Shop Closed!
Access to the Shop has been disabled, previous purchases will still be honoured, so Remove Ads will still work.
The main reason for closing the shop is that Google do not handle the VAT/Tax for each purchase, its up to me. Since there are over 200 Countries and 50 US States, that is a lot of paperwork!
Thanks to people who have made purchases, a lot of programming and testing went into the shop so your purchases were much appreciated.

Breaking Bad Top Ten Best Moments
Breaking Bad went out with an amazing finale where Walter got back up on his horse to finish business. Here are my top ten best moments of Breaking Bad.
#1 This ain't meth!
Walter confronting the pyscho Tuco in his heavily guarded drugs den, what was he thinking? BOOM! The bag of meth was mercury fulminate. So typical of this well written show where clever thinking and science gets Walt and Jesse out of so much trouble.
#2 You need a 'Criminal' lawyer
The entire episode in season 2 where we first meet Saul.
"Which is which?" Saul asks Badger and the young cop as he barges in the the police interview room. Then Saul gets Badger mixed up with a guy on public masturbation charges.
#3 The Wendy Song
One of the charms of Breaking Bad was the shows quirkiness, particularly in the opening scenes. Also did you notice the nod to Airplane's 'The white zone is for loading and unloading' when Walt is being dropped off at the Airport?

#4 El Paso by Marty Robbins
Out pops a Marty Robbins cassette as Walt steals a car to head back to the badlands of Albuquerque to see Skyler (Felina). The episode kinda follows plot in El Paso, Walt is even shot in his side.
#5 Walt lets Jane die
The scene where Walt watches Jane choke on her own vomit and does nothing to save her is shocking. Walt becomes eviller with each episode.
#6 The Tortoise
Danny Trejo didn't last long, his head soon found its way on top of a booby trapped tortoise.

#7 F*** You and Your Eyebrows!
Walt losing it with his hirsute car wash boss in the first episode.
#8 Hank's Heart Palpitations
Hank appears to be having a heart attack in the lift but recovers when the doors open, out he comes with his usual smiling bravado, 'Lets get a beer Gomey!'
#9 Jesse falling into the Portaloo
Jesse was really having a bad day, to cap it off he crashes through the roof of a Portaloo and ends up covered in blue bleach.
#10 Gail's Klingon Song
Check out Youtube for marketing video's about the show such as Gail's camp Klingon song and Badger appearing in a Better Call Saul ad, 'Gonna burn one with my Homies yo!'

Weight Recorder Release 1.08
A new release of the diet app Weight Recorder is now available from Google Play.
The report screen has been completely revamped for a more professional look. The statistics section has been streamlined to give a more concise report.
The chart screen now sports zoom buttons to make it easier to zoom in or out of your data, a third button resets the zoom. I've increased the chart axes font sizes by 2 points, as requested by Geoff Francis.
Bug Fixes
Tammi Kirlew reported strange trend predictions, dates around 1910 were being predicted for her target weight. Turns out this is down to something called the Year 2038 Problem which is similar to Y2K or Millenium bug. I've changed the string formatter which I use and now dates well past the year 3000 are OK! Thanks for the feedback Tammi.
When adding your daily weight the previous weight is stored so that you only need to adjust your weight slightly day to day. This stored weight is now converted correctly when you change the weight units.
Testing
The code has been completely revamped or refactored as programmers say. I split the user interface, data and logic code into separate parts. This allows me to write automated tests called unit tests for each little chunk of code. I spent several weeks doing this but the pay off is that I now have over 80 automated tests and the code is now easier to maintain.
What Happend to v1.07?
This release I put a lot more effort into testing, even checking the upgrade from 1.06 to 1.07 in various locales. Obviously I put the mockers on myself and released a corrupted binary to the Market. I still don't know why I created a corrupted binary, you just click a button in Eclipse and out it pops, but I should have double checked it. I've now put a release procedure in place to prevent this sort of thing happening in the future.
Many thanks to Jacques Block, James Rendek, Julia Clark and Christian Niemietz for quickly alerting me to the faulty binary. Apologies for any data loss caused, please let me know if you need help with data recovery.
Whats Next
Facebook integration is still on the cards. I didn't realize that you can actually export to GDrive and Evernote already which makes sharing data and back-up a doddle.
Priority will be putting an automated back-up system in place to prevent data loss. I'm thinking that the database should be saved to a file on the sd-card every week.
Best Regards
Pig Dog Bay
