As time goes on, so shall I. As I currently have a domain of my own www.joeledlund.se I thought it’s time to move the homerQuotes webpage to that adress. So I did.
New adress: homerquotes.joeledlund.se
Enjoy!
Summer is here!
June 8, 2007 - 7 Responses
Hi everybody!
Sorry about the lack of updates the last few months, it’s been realy hectic at the University this semester. Two days ago my summer break started, so now I have all the time in the world!… But unfortuently not sufficant of an Internet provider… I’m spending my summer in “the outbacks” of sweden, and without Internet it’s kind of hard to do much on the widget. I will do my best, so please be patient! :)
So far, the copy-quote-to-clipboard-function has brought me alot of problems, working sometime but not always. There are now seven, thats right, count them if you want, seven different homers presenting the quotes. He will not be animated or joined by any of his family members… Ever…
Hope to see you all soon. Have a freakin’ nice summer, I know I will!
Love and kisses!
In the making: version 1.3

Hi!
I’m currently working on the next version of homerQuotes. There has been
some problems getting the freaking preferences to save but I hope to have
a solution soon. I want to thank all of you who gives me suggestions on
features and such, it helps!
Here are the new features in 1.3 (hopefully)
- More different homers, totaly seven of him
- The choosen homer is saved and reappears after a reboot
- A copy function (if I find a nice way to include it in the graphics)
Some things will NOT be in the next version. Some people has asked me to
add Bart, Lisa, Marge, etc. quotes to the widget. This will NEVER happen
in the HOMERquotes-widget. This is because the HOMERquotes-widget
only consists of quotes from HOMER. Maybe someday all make a
simpsonsQuotes-widget, but this will be far in the future.
I’ve got some graphics e-mailed to me, with suggestions on new homers to
display, unfortently most of theese has been of to low resulotion. If you’d
like to give me a tip or request on graphics, please send a LINK to a LARGE
image, at least 1024×768 on mail or as a comment.
Hope you don’t think I bitch too much, I really like to here what you have to say about the widget, and suggestions are always nice!
Stay tuned for the next version!

Thought I’d give you an update on what I’m working on right now.
The main feature for the next releas will be the ability to change the apperens of Homer in the widget. There are currently three different styles to choose from. I wont give them away at the moment, you will have to wait and se… :)
The problem I’m dealing with now is that the widget does’nt want to save the settings in the preferences-file… But I hope it will be solved soon!
A picture might be little hint on what it will look like…

Todo/wish list

These are some things that are planed/wanted for the next version of the widget.
If you have something you would like added, post a comment!
- MORE QUOTES!
- Dynamicly updated quote-list.
- Different Homers present the list.
- A more correct text-size scaling.
If only could find some time I’d deal with the list right away, but other stuff takes up too much time…
