Last week I said there would be some downtime as I do some upgrades to the website, as well as some design changes and updates – fixing broken links, outdated information, etc. I’m slightly behind – work I was doing on another website slowed me down.<\/p>\n
If you want an idea of what it’s going to resemble (albeit different color scheme), you can check out MacGenealogy.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n The good news is the “Behind the scenes work” is finished. I also have Google Android devices so I can finally get into the Google Android genealogy scene. I’ll be doing a lot more coverage of iOS software as well.<\/p>\n Now I just have a few things left:<\/strong> Just to give you an idea of the devices I have access to: I really want to pick up a Kindle Fire, but I can’t really justify it. I’ve held off on an Android device for a while, because I didn’t like the market fragmentation and OS fragmentation, didn’t like that some companies were slapping their own UI and software on their devices, and for a few other reasons. A Motorola executive even blamed Google (GottaBeMobile)<\/a>, saying that it was difficult for manufacturers to keep up with the latest Android OS releases because of Google’s practices.<\/p>\n Even though I lean towards the Apple ecosystem, I’m not tied to it – I’ve always tried to stay relatively platform neutral, especially for genealogy reasons. I share information with other members of my family, and it’s a wide range of OSes and applications that they use.<\/p>\n I broke down and picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7-inch device, because I already have a 10-inch device with the iPad, and I have an iPhone. I really wanted an in-between device with good specifications. It was also important that Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, be available for it, which is another reason why I waited.<\/p>\n Anyways, I’m hoping to have the site work wrapped up later this weekend, and if you see anything weird, you may need to refresh your browser once or twice.<\/p>\n Mobile users will finally have a truly mobile version of MobileGenealogy.com as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week I said there would be some downtime as I do some upgrades to the website, as well as some design changes and updates – fixing broken links, outdated information, etc. I’m slightly behind – work I was doing on another website slowed me down.
