Thoughts on Programing Paradigms

It's been a while since I have posted here. That doesn't mean I am inactive. iGreekNews needed an update, and my full day job is also taking me too much time. I have no regrets, however. This amount of work comes with a great amount of knowledge.

taxiplon a Global Mobile Awards Finalist

I am happy to announce that a project I am taking part to, taxiplon is now a Global Mobile Awards 2012 nominee in the category of Best Mobile Innovation for Automotive, Transport or Utilities.

You can read all about the competition here: http://www.globalmobileawards.com/awards2012/nominees.php . In there you can find other nominees in other categories, too.

The new taxiplon platform offers a wealth of information for the taxi driver and the taxi company, along with access to a new customer base that is constantly evolving. You can visit taxiplon's website at http://www.taxiplon.com/ .

GCD, NSOperation and Core Data/ Files on disk

Core data is fast, even on iOS, where handheld devices lack in speed when compared to desktop computers. However, there will be times where you will be required to do some heavy reading, wether that will be plain files from disk or information stored in Core Data. In my case, I initially tried to load too much data from a Core Data database using GCD, resulting in deadlocks, and later, I tried that using NSOperation. To save many people from frustration, I thought I should post my experiences and some general guidelines here.

Blog moved in the main site

It was about time that happened. I have decided to move the blog component (at least the important part of it which is mainly written in english) into the main site. The "Blog" option in the top menu will no longer redirect to blog.oramind.com . It will now redirect to http://oramind.com/index.php/orablog which will now hold the latest updates.

taxiplon

Lately, I have been involved in a project called taxiplon.

taxiplon stands as a platform for taxi traffic, aimed at both taxi drivers and passengers. For taxi drivers, it provides them with an interface for acquiring all sorts of useful information about their shift, such as ship and airplane arrival times, pharmacies and hospitals open, etc.

For passengers, it gives them the ability to call a taxi just by pressing a button and selecting their pickup location. They can also see the driver approaching them, call him, and rate him. It also features a point system (as of version 1.1), and appointments with a driver of your choice.

taxiplon passenger application is compatible with iOS and Android. You can see more information here.

It costs absolutely nothing to download, and there are no extra charges for the passenger when making a call. A live demo is included. I suggest the next time you call for a taxi you use taxiplon. The more passengers are using the application, the more drivers taxiplon will be able to support.

And, remember, constuctive critisism and feedback are always welcome!
