TripLog has made it to the iPhone AppStore: http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite...3%2526mt%253D8
You need the latest iTunes to see it (version 7.7) And it looks like someone's commenting on the UI already. See the first "review". And no, it wasn't me! :) |

A guy named Raphael Campardou did a great mock-up as an alternative to TripLog's UI. Looks great. See how much better things look when you work within the guidelines of the environment in which you're working? http://ralovely.com/2008/07/10/20-ye...you-an-expert/ Leaving the UI as a second, third (or as someone else listed) a fourth thought or priority is a big mistake. |

Thanks for the link, I knew it would be a good read when I saw this: "I got more and more angry. I really think the UI is crap, and having someone defending and justifying it like that. makes me angry." I've read many of the comments and links that this has generated and if nothing else these people are really passionate about their opinion of what constitutes a great UI. I guess Rick Carter would say they were [..a lot of people taking "cheap shots" to bolster their own egos, thinking "at least I know how to do UI design better than this." ] ;-) |

See the first > "review". And no, it wasn't me! :) And the beat goes on, of the first 13 reviews, all were harshly critical. One even said, "This is the most horrible UI in existence." Obviously that guy has never seen one of my horrible UIs. ;-) |

Nick, We had a football (soccer to you) pundit - an ex pro - who could conjugate the verb "to done great": I done great you done great the boy done great I must say though that when I see US athletes being interviewed, I am far more impressed than when I see our UK sports starts, who seem to need to say "obviously" and "you know what I mean" at least 3 or 4 times per sentence..

(Not to mention the several Dutch / German / ... contributors to this newsgroup whose command of English seems to be better than mine) |

Paul,
| And the young Dutch footballers who can fluently reply to questions in a press conference in three or four languages - when English footballers struggle in one. My wife is Dutch, born in Amsterdam. She came to the USA when she was 22. And also later lived in Germany for a few years. She was an editor for Springer-Verlag in Germany. Besides Dutch she speaks and writes fluent English, German and some French. Puts me to shame. |

Approximative translation (Mir/mich usually both translate to me in English and I hope I didn't make more grammar mistakes than are intentional in this joke :-) "Father has beaten myself", Ede from Berlin says sobbingly. "Me", the mother corrects him. "What, yourself too?" |

Always confused me that a sport where the "ball" is carried in the hand most of the time is called *foot*ball in America. |
