the Display setup, and show the battery usage statistics there. They should be handy when your battery is running low.

On top of these, I have made some internal changes to reduce the use of memory and CPU in this version.

Enjoy! :D

Version 1.3.0:

- New feature: Battery Usage button is added to the battery info screen
- New feature: Wifi Switch button is added to the battery info screen (new permissions required)
- New feature: Display Setup button is added to the battery info screen
- New feature: GPS Setup button is added to the battery info screen
- Reduced the use of memory and CPU
- Fixed a potential error

Milestones 10000 and 100

2012-02-02T00:25:00.000+08:00

I am very excited to find that my Nice Simple Clock widget has reached 10000 downloads today on the official Android market. This is my first 10000. :D

On the same day (just now), it also received its 100-th ratings! An average score of 4.7 looks good to me. :D

Again, these are not big numbers to many developers but they mean a lot to me. Thanks so much for your support! :D

This widget app was released at the end of last year's November. After numerous updates, It is now quite close to what I want it to be. Therefore, I will probably put more time on new app / game development and adding features to my other apps. Of course, if I got any new ideas for this clock widget I will definitely keep updating it.

Melody Squares Reached 1000 Downloads

2012-01-24T18:21:00.000+08:00

Statistically, my apps are doing better than my games but yesterday Melody Squares has reached 1000 downloads on the Android Market. So to celebrate I have added 3 new instruments to it. Enjoy!

Version 1.0.2:

- Added 3 new instruments: Harmonica, Trumpet, and Percussive Organ

On a side note, I am now working on my 3rd game - a math game.

Nice Simple Clock 1.5.0

2012-01-18T18:40:00.000+08:00

Nice Simple Clock is also updated. Similar to the latest battery widget update, font styles (bold / italic) options are added. Also, you can now precisely adjust both the horizontal and vertical positions of the whole clock in this version.

Hope you like the additional customization power. :D

Nice Simple Battery 1.2.0

2012-01-17T02:09:00.000+08:00

There are quite a number of changes in this update. In particular, two new options are added: a font style option (bold / italic) and a square background option. There is also a new size (1x2) for the widget which may be useful for those of you who would like to have a long horizontal bar for the battery-meter.

Just to demonstrate some customization possibilities with the new options:

Enjoy! :D

Version 1.2.0:

- New feature: Font style option (bold / italic)
- New feature: Square background option
- Added a new size for the widget (1x2)
- Added a link to StyleNote

- Adjusted widget margin space for Android 4.0
- Changed some of the setting descriptions

StyleNote Released

2012-01-14T05:25:00.000+08:00

Finally my 5th Android software StyleNote is finished. Different from my previous 2 non-game apps, this one is more than just a widget. It is a "standalone" note editing and organization app with a handy memo widget included. Hope some of you find it useful. :D

After this release, I would now have time to work on some updates of my other apps and games. But before that I shall sleep now - it is kind of late here.

Note with rich styles and colors; Organize with notebooks; Jot with memo widgets

Features:

- Note editor with rich text styles (bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough)
- Highly customizable note text sizes and colors
- Flow view of all your notes: an overview of all notes in one place - more than just a list of note titles
- Note organization with notebooks / folders
- Custom note ordering (you can move any note up / down and have your own ordering of notes)
- Semi-transparent memo widgets for putting your notes on your homescreen

Nice Simple Clock 1.4.0

2011-12-30T21:45:00.000+08:00

Now the users have the ability to move the whole clock horizontally. It is more than just basic left/right alignment - you can actually precisely specify the horizontal position with a slider.

Actually the rounded-edge background option introduced in 1.3.0 and also this clock position adjustment feature are both proposed by the users. So, if you have any idea or request, please just me know via email, this blog, or the newly added Twitter and Facebook page. Of course I can't guarantee all requested features will be implemented but I do consider every user suggestion seriously. :D

I received several thank-you emails these few days. Thanks again for you support!

Version 1.4.0:

- New feature: Option for setting the horizontal position of the whole clock (under "Other Settings")
- Grouped the time and the am/pm text so that they are centered together
- Fixed an error which happened when a link was opened directly from the readme
- Made some minor changes to some of the user interface items
- Updated the readme with links to the Twitter and Facebook page

I have created a Facebook page and a Twitter microblog for nullium. They are mainly meant to give users additional ways to receive app development updates and possibly give me feedback there.

On another note, I am now working on my 5th Android project - a nice simple note / memo app. It is going to be a standalone note app which helps you organize notes and also a memo widget with which you can post memos on the homescreen.
