July 2014 In Brief

7012. In Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 we succeeded in unlocking a connected Nokia Lumia device for local app deployment.

7023. In Visual Studio we created our first mobile application package, but it could not be deployed to the Lumia because it was targeted at WP8.1 while the device supported WP8.

7034. Installed the WP 8.0 SDK on Windows 8.1 (VSE 2012) and then opened the app we earlier created months ago with WP 7.1 SDK (VSE 2010).

7045. Achieved today one of our initial aims for installing Windows 8.1, being able to deploy our sample Windows Phone app (mini-browser for our website) to a Lumia device.

7163. Revised MBGL (our MoneyBooks General Ledger module) to make the manual account reconciliation much more easier and flexible to use, based on our experience of using it live days before.

7185. We got registered at VConnect.com.

7222. Began revising the online help for MBGL.

7244. Our Facebook page got created. There is another empty page bearing our name “Microsoftware Research Ltd” (without the comma) but we are not certain how it got created or who was responsible.

7292. Uploaded the rest of the first batch of images to our Facebook page, revised the About text then previewed the page in another browser, Internet Explorer rather than SeaMonkey.
