iPhone App -- update

[STRAIGHT SHOOTER]

Has anyone found an iPhone app for six man football?

 

[justobserving]

Yea - I really wish the "Corn Cob Hat Guy" would get off his dawdling rear and get it done.

Just leaves us poor little guys out here dangling'.

Surely there is TIME for him to SQUEEZE that in somewhere. snicker - chuckle - chortle - snort - cough

Is there anybody out there who has enough knowledge to write and app or know someone who does ???

I'm sure if all the sixman fans who have iPhones would be willing to underwrite the costs of development someone could come up with an app.
Realistically the current "mobile friendly" page is sufficient.
As much as we would like to have a really neat whiz-bang app, the numbers are just not there unless you want to spend $$$ to purchase it.
Maybe you could get a PBCP manufacturer to sponsor this..............

Funny you should ask... there are some guys who wanted to post on here about an app for scores, but I found the thing to be difficult if you were looking for say ANY six-man scores, as to a specific team....

There was some old code that converted the BB to mobile device but it some been expunged from the Internet somehow... that used to be nice...

I am actually taking a computer science programming course to get myself up to date...one of the beauties of my new job is I get free tuition for one course a semester, and I am not really thinking I need to pursue a long term masters as I approach 5-0. In the process, I have rethought the whole app thing. I may make it my project next semester.

you know when the last course you took dealt with punch cards (guys like OBK and JO are old enough to know what I mean), you may need a refresher

Oh and there will be no more complaining from me, my new iPhone 5 just arrived and is updating.... I think.

 

[justobserving]

Am I the only one still using punch cards … ??

 

[granger]

It's getting harder and harder to get that punch card converter for your AirBook I bet

 

[smokeyjoe53]

I have upgraded to 12" floppies

 

[smokeyjoe53]

Maybe they are only 8"

I took a COBOL course in high school. I think I still have the punch cards from my 40-line program.

exactly...

First day of class, teacher asks in class who took 105? Only about 6 of the 80 say they didn't. One-by-one he asks what our experience is that we should be in the class... when I say the last courses I took were COBOL, FORTRAN and assembly language, the 20-year olds looked at me like I had twelve heads and he said, "you'll be just fine."

 

[rainjacktx]

You have me beat. I took BASIC and PASCAL. I changed majors before FORTRAN and assembly language. Where's my geritol?

Y'all are just pups. I go back to the first generation stuff. I wired "boards" or "panels" for the IBM 402 and 407. When the 1401 series came out we thought we had died and gone to heaven.

 

[smokeyjoe53]

I go back to the first abacus

 

[justobserving]

Remember pulling boards mounted on trays and physically rewiring jumpers and leads to get desired results. Big time stuff back then.....

Ahh the old 1401... 12k of magnets... a printer, 2 tapes and 4 pancakes pretty much displaced all the oxygen in our 20 x 30 ft room. Now when the 360 or uni 1100 came out now that was hi tech... now wiring those boards to collate or sort... now thats entertainment everyone should have the pleasure of even these days.

Dam_ • Some of you all is OLD GUYS !!

The 360 (we had 30's and 50's) was hi tech, you could run programs in more than one partition. BG (background), F1 (foreground1) and with the 50 (foreground2) F2. It was all downhill after that.

Ugh. COBOL/BASIC/APL. My only formal computer training ever. For a non mathematical person it was like beating my head against a brick wall. Just knew I was going to fail no matter how many times I read and re-read. Bless the people in the lab that I sometimes bugged in 5 minute intervals.

Once knew a entry level consumer electronics tech who tried to repair a cracked/broken board with JB Weld.
Suprisingly he didn't get fired. Actually became one fo the better "basic" techs & lasted several years.
But he never lived it down.

I can count on my fingers,
AND my toes!
