We took a few days off from DM’s Tracker updates and cranked out a silly little random name generator. If you guys like it we’ll be happy to put more time into it. We are likely to expand the name database a little. Anyway, we hope you like it – we had a blast making it!

The iphone is really fun to develop on and as I tweak the name database I think the our naming app will become better and better. We’re keeping the price at .99 on this one, but if there is enough interest I’m sure we’ll be happy to polish and add more to this one.

Take a look at it over at bit.ly/1VW7gR.

Ok, I feel a little more free to talk about our first application now.

So we’ve released a little app called “Artcharts Astrology 2009″ out into the wild. We have no idea how long it will take Apple to get back to us with approval on our billing information or our app approval. So let’s talk about the application itsself. It is a very basic daily “what’s up in the sky” app. It pulls in local data from some xml files and shows you what’s currently happening in the sky. Then it allows you to drill down into an interpretation to see what those bits mean for you and yours.

Up the road we want to add in some search functionality and listen closely to feed back from our users. We decided to take the launch early and launch often approach to this first development project.

I’ve been working on a few different apps since November of 2008 and today was a huge milestone for us both. We could not be prouder of where we are today. Plus we can’t wait to show you what’s next. If you are a RPG’er who enjoys using electronic tools to get your geek on at the table then you are going to be very pleased with what’s next.

Oh, and you may have seen via the twitter update, but Apple has approved KBAR Apps and so we take the next step towards submitting our first application. It’s a very exciting time for us all. I’ll try to keep you updated as we move forward.
