The other hard part is figuring out what feels right on the wrist, that part I'm still figuring out.
Glad you found the location search feature, let me know if you think anything else would be cool.
I get the items using the GeoData extension of the MediaWiki API: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData
Sorry that it's not there yet, but hopefully we'll do a better job with a few more iterations and refinements.
The flight tracker idea is a good one, I'll look into it. Thanks!
I guess this is just what we get when we buy Apple products. They are damn good at making last year's awesome product look obsolete the next year.
I've spent many hours on other applications, mostly Mac, where the time spent making something backwards compatible was never really worth it. Example: I worked on getting fancy animations in an app that had to support Panther, which didn't even have NSAnimation support. However at this time Leopard had just came out and had all the new Core Animation hotness. Needless to say I would have saved countless hours if I didn't try back porting new features to older OSes no longer supported by Apple.
The same goes for the events/calendar panel. They are both using Apple's EventKit API.
The news panel supports RSS feeds and Twitter is a possible option in the future, I'll look into doing it.
If you're interested in participating or testing, head on over to http://code.google.com/p/scsh/
In addition to updating scsh, we're also working on getting MIT Scheme's Edwin editor to run on top of it. Which is over at https://github.com/scheme/edwin48
Thanks for those who watched online and those who came out to MIT! :-)
