JTA Bus Schedule WebOS App Changelog and Planned Updates
Some folks asked for this, so here it is. This is what I am planning on doing, and the order I plan on doing it in. If anyone wants to help, let me know! I'm doing this all for free.

| 0.0.1 | Added Bus Schedules Header, List of Bus Schedules with hyperlinks to JTA website. |
| 0.0.2 | Changed background color and spaced out the list to make it easier to tap. |
| 0.0.3 | Added JTA logo and link to JTA homepage. |

Whoops! I goofed.
Last night I uploaded version 0.5.0 of the JTA Bus Schedules app for WebOS. I made it so that the schedule webpage on jtafla.com opened inside of the app, instead of loading a new web browser card for each schedule.
I don't particularly like it this way, because it doesn't give you any feedback to let you know that the app is working. It just turns the screen white until the page loads. My plan is to add the actual schedules to the app, and then make it so the schedules launch as a separate "card stage" so that you can have multiple schedules open at the same time. I just don't know how to do that, yet.
Also, I just found a few goofs! A few of the schedules won't load. I'll fix them up as soon as I get home.
Sprint Web Chat just rocked my socks!
So, I normally don't talk about customer service unless it stinks, but I just got off a web chat with Sprint and they rocked. Long story short, we accidentally had two phone plans on our account instead of one, and we didn't realize it until this month. So, I got on the chat with a Bruce K. who got me straightened out in less than 45 minutes. I was ready to lay the smack down and fight to get a credit of the overcharge, but all I had to do was explain the situation. He was completely professional about it, and took care of it lickety-split. If you happen to be reading this Bruce K, Thanks again! - Ray Hollister

- RayHollister: @ACarback OIC. I guess that makes sense. You could call it from another number, I guess. But that kinda eliminates the point. September 2, 2010
