I am a an independent Apple developer and have been approached by Carbery to create a 'Smallholders Guide To Pig Keeping' app - sponsored by Carbery.

I have sourced most of the info required from various websites to create a nice guide, breed info etc.  Just wondering if this is something you guys would be interested in and if you had any feature requests for the app?

Sounds good to me!

How about one for  chicken keeping - bet there's a lot more chicken keepers than pig ones.

[craiglockwood]

Already on that....  And a sheep one!

[HappyHippy]

Okay, I'm a numpty  (and don't have an i-phone ) how does it work exactly ?
Is it like a game ? or a how-to guide with reminders for feeding, cleaning out, injections ? That kind of thing ? I think it sounds a good idea in theory, but don't totally understand it

Will it be a paid app or free?

As a smallholder/software developer and iphone owner, I'd be interested in this - happy to have a chat or beta test if required.

[craiglockwood]

Paid app (£1.19). I have to make a living.

HappyHippy - it will be like an interactive book, with updated news, video guides and a full breed list with pics & descriptions.

Benkt - Great, I will send you through a beta once completed. It will install via iTunes along with a provisioning certificate.

Ive been working on a peice of software for Smallholders the past year "Smallholder Servant currently in 1.1 and nearing Beta. If I ever get it finished and if I'm honest thats an if; I may be in touch for an app version. Certainly interested in the pig app.

Will be very interested to see the main topics etc. Pigs have a wide spectrum of purpose as well as breeds, unless your a pig farmer I'm guessing most would be rare breed, some would be rearing whilst some would simply be fattening. Very interested to see how it comes out.

Very best of luck with it.

Dont even have a working mobile.

[Hairy Hogs]

PLEASE..............No One take offence to this....................BUT....................as a middle aged, grumpy old man........................for God's sake, keep real ones!  Their batteriese dont go flat after 4 hours, they respond well when dropped in shite, they dont mind a bit of water on them, theyre big enough to actually see, you cant loose them, and more importantly they dont need updating every bloody month!!


Before you know there will be 'Ipig', the all new virtual reality pig keeping game........grow your own bacon from your bedroom!  Did life just pass me by or something?!?!?!

OOOOPS, I gues having a website is a bit 'Techie'?

[Fowgill Farm]

Well here's a new problem for you techies to help with.
last night i went to give Clover our newly weaned mum a cuddle as she was upset at leaving her babies, unbeknown to me my mobile fell out of my pocket!
I went in this morning and found it crunched beyond belief (a Nokia) , retrieved the sim card and put it in new phone (it was issued when renewed contract but hated it and never used til now, really loved my old one!) and it only has stuff on it up to 2009 which means i've lost 2yrs worth of phone numbers, photos etc. There is no life whatsoever in the crunched one, even tried connecting it to my computer as battery is still intact but no reaction from it.
Any suggestions as to how i retrieve my info or is it hopeless?
Help!

Hmmmm sorry to say its most likely lost! Unless the phone is actually smashed to peices (in which case pretty much no hope) id just leave it to dry sumwhere warm'ish with the battery out for a few days then try putting battery back in and try again. The pics were prob stored on the phone but check theres not a memory card in the phone, might be in a slot under the battery or around the outside of the phone sumwhere, pics are most likely on it if there is one.

If after that still nothing then take it into the phone shop o2, vodaphone etc. whoever your with and get them to look and they will let you know if theres any hope at all.

Ive broken phones in the past and not been able to get stuff back so know how annoying it is.

[oaklandspigs]

'fraid to say that Joe11 is correct, you have two storage places, the phones memory and the sim card, and looks like all your stuff was on the phone, as he suggests let it dry, but suspect it has gone !
