Any new years resolutions?

(and I don't mean 2560x1440)!!!

Personally, I'm planning to update all my existing games to be compliant with the latest google play policies for target version, Fix any outstanding bugs and ensure ads are all working as intended in them.

I then plan to release 3 new games, all retro based, using the LibGDX library.

That's my B4A goals for 2025. Not big, but I'm full time working father of two.....

My goal for 2025 is to build up a stable side income with B4X. I took the necessary steps this year with the introduction of Lognote Premium and CleanTasks Premium.

The same for 3Things and EasyPlate 2025.

Apart from that, my goal is to professionalize myself further and implement more standards in my AS_Views, such as the dark/light themes. Build more views that save time when developing apps that have similar functionalities such as settings, feature requests, version history and so on.

Supabase and Pocketbase will be a topic next year, let's see what happens

Privately I would like to travel again in 2025, so far Iceland is planned, but this time a complete road trip.
I started my glider pilot's license (SPL) in November, which will dominate my weekends, but I'm looking forward to it

Yesterday I had an idea for a new project. Eventually a B4A/B4J-thing for a programmer searching for a new task.
Had anybody already the idea for an intelligent kind of "COOKIE-KILLER" for Windows? It is so frustrating to protect the Mobile and the Windows-PC against unwanted cookies...
You will know the problem. Every website wants to protect your personal data and you are allowed to deselect hundreds of cookies that only serve to spy on your surfing behaviour. If you don't care, ok, an ACCEPT ALL button is always there, the REJECT ALL button never is. And even if you don't accept the cookies, there is still the back door with the legal interest. Always well hidden. It's time for intelligent software that puts a stop to this; the EU data protection regulations are pretty much undermined by lobbyists at this point. I think it will look similar in other countries. Maybe not the right place here, I just remembered.

Almost the same as you!
Update my games, as I have them abandoned, update ads, admob, google play policies and that stuff.
Release 2 new big games (mini arcade and bubble). I am very excited as I think both can work very well

Try to get the company registered on Dunns, Google and anywhere else that might be more friendly even if less lucrative.
Finish the house/farm projects so I can get back to more time in B4X and "gainful" development.
Figure out how @Star-Dust does it - and webapp stuff (generally and with that guidance).

Keep up with the best of humanity here on the forum.

finally shed the anxieties of converting entirely to solar energy (as in the whole farm).

emerge from 1929.

Make sure the Group-W Bench is productive....being a nuisance....

Try to make it to 2026!!!

I will do my best to drink more coffee.

2025 coming fast...
Our Greek IT union for developers is ready, so now I hope find some time for my projects.and..B4X Open Source Software...projects..

Some guys waiting, some guys left from B.O.S.S.

- For sure, i want to create a B4X site for Greek developers.
- an invoicer software that... will be compatible with Greek laws.
- the b4xdesigner also waits, and is something that will help me a lot at other softwares....

Hmm what I really want ? Time and be healthy.... nothing more...

Nice! I have 5kw of solar panels and 9.6kwh of storage at home. But can't convert fully to solar as I'm in the UK. So solar energy is virtually non existent from November to February.

Don't do it, forget it. You're not a bird!
Too many accidents with small planes with only one engine, let alone without!
Avoid it. It's stupid and useless.

Northern Europe is targeting mainly for wind generators. I do not believe though that it is feasible for a home. Maybe a bunch of homes...

 

[andymc]

I'm saving about £1200 a year with panels, the cost was 12k, so it's a ten year payback right now. Which is fine, they've got a 25 year life expectancy and I'm staying kin the house. So all good.

OI...I'm sure we can find a nice sunny property for you to live on here.

Our big challenge is pumping up a 90m head and then the days when we have to switch to diesel for a few hours.....

targeting mainly for wind generators.

I recently saw an article which had a wind generator (I've seen it before as a new tech. "blade" on the top) claiming 1500w output - a coupe of those and you're away - just like a @BlueVision challenge........

I'm saving about £1200 a year with panels

Be nicer if I could quantify a saving - the BIG down side is that the capital investment income has gone negative hence clubbing the saving - in many way the saving is a myth unless you can put money back into the capital account again - which is your advantage in UK you can get money back by pushing into the grid. Here the utility wants to charge one to be grid tied - again - negating any "earnings" from feeding back and etc...

HECK
how did we get on this redirected topic - I guess the AI made a choice from the binary tree.....

this is the type I saw {but many others of course}
