BluRayer Bloghttp://www.blurayer.comumbracoBlog for BluRayer, the new way to share DVD's & BluRays between friends and work colleaguesenBluRayer Facebook Apphttp://www.blurayer.com/blog/2010/7/18/blurayer-facebook-appSun, 18 Jul 2010 10:42:09 GMThttp://www.blurayer.com/blog/2010/7/18/blurayer-facebook-appNot much has progressed with the BluRayer Facebook app, we have a development version of it about 40% done - But due to some of the restrictions developing a Facebook app has, we are having to rethink a few things and how we are going to approach it.

Hopefully after this next phase of development on BluRayer, we'll jump straight back on with the Facebook app and hope to have something done by October/November... (Notice I didn't put a year down!).

We have had some excellent feedback from everyone using BluRayer, and fixed a few bugs from the feedback - Over the next 4 weeks we'll be adding some new functionality (Again based on your great feedback) and hope to improve the admin UI so it looks even better and is easier than ever to use.

I know we are not breaking any records, but we currently have over 105 people from all over the world signed up and using BluRayer - And we hope this continues to rise over the coming months.

Remember without you guys n gals telling everyone about the site, then we won't continue to grow as we have - So please keep spreading the word, and huge thanks to you all again for signing up and using the site in its first month.

For Beta v1 I'm just leaving the banner ad place holders where they are, and once I any major bugs have reared their horrible heads.  I can fix them and look at setting up the ad/banner management.

Heres the screen shot used in the screencast

If you have built your own web apps, you will know how frustrating it is as you want to put so many things into it but time is always against you!

But hopefully this Beta will have enough features for people to use the site in a useful way :)

I'll spend tomorrow just tweaking a couple more things and half a day of some final styling tweaks and then we'll run with what we have for the moment.

Fingers crossed nothing major breaks just yet!

]]>Bits That Take The Timehttp://www.blurayer.com/blog/2010/6/1/bits-that-take-the-timeTue, 01 Jun 2010 06:35:08 GMThttp://www.blurayer.com/blog/2010/6/1/bits-that-take-the-timeWell as we are getting closer to the Alpha testing part of this little build - I thought I would start jotting down what still needs to be done to get this into a fully functional site.

MAN you just forget how long all the little BORING bits are going to take, for example getting this blog working properly with comments etc..  I managed to sign up to Twitter so please follow me on there

Once the site is a bit more styled and Alpha testing is out the way, then I'll look at getting the brand sorted properly and consistent through all the social media areas.

The ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) leads a dangerous mission to defeat Hades (Ralph Fiennes) before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth.

Pre-Order from Amazon today

From what we have heard the video and sound quality on this BluRay is supposed to be outstanding.  And with  some of the most advanced CGI we have seen (apart from Avatar of course), I'm personally looking forward to getting this and have had it on pre-order for the last few weeks.

Already from the handful of people I have shown the site to, I have had great feedback and a couple of brilliant suggestions.  One of which I will be integrating straight into the first main beta as I think its such a good suggestion.

Hopefully when we are all launched you'll agree that the wait for these new tweaks has been worth it.
