Is Today plus dying ?

[jhollin1138]

You can still run TD+ after expiration, right? All you have to do is change your date back before you reset your device. Then TD+ will come up and then you can set your date to the correct date again.

Yes, that should work.  However, since I have an e740, soft resets are a daily requirement to keep everything up and running.   That is allot of date changes I would have to make.

I suggest that v0.12 is only available for the members of the Beta-testing forum...

Aren't we all beta-testers of Today Plus????  

Also, can anybody comment on my earlier post:

"Total non-programmer here, so forgive me if this is a stupid question: I see people with a lot of talent on this board ... what would it take to create a program that does something similar to what TD+ did? I'm not talking about copying TD+, but creating a new program which does something similar. Thoughts?"

Thanks.

Yes we are...
But in the beginning, some uf us could join a separate sub-forum, named Beta Testing so v0.12 is available for quite a while now.

A comment to your earlier post, I think that srs did a great job developing this program, so it's not easy to make the same program or something with the same functionality.

Because the "Beta" version of TodayPlus had become so popular, SRS created a Pre-Beta (Alpha?) group consisting of a much smaller group of individuals.

It would be possible to create a replacement that used the existing skin files and commands, but would most likely take as long as TP did to get where it is now, something like 6-8 months, depending on the programmers experience and available time.

Arg, what's going on here?! I moved appartments and have been without internet for a few days.... SRS is gone? I hope he is not hurt, but I think his absense might be for other reasons.

I've seen some vicious (even psycotic ) posts on this forum and I'll bet any money he's sick of it. Maybe it's gotten to the point where it's effecting his home life... The point is, nobody should have said anything but encouraging and thankful things to the guy. I think he'll be back, I think he's just taking a break.

MY message to SRS: You created a wonderfully complicated program for those of us who knew how to read the code. For the rest you created chaos. But I think you should concider maintaining this user base, especially if you have any plans of making money off this venture. TodayPlus is a geeks dream come true and I'd hate to see some bigshot pocketpc company start something like this. This is your idea.

To the rest of you scumbags (ha, JK all!=scumBags): Instead of insinuating he should come back with this talk of what today apps you need, why not praise him for his hard work and beg him to come back. LT said he's not answering messages. Instead, we should send him a thank you and don't ask for anything, or send a virtual postcard of our today screens we made and don't pressure him. He's done so much and all for free.

Maybe Eitel, or who ever owns this site, can help arrange a way to accept donations for his work. Money is a sure way to any mans heart and he deserves what these people are willing to give.

Comments are welcome.

FYI, SRS has denied repeated attempts to offer to give home money.

[videonerd]

Perhaps this can be a Sourceforge project. I'm not a programmer, but there are tons of useful programs that are being made as an open source, collaborative effort? That is, indeed if srs is abandoning TodayPlus.

Maybe he'll surprise us and release v12 the day before v11 expires!

I am an occasional visitor and I had been trying out Journal Bar just before I found TD+ in pocketpcfreewares. I must say it's a fantastic program that is also well supported, thanks to you all; but I'm sure you all know that.
My point is this (TD+) is someone's baby and it's HIS decision to maintain it or not. IF he chooses NOT to then thank him for providing it to us in the first place and move on. Of course I hope srs is ok and that he's going to renew. But if not then THANK YOU srs for letting me know there was an alternative to Journal Bar and letting me use it. And to all you skinners and mods out there, I know I haven't said this before so A BIG THANK YOU to you all. Especially whoever did the Calenderplus thing!
Now please don't get upset now anyone.  

And by the way, my calenderplus stopped updating yesterday, no weather, no rss feeds, just my shortcuts. But again THANKS anyway.

Did you guys notice that Eitel has also not been around for a while?

[Eitel]

Hey, I'm here.  I just don't have anything new to add to what's already been said.

[fishboy]

BTW, just wanted to send out a thanks to Eitel for hosting the TodayPlus forum.  This site has been great, even if it does eventually follow TodayPlus into extinction (which I hope is not anytime soon).

[SpencerAR]

But I've been out of lurking for a while.

Why did SRS leave?  Assuming there is an official reason.  I'll take unofficial ones as well.

[Eitel]

For all we know, he hasn't left yet.  He's just MIA.
