MPdata+ Goes To Version 2.02

My RISC OS application for keeping tabs on your UK Member of Parliament called MPdata+ has been upgraded to version 2.02

New in this version is that only one copy can be run at a time, the green more info buttons has had a slight tweek to make them more obvious that they are buttons and a few changes in the Up Coming Elections window which are. The ability to save the info as a ICAL file and if an application that can handle ICAL files has been seen by the filer then a button will be shown which will have Run ICS file.

I have uploaded a short YouTube video of the new features.

It does require a working internet connection and wget to work.

If you find my software useful why not purchase some of my merchandise or donate through my Ko-Fi pages.

MPdata+ Goes To Version 2.00

I have updated my application for RISC OS that helps you keep tabs on your Member of Parliament of the United Kingdom MPdata+ to version 2.00

The reason for a version 2.00 release was that the code was getting harder and harder to maintain, plus some changes to the application itself with some external links removed as they no longer exists and new feeds added.

I have uploaded a short YouTube video of it action.

This application requires a working internet connection and wget to work.

Why not buy some of my merchandise or donate a few quid if you want.

One Library To Bind Them

My three UK  representative checking applications  MPdata+, for keeping tabs on your Member of Parliament, MSPdata+ for keeping tabs on your Members of the Scottish Parliament and MLAdata+ for keeping tabs on your Members of the Northern Irish Assembly.

All three applications uses a library to convert HTML entities and convert them into text.

All three applications requires Wget a working internet connection and the information comes from They Work For You.

Elections Comes To MPdata+

My UK  Member of Parliament  application MPdata+ has been  updated  with upcoming elections in your area.

A new window opens with the date time and what type of election it is, with buttons for more information which takes you to Who Can I Vote For site, the other button downloads the .ics file.

The data comes from Who Can I Vote For site in a .ics file.

This is my first .ics file conversation so I’m interested in locations that break the new feature.
