Numen Mobile

jQuery Mobile
I found this awesome little development API called jQuery -- it's made my life a million times easier. One of the components of jQuery is called jQuery Mobile for building mobile websites.

What an amazing API! I completely rebuilt Numen Mobile in about 3 short days worth of coding. Not only does it look better, but it does way more stuff, and best of all is that it's compatible with many different devices. I've tested it on iPhone, iPad and a couple of different Android devices. Supposedly it also works on many different devices and in many different browsers (see a list of supported platforms).

Please feel free to check out Numen Mobile, bookmark it, and share it with people who might find it useful. Feedback is always welcome.

Numen Mobile

As usual, the semester is a busy time and I can't spend a lot of time making visible updates. However, as usual, I'm fixing problems in the background as they arise. Mostly what I fix this time of year are definitions as a result of spending a lot of time using Numen to read Latin.

That brings me to Numen Mobile, which I updated last night. I have been using it a lot lately for studying Latin, and I wanted to open it up to the rest of the world. If you visit Numen on a mobile device, you should notice a link at the top of the screen asking you to try the new mobile site. It's been tested to work on iOS and Android. It should work in any web browser reasonably well equipped with Javascript, Cookies, DOM, etc. [e.g., technical mumbo jumbo! read: the lastest and greatest].

If you have an iOS phone, you should be presented with a link that tells you about turning Numen Mobile into a free app on your phone. Just add it to your home screen (shiny new icon and all!) and you'll find that version works really well (provided you have a stable internet connection).

That's it for now. I'm always plodding away, so if it seems like things are dead around here, they're not!
