How to add invitations to your facebook app

We have spent the last 2 days to fix, improve, clean up the OnMyList facebook app. There is this new way of using FBML to do invitations. I figure it will help some other folks out as well. If you are looking to spread some viral on facebook, take a look at Facebook app invites with RoR.

BTW, we are using RubyonRails and Rfacebook.

New badminton session has arrived

Our badminton session will resume tonight after almost a month. I am sure there will be a lot of people because they all want to sign up. Fortunately for us old members, we are given priority in the signup process. For newcomers, get there as early as possible to get on the head of the waiting list. See here for more info.

New Apple products

Apple announced quite a few new products for the holiday season a couple days ago. The iPod nano with a widescreen for video and the iPod touch seem to garner the most attention. I am not a big on-the-go music fan and I don’t own an iPod and can really use the iPod touch with the cool touch screen interface. It also has Safari built in so I can browse over wi-fi. It works just like the iPhone and who doesn’t love the iPhone?

However, after some more thoughts, if I can only use Safari when I am in a wi-fi hotspot, what’s the point if I already plan to get myself a macbook? The only difference would be the touch screen UI, but is it really better than a macbook’s UI, with a keyboard and a mouse? No. Touch screen is cool but the iPod touch is just for play. I ain’t gonna shell out $299 or $399 for something that I can do better with a macbook.

What would be really cool is some 3rd party developers write a Skype app that can appear as an icon on the iPhone or iPod touch so I can totally bypass the cellular network when I have city-wide wi-fi access. Then I can save some cell phone bills.

Oh, a larger capacity with both flash and hard drive would be a nice addition as 16GB is really not enough nowadays. The iPod nano does have a 160GB option. I guess you can’t get ‘em all in one…

A few cool StumbleUpon finds

Figured that I would share these cool sites:
