Hacking code like a drunk golfer!
It’s a pain in the arse having to type in all the access keys, secret keys and account ids into an iOS device…
So AWSome makes it easy… Using a regular computer, find that information before hand and then go here and enter in your information then email it to your device.
Then on your device, you simply click the link and boom, instantly added to your app.

We have submitted AWSome 1.3 to the app store in response to Apple’s new iOS 7 operating system update!
UPDATE!
App update is out now!
It’s minor but it does take advantage of the new swipe back table views and other UI elements.
An all new menu has been created that I think is a little more intuitive. A very simple drop down menu from the top.
Also, you can now use a custom app url scheme to add accounts to your AWSome account list. Just email yourself the scheme with the values and AWSome will open and add the account automatically. Here’s an example:
awsome://add?accountname=[THE NAME OF THE ACCOUNT]&accountkey=[THE ACCOUNT KEY]&secretkey=[THE ACCOUNT SECRET KEY]&isdefault=[true|false]&accountid=[THE ACCOUNT ID FOUND UNDER YOU NAME]
The Account ID is a special value that you find on the Security Credentials page of AWS
Once you email that app url scheme to yourself, open it up on the device where AWSome is installed and you will have the account added! Cool, eh?
Keep an eye out for the update!
I think I speak for all iOS developers when I made this image.
Success Kid App Store Approval meme. When you finally get that email that your app was approved for the app store.
Canvassmate is a multiplatform software application that is specifically designed for organizations that employ an outside sales force or canvassing team.
It’s got GREAT use to a variety of applications in a sales cycle or even political action and I hope you check it out.

Baseball Golf Scores was updated to 2.3. Updated for the 2013 season!
Cloud solutions are all the rage these days for web services. Cloud is really just a new fancy way for, uh, server not where i’m at. But there’s more to it than that.
Amazon has a great solution called AWS (Amazon Web Services) that allows for great flexibility to serving up information to customers.
Another thing Amazon has done is made their AWS open to an API. They have crafted multiple SDK libraries for various languages people develop in.
I decided to make use of their API to make a handy and useful iOS app. I called it AWSome. I know, I know… Awesome is spelled with an ‘e’ but that doesn’t work with my word play…. But this app is AWESOME!

Bah.
Pretty pumped. Gonna test my various apps on it and make sure they purr.
Baseball Golf Scores was updated to 1.1. This version allows for push notification to tell you what your favorites team is at when they start a new hole (every 9 games).
Also, new icon and launch screen.
Its a simple little process of breaking a long MLB season down into 18 holes. Each hole being “par 4″ (5-4 record). A 72 loss season (90 wins) is about right to get a team to the playoffs.
Now you can track your team on your iPhone using Baseball Golf Scores.
