iArmory v0.5a Released! (June 4th, 2008// 12:28pm)

My apologies for the lack of WoW-related posts recently, but I’ve been hard at work at implementing two of the most commonly requested features for iArmory: support for EU characters/realms, and a dropdown box to help you select your realm. I also fixed a minor bug that was slightly annoying. The full changelist:

• [ADDED] Added a dropdown box for realm selection
• [ADDED] Added support for EU characters/realms, and the option to select between the two in the Player Lookup screen
• [ADDED] Added a Changelog section which will list all changes made in each version
• [FIXED] Long professions such as “Jewelcrafting”, “Blacksmithing”, and “Leatherworking” will no longer overflow the input area

Thanks to all those who’ve been testing out iArmory for me and giving me their feedback. I’ve received some tremendous ideas and suggestions for what you’d like to see in iArmory, and they’re things I wouldn’t have thought of myself. Expect to see them added shortly.

If you own an iPhone or iPod Touch and would like to become a tester for me (give me feedback, or just play around with it), send me a quick note using the Contact page.

Wowhead Tooltips in Google Reader (June 3rd, 2008// 10:20am)

Have you ever read through a blog post (such as my own) in Google Reader and wished you could hover over the item links and see that familiar Wowhead tooltip? Well now you can, thanks to a fantastic Greasemonkey script! It’s a simple three step process:

1. First, get Greasemonkey if you don’t have it:
   https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
2. Now restart Firefox, then install this Greasemonkey script:
   http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/16762
3. Now right click the monkey in the bottom right of your browser, and click [Manage User Scripts]. In the left hand side you should see an item titled WowheadTooltips, click on it. Now click on [Add] twice over on the right side, and add the following URLs:
   http://www.google.com/reader/view/*
   https://www.google.com/reader/view/*

That’s it! Open Google Reader and enjoy, ;)

Test it out with the following items: One | Two | Three

iArmory - Need Testers (June 1st, 2008// 5:51pm)

UPDATE: This post is outdated! If you’d like to see the newest posts regarding WowiArmory (as well as the newest screenshots, please head to the WowiArmory category.

I’m currently developing a web interface for the WoW armory that’s optimized for an iPhone or iPT’s MobileSafari. I’m using the fantastic iUI for it, and it seems to be working great for me.

However, before I release it to the public, I’d like a few more people to test it, and give me ideas and suggestions for what they’d like to see added to the web app, or just what they like / don’t like.

If you play WoW, and own an iPhone and/or an iPod Touch and would like to help me out with testing the web app, please send me a shout! Just send me a quick note using the Contact page.

If you want to see how it looks before you’ve commit, I’ve attached a few screenshots below.

Also, I know a lot of WoW players (especially those who have iPhones or iPod Touches) don’t read my blog who would like this. If you could get the word out about this web app, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!
