SBSwitcher – Put SBSettings Toggles in The App Switcher (Multitasking bar)

SBSwitcher is a new jailbreak tweak available in the Cydia store. SBSwitcher places SBSettings toggles in the App Switcher. Simply scroll the App Switcher bar to the left to access SBSettings toggles.

“SBSwitcher brings the power of SBSettings to the simplicity of the app switcher bar – just scroll left! With SBSwitcher, you can also access the switcher bar and all of your SBSettings toggles from the convenience of the lock screen.”

SBSwitcher is compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch on iOS 4.0 and later, and works well when combined with various other app switcher tweaks!

SBSwitcher adds no new icons to your homescreen. You can configure SBSwitcher from the Settings app. It makes SBSettings feel more like a native part of the iPhone.

Download SBSwitcher

You can purchase and download SBSwitcher from the Cydia Store for $2.99 via BigBoss repo.

Indeed $2.99 is quite the hefty price for a tweak that offers the same functionality that you’ve been enjoying all of this time for free. Let us know your views in the comments section below.

Conferences For iPhone Developers

Apple World Wide Developers Conference

Popularly known as “WWDC”, this is Apple’s official developer conference. If you live around the area this is a must attend. All the cutting-edge programming topics are taught here. WWDC is the Mac daddy of all iPhone conferences.

360|iDev

360|iDev is the premiere iPhone, iPod touch developer conference in the world. Every year prior to the show they have a call for papers, if you want to make a debut as a conference speaker.

iPhone Dev Camp

iPhoneDevCamp is the brainchild of Raven and Dom. The event format is “unconference” or Barcamp-style, featuring content from the participants themselves. There are satellite events held all over the country. The next one is this August.

Game Developers Conference

Popularly know to all as GDC – this conference is for all game developers, and there’s an increasing number of mobile app game developers. If you’re a game developer or want to be one, this is the one game developer conference to go to. When the boom in the mobile sector happened they branced out and now have a separate 3 day event called GDC Mobile, that contains separate tracks and events related purely to the mobile gaming space.

Stack Overflow Dev Days

This is more of a general developer conference and is not just for iPhone developers. The good part aobut this conference is that it’s in multiple venues and dates, and it will set you back by only $99.

Log Parsing Solution

Need the following:

*log parser- as new files available
*Database connector
*Database Schema
and
*Web-based interface with canned reports based on criteria.
* user login. admin can assign what clientid goes with each username in the system

Options could be
*Ability to create custom queries.
*Email reports with CSV attachments per client

In the logs we append to a gif file:
clientID, sID, oID, mType, bID, CID, country,
custom variables (1 currently, need to be able to pass more)

Example: p.gif?cid=tn&sid=1234&oid=1234&cc=US&mt=o&cpd=1234custom1=custom&rr=#rand

rr is just a random variable we append that is not parsed from logs..

Need: views/load of file by date per cid for sid, oid (file), cpd

It needs to support a couple million parses per day.

Logs may need to be grabbed via rsync.

Oscommerce Link Fixes

1) Need to change the link structure in new site from
http://www.buylingerieonline.com.au/leg-avenue-dreamgirl-item-4222-p-4971.html
to
http://www.buylingerieonline.com.au/dreamgirl-item-4222-p-4971.html

so remove the leg-avenue- which is automatically added to every link in my store

2) Ensure the google sitemap function is working correctly after fixing this link structure and ensure it is pinging to google automatically etc properly

3) Get the SSL pages working on my site. for some reason cant display checkout pages or any https pages at moment. Have not installed the ssl certificate as yet, but pages should still be able to be displayed

Custom Web Calendar App 2

I have a client that needs to interface with their existing Google Apps user calendars to provide a calendar application to manage the workflow related to shipping selectable
“kits” to users. I have a current application that does part of the process, but we need to expand on the application.

Generally the flow goes as follows: (remember all users and calendars must use the Google Apps backend)
1. User logs into site with google name
2. User selects specific components and details for a “kit” to be shipped.
3. Warehouse receives notification of the request.
4. Warehouse packages and ships the kit.
5. User receives notification of shipment.
6. User receives shipment.

The warehouse must have a calendar that shows all open requests with different color coding based on the status of the order.

The warehouse and the user need to be able to edit the request at any point up to actual shipping and have the event reflect the new status as well as sending notifications to the parties.

There must be an audit trail for an admin user to be able to track.

It should use a common language in order to facilitate future development.

There are more details available, but in general, this is an accurate description.

The final product does not have to actually be within the google interface but it MUST update the appropriate google calendars.

The final product MUST be accessible from mobile devices (BB, iPhone, iPad, etc).

This is the second time this project has been listed, I apologize, we were not ready with all the application requirements previously.
