Verified On Twitter

I bet I'm not the only one that has sat and thought how crazy your notifications on Twitter must go if you're being followed by millions of people (i.e; Gaga, Perry, Bieber, 1D, etc.), not only that, but how would you see, let's say, a tweet from a radio DJ amongst the thousands that're bombarding you at any one time?

dhConverter 1.0 (Android)

After a week of faffing around, I am now proud to announce my first ever Android Application!

It's called dhConverter, dh for me (Dale Hay) and Converter because that's what it does, it converts. What does it convert you ask? Well it converts various different types of temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit or maybe even Rankine or Kelvin. Also you can convert various methods of Weight, Length, Area, Capacity and Volume.

At the moment the application isn't available on the Android Market due to the fact that it costs $25 to put it on there. (I know, I thought it... [read more]
