I’m happy to say Power Schedule has more than 10000 active users. That’s a small town using it. I know it’s nothing comparable to > millions other apps have, but it’s a great milestone for me. It even motivates me to continue working on it (I know, I’ve bene quite lazy lately) 
Thank you all.
Yes, finally that time of year has come
Tomorrow we’re heading for Sardegna, supposedly one of the best Italian destinations – where all the stars go. No, we’re not playing in their league, we just got a very good deal on accommodation. So I guess we have a good chance of having a coffee with Heidi Klum and the likes
See you when I’m back (29.08) with a surprise 
.
P.S. I can’t wait to dive again. Yay!
One of the users wrote me an e-mail that after uninstalling Power Schedule, when he turned on Airplane Mode, WiFi was still enabled. This is because Power Schedule (and others) change this setting to allow individual control over WiFi, Bluetooth and Telephony. Since the application being uninstalled is not notified it’s being uninstalled, it has no chance of cleaning up (and restoring previous settings). This is how Android is designed (a bit of a flaw, in my opinion – on Windows Mobile an application was notified before uninstall).
Anyway, I wrote a small app to restore the settings. Download and install it using Astro or whatever file manager you have on your device.
Here’s the link:

Yes, I’m back. Barcelona is easily the best city I’ve ever visited (not that I’ve been to that many anyway). It has it all: views, sea (+1), food, night life, history.
Plus, the weather was excelent. We’ve had around 24-26 degrees C (78 F), while back home in Timisoara, around 37 C (98 F). That doesn’t seem right, but anyway – great weather for walking around the city .
I hope I’ll be back soon. Plenty of things left to visit.
It’s been 42 degrees Celsius (Google says that’s 107.6 F) in Timisoara last weekend, so I couldn’t take it anymore. Tomorrow I’m heading for Barcelona, where AccuWeather says it’s around 27 C (80.6 F). Based on what I learned in school, these temperatures should be quite the opposite. Then again, weather’s changing.
Anyhow, the trip was not so spontaneous – I’ve bought the tickets back in May .
Wish me a nice holiday, please… I need a break from work
As you know I’ve been away for a few days – so the release date for Power Schedule 2 was shifted a bit. I’m also quite busy at work – so I don’t have the energy to work on it after I get home 
.
I made some progress last Sunday – I still have to write a help file, some hints, and design new High resolution icons. But the overall functionality is done
Yes, indeed. It happened a few days earlier than my predictions (I thought it would get to 10000 next Sunday – that’s why I said I’ll release Power Schedule 2.0 on the 5th of June).
Anyway, that release date still stands, as I still have a few things to work on.
Looking forward to Sunday
Thanks to all who “liked” Power Schedule on Facebook. Now you can find the official page at http://www.facebook.com/powerschedule. Check it for upcoming news and discussions.
I’m working hard for version 2 (which was basically rewritten), however I made this minor update (1.4), due to users complaining “Data Connection” doesn’t work on Gingerbread devices (see this article to understand why: Google is destroying Android). Basically, in 1.4 you will get a warning message when trying to access the Data Connection menu, with a link to the open issue at Google. Please star it to support developers (not just myself) – and not let Google create a(nother) precedent.
Thank you.
