I just bought an sp3. Got the i5 128gb model with keyboard and pen listed as like new on amazon for $780. Tracking says I'll get it on Saturday. Can't wait :)

I think the most fun part about working on this app so far is the equation editor. It was a real headache working on the initial javascript code and trying to make it play nicely with the c# and c++ that's behind this app. But once the technical part works, fine tuning it has been pretty fun...

Actually, it really will be mostly for work. I don't play games. I'll be spending half my time working on some projects for my day job (I'm an engineer) and the other half working on my apps for the windows store. I've been using an old Toshiba from like 2007 or so. I've replaced the...

I've been drooling for a sp3 for month, mostly for work and to replace my old 2007 laptop. Well, today, I finally took the plunge. Thanks a lot, guys. I am now $780 poorer. Bought an i5 set with keyboard like new on amazon.

The waterproof, super strong Sony tablets haven't made any headline at all.

You need to get vs 2013 express. It is free. There may be some who will tell you anything less than the most expensive is lacking. I assure you it is perfectly adequate for you. Do a search for modern word processor in the windows store. Play around with the trial. 95% of it was written with...

Ok, this morning I sent in another packet. This time I present it as a business. The packet includes everything from business model to gross profit and whatnot. Even included nice graphs. If she still doesn't take this, I will just put down I got this revenue stream by selling drugs to...

I am applying for a mortgage to by a new house. The house's price is way way way below what I can afford. Aside from my income from my day job, I also have an income from my mobile apps. I have some published on android and windows. The underwriter wanted me to explain what these incomes...

LOL

Haha, oh. I thought MS has gone off the deep end and created a cable TV channel for the surface. Hey don't laugh at the idea. People used to laugh at the idea of a 24 hour golf channel... before they actually created a 24 hour golf channel.

There's a surface channel?

Another update :D Just sent in an update to do a few more things. 2 specific things I want to bring up. 2 of the most common questions I keep getting in my email are: (1) Can my app delete saved files and (2) can my app email a document? Up until tonight, my answers have been (1) no, you...

It's not really a problem or difficulty. In fact, it shouldn't even be an issue as most computers these days have way more memory than they need most of the time. The problem was purely artificial due to my own experiment. One of the goals I've set for myself is trying to be a minimalist with...

A little update. Thanks to a 1 star review, I was made aware of a bug that made the app not able to open very long documents. We're talking about something like 20 pages long. It was simply a matter of memory allocation. I have that fixed. So, the app now is capable of opening very large...

I'm sure my fellow devs are aware that pretty much everything related to MS app store for devs is broken. Financial summary - broken Daily app buy stats - broken Daily download stats - broken Daily revenue generated by app(s) - broken Not only that, the app certification process is a hit and...

Hehe reminds me of a thread on an android forum I came across once. The OP told us he had just bought windows 7 license and downloaded windows 7. He now had an asus infinity (android device) and he needed us to tell him how to install windows 7 on it. When we told him this couldn't be done...

Thought you'd like to know that I just added in a subroutine to render the plain text correctly. It's not a blob of text anymore LOL. Will send out update right now actually.

No library and no api call. I wish it was that simple... I just found the damn bug. 2 lines of code in the wrong order... As far as your txt thing goes, I'll fix that later tonight. Now, I gotta send out an emergency patch for all the doc and docx users out there. Edit. Regarding the...

Haha, it's my first try at translating html, doc, docx, and rtf to txt. The bug I'm referring to is opening doc and docx file. It's just giving a blank page even though the file is not empty. Saving to the various formats work wonderfully. Saving to pdf works wonderfully. Opening rtf and...

Well, I'm in panic mode, too, because I just discovered a bug in my new update. Don't know how I missed it in my tests yesterday.
