			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest versions of Gas Log and Gas Log Pro are now available on the Android Market.</p>
<p>The update adds two new features: import and export. You can now export your log as a <a class="external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values">CSV</a> file to the SD card. From there, you can pull it off your SD card and save it as a backup, or use any spreadsheet tool, like Excel, and do whatever your heart desires with the data.</p>
<p>Importing has also been added, which should make switching to the paid version of Gas Log simple&#8212;just export the log from the free version and import it into Gas Log Pro.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/gaslog_import_export.png"><img class="figure-c" src="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/thumbnails/gaslog_import_export.png" alt="Screenshot of Gas Log's Import/Export feature."></a></p>
<p>So far, the free and paid versions have been the same (except that the free version is ad-supported). Going forward, that&#8217;s going to change. The free version will still get bug fixes and features, but the paid version will get all that plus some extra nice features. For example, that three digit precision that users have been asking for, more statistics, and maybe even <a class="external" href="http://www.fuelly.com">Fuelly</a> support.</p>
<p>Get it now.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been working on some tools to make my life easier once <a class="external" href="http://www.shokii.com">Shokii</a> comes out of private beta. This is one I made Friday morning (before lunch, yay) to help me keep track of whatever support calls I get. I figured even though it&#8217;s pretty simple, it might be useful to other small businesses, so I&#8217;m putting it out as free, open source software with a business-friendly <a class="external" href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php">MIT license</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <a class="external" href="http://www.shokii.com/support_dashboard/">Support Dashboard</a> and it makes it easy for small businesses to track and view their support calls.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need an account on <a class="external" href="http://www.twilio.com">Twilio</a> for it to work. Hopefully, that won&#8217;t be too much of a problem for people.</p>
<p>You can read all about it and download it at <a class="external" href="http://www.shokii.com/support_dashboard/">http://www.shokii.com/support_dashboard/</a>. For all you developers, the source code is up on <a class="external" href="http://github.com/rahims/Support-Dashboard">github</a>.</p>

<p>Based on user feedback, 1.0.5 replaces the &#8220;average total cost&#8221; statistic in the rotated graph view with the &#8220;average price per gallon.&#8221;</p>

<p>Note: there was a version jump from 1.0.3 to 1.0.5 because 1.0.4 contained a minor bug that I quickly fixed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m just over a month late in blogging about this, but my first Android application is out and available for download in the Android Market. I&#8217;ve written a few apps for Android, but this is the first to actually be released to the general public.</p>
<p>Say hello to Gas Log, the fantastically simple way to track your car&#8217;s fill-ups.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/gaslog_main.png"><img class="figure-c" src="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/thumbnails/gaslog_main.png" alt="Screenshot of Gas Log's main screen." /></a></p>
<p>Gas Log is simple by design and features a completely customized UI. There are similar apps on the Android Market that do much more, but Gas Log separates itself by doing a few things really well and not overwhelming the user with a noisy array of bells, whistles, and mostly ignored statistics. It&#8217;s apparent in the little details, like the custom numeric keypad that makes entering a new fill-up fast.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/gaslog_entry.png"><img class="figure-c" src="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/thumbnails/gaslog_entry.png" alt="Screenshot of Gas Log's entry screen." /></a></p>
<p>Or a beautiful graph that appears when you rotate your phone, showing you only the information you really care about.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/gaslog_graph.png"><img class="figure-c" src="http://www.hirahim.com/projects/gaslog/images/thumbnails/gaslog_graph.png" alt="Screenshot of Gas Log's graph screen." /></a></p>
<p>Gas Log is out now and is currently free (ad-supported). An ad-free paid version will be out soon, and will include useful additions like easy backups of your data.</p>
<p>Search the Android Market for &#8220;Gas Log&#8221; or scan the handy QR code below.</p>
