There’s been stormy seas in the Bay of Plenty for the past few days. A quick walk along the beach yesterday was another reminder that all is not sweet on our beaches yet.
Large droplets and chunks of weathered oil and several dead birds were washed up. Additionally there were some large legs of meat that were bobbing around in the water and laying on the beach – not surprising there’s been a few sharks seen in the area lately. The oil sticks to everything, especially feet!
Continuing our quick break from wrangling bees, we also bumped Top Dog to v1.1. It now supports multi-tasking on iOS 4+ (finally!), uses DisplayLink on iOS 3+ for better performance and has a shiny Retina display icon.
Unfortunately, along the way we’ve dropped iOS 2.x support, so apologies to both of those users… the latest dev tools don’t seem to compile stuff that doesn’t crash when the app starts. Keep calm, though, as it still runs fine on our iOS 3.1.3 phone – the last five users still running that version are as sweet as us.
It’s currently in review and will be released as soon as it’s approved.
It’s available on the App Store now!
Go forth and herd 
We took a quick break from wrangling bees to sneak in a nice v1.1 update to AnimalBlocks for iPad. We’ve added four new letter blocksets, a bunch of backgrounds and a great snapshot feature to save creations to your iPad’s Photo Album.
It’s currently in review and will be released as soon as it’s approved.
It’s available on the App Store now! It’s also on sale for Xmas NZ$1.29/US99c.
Have fun
