From 3:00pm to around now? 11:00pm we have tried to make it work. IE doesn't like Dojo (used by like millions of websites) and IE doesn't like jquery (also used by tons of websites)... mmmhh should we change the ajax libraries? don't think so, mister.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q0CIIfvYzA4&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q0CIIfvYzA4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />So we said: ok, let's use the debugger that comes with IE. Our first impression was: ok, this is harder than doing research for NASA (which we actually do...) so we just gave up... sorry folks, for now IE will not be supported by Akibot. Maybe in a couple of weeks when we feel bored again, but for now we're adding many features to Akibot which we feel is more important than clicking "close" on IE and double clicking on Safari, Chrome, Firefox or anything else.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/455261866042652352-5661380097589805765?l=akibot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dev Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06505427120814371855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455261866042652352.post-33040837510690680642009-08-14T16:13:00.001-07:002009-08-14T16:14:32.368-07:00Thanks to all our beta testers, we have incorporated many many interface improvements, which will be live on Monday.

We're just doing some last tests on the text messaging part (I found it very useful) and we will be ready! Expect some emails tonight.<br /><br />I am impressed on what bloggers and tech fans alike are writing about Akibot. We're very excited that our concept is reaching the masses and in general with very good response... One example is this article written by <a href="http://www.watblog.com/2009/07/21/an-enterprise-app-that-enterprises-should-really-watch-out-for-welcome-akibot/">Maneesh Madambath from WatBlog.com</a> (thank you Maneesh!).<br /><br />Stay tuned<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/455261866042652352-6834873896884447125?l=akibot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dev Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06505427120814371855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455261866042652352.post-80034149171257740492009-07-20T21:17:00.000-07:002009-07-20T21:20:04.644-07:00We have received an overwhelming amount of requests for private beta testing... that's good, sounds like there is interest in Akibot.

So far it seems quite easy and responsive, this might be the one we use for Akibot alerts (schedule reminders) and to post messages from users cell phones.<br />The catch is: they only allow you to send 120 characters, and they save 40 for advertising. Clever idea, let's see if it works out well with Akibot.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/455261866042652352-8450552354039516272?l=akibot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dev Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06505427120814371855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455261866042652352.post-70351560832845540212009-07-17T11:44:00.001-07:002009-07-17T11:49:24.869-07:00Ha!
