Another Hobby Project

On my first day in my engineering college, I manage to gather a little bit of attention with my unusual hobby. I remember Mr. SB, Math's Lecturer was taking introduction. One by one, students were telling their hobbies ranging from playing crickets, music to reading. I said programming is my hobby. Happily eight years since then, I still manage to preserve it.

So I am working on a very minor project since last Friday, which I will possibly release free in AppStore, to revise my iPhone skills. The last I had done anything in it was, BoatMania in Cocos2D. And Boy, the SDK is quite mature now.

The application will find your location from your external IP address, or GPS, and allow you to send it to anyone with SMS or Email. As a bonus, you can also give any hostname or IP and it will give its location details. The application is ready now, except the About screen and for me to download 3.5GB iOS 4.2 SDK, as in-app SMS is supported only after 4.0.

Here are some screenshots for your viewing pleasure:

The most difficult part was getting Table View inside Navigation Controller, inside Tab Bar. I am glad now we have programmers who will find doing stuffs like this piece of cake. For me, it was a reviving time, which is, what the hobbies are all about.
