Getting closer to my first app posting.

Go Back To SkyRooster.com

As you can see from the above link I have my website up and running.  I have my app ready for upload.  I'm now a registered Apple Developer (woot woot).  Apple won't post my app until I have a GST #.  I can't get that until I have a biz #.  I can't get that until my home occ approval from the town of Banff goes through.  The home occ approval process will be completed this Wed.  My biz is registered, but I can't get my license (biz #) until the home occ goes through.  The biz application has already been submitted.

In the meantime, I'm starting on the next app today.

Getting closer to finishing my first app.

So I have my first app almost completed.  It's written in HTML5/css/JavaScript.  Now it has to be converted to something that Apple will understand.  I'm using a company called PhoneGap by Cordova to make this conversion for me.  I registered as an Apple developer yesterday.  Still waiting on the final docs from the town re: biz license and home occ. permit.

If there's anyone who would like to help support the development of this app, please visit the following link:

Called Away, But Back Now

It's been a bit since my last posting, but it's been a busy week.  I was called away with little notice.  Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH) needed a chef to fill in for a heliskiing retreat.  The long days (before 6AM to after 10PM) didn't allow for me to do anything else in regards to my app development or blog updates.  It was a good experience overall, but I had to decline the request for more postings in order to continue my work here.

In the past week however, I did manage to get a favorable response from the Town of Banff on my request for a home occupation permit.  They just need to advertise it in the local paper for a couple of weeks and contact the neighbours to see if anyone has a problem with my venture.  I have officially registered my business as SkyRooster.  I have submitted my request for a business license with the Town.  Things seem to be going well so far.

I'm making some headway in the work environment department as well.  I have dug two non-functioning laptops out of storage and have received an offer to have both of them fixed for "free".  The only cost is that the person who's fixing them will get to keep one.  Fingers crossed for his success.
