Jokes [v1.0a][NRR]

mapara · 06/30/2009, 02:06 AM

If you're still on 1.0.3, here's my Jokes 1.0 app.

There's no "next" button, you have to close the app and run it again if you want to see another joke. But hey, it's called "Joke of the day" for a reason!

I'm working on better version ATM.

installed on emulator. runs well. good job, awesomely horrible jokes. :P

Haha very nice! Just installed on emulator, will try it on the Pre in a minute. Looks good for a 1.0. Suggestions? Aside from "Next Joke", perhaps a button or something for the punchline (like in the Palm UIWidgets app, the "Error Dialog" button if you can put the punchline in the text there. Or, that may be stupid. I don't know. Just thinking of stuff. But great start! How many jokes are there (if you're willing to say)?

Haha, yeah, you should make it go to the background and let the Pre make lame jokes in the notification dashboard all day.

Anyway, did you just ask the precentral guys to give you xs over here via the contact form? I'm still waiting to post my app. Tick, tock, tick, tock......

Hmmm, gota say that the first two jokes that came up for me were racist jokes about Mexicans. Interesting idea for a homebrew application, bad choice of content for the application.

I opened up the app and it greets me with "The iPhone is so much better than the Palm Pre." I almost spit coke all over my keyboard.

For some reason, I can't open the Palm Emulator, although I'm able to use the add apps after i've been updated (1.0.4). Why is that?

Try Separating the Joke from the answer....

Q: How many push ups can Chuck Norris do?
A: Chuck Norris doesn't do push ups. When he pushes, the world moves down.

OOOH YA!

groovdafied · 07/07/2009, 08:24 PM

How about a Word Of The Day app? That would be nice.

Hey good idea, i have been sitting here for the past few days thinking about something to make, and you have inspired me, even more that i use a site for the word of the day trying to expand my vocab.

phillipah · 07/13/2009, 08:04 PM

snafu168 · 07/17/2009, 02:20 PM

Not bad. Thanks.

jtiis · 07/18/2009, 01:20 PM

I've not installed the app yet. Can the user add their own jokes?

Nickinaround · 07/18/2009, 02:22 PM

There are some good jokes in there. I can't help but ask about your profile pic. What app is that from ? Thanks!
