Catfood Earth for Android 1.10 is now available for download. If you already have it installed you’ll get the update automatically (or run Google Play to check for updates).
1.10 adds settings that allow you to manually override the center of the image (rather than using your phone location), control transparency (for clouds and night) and adjust the width of the terminator between day and night.
Catfood Earth also starts faster and there are a number of small bug fixes.
I’ve just released a small update for Catfood WebCams. You should get this automatically through Google Play, or you can run Play Store on your phone or tablet and go to ‘My Apps’ to check for updates manually.
If you run Android and don’t have Catfood WebCams you can learn more here.
Catfood Earth is now available for Android phones and tablets.
The Android version of Catfood Earth is a live wallpaper that automatically centers on your current location. It includes current cloud cover (downloaded every three hours) and includes a different satellite image for each month (showing changes in vegetation and snow/ice cover) as well as showing city lights where it’s currently dark and shading the terminator between day and night.
Catfood Earth for Android is based on my Windows desktop wallpaper of the same name, optimized for smaller screens and to limit power consumption on mobile devices.
Buy it now for just $3.99 from Google Play. Catfood Earth for Android supports Android 2.2 and up.
The entire contents of the Catfood WebCam Directory are now available in an Android app. Each cam can be fully controlled. Tap the edges of the image to pan around and pinch the screen to zoom in and out. You can also share the current snapshot.
Download Catfood WebCams from Google Play (all devices with 2.2 or later and a touch screen are supported) and let me know what you think via email or in the comments below.
In honor of the imminent spawning of my own new process I've published a contraction timer for Android.
After looking at the available options I found everything to be too basic, or too complicated. Also, I've been looking for an excuse to knock up my first Android App having recently migrated from Windows Mobile.
