PageSpeed Service by Google

Less than 24 hours ago, I implemented Google's PageSpeed Service for GIDApp.com. As a result, mobile view for the site is broken.

Please bear with me while I work out the kinks on the site and figure out this new, awesome, experimental service from Google Inc.

Also, I have also decided to avoid using the bare domain i.e. gidapp.com, and will instead use the www subdomain i.e. www.gidapp.com, for the main site.

Search by Date Improved

A while back I talked about implementing a better Search by Date for the Sports Toto result pages and today I would like to announce that I have added one more small improvement to that original idea: You can now narrow your search quickly and easily by selecting the YEAR first in the form.  See the highlighted area in the picture below.

Select by Year

Eventually I will include this on every page, even on pages meant for mobile phones.

GIDApp.com is Moving

If everything goes as planned, gidapp.com will be served from a new server by Saturday, November 10, 2012.

The completely brand-new web server is located in Los Angeles, USA, and has almost double of everything - more RAM, more disk space, and most importantly, more powerful processors.

I apologise in advance for any inconveniences you may encounter during this period of transition.

4D Search by Date Optimised for Tablets

Searching 4D draw results by date on 4D by GIDApp is going to be a lot easier soon. Presently, all we have is a regular Calendar Date Picker tool (in Java Script) with which you could submit a date like '2012-09-29' without having to actually type it in yourself.


This was fine for most people viewing this site on a laptop computer or a desktop, but for those of us who are viewing these same 4D draw results on our tablets and other hand-held gadgets, it was quite a bit of work to get the form filled-in when the (virtual) keyboard slides into view blocking the Calendar Date Picker tool completely every time you try to access the search by date text box.

To make it easier for iPad and other tablet users, I decided to replace this Calendar Date Picker tool and text box with a selector of draw dates from the past. In other words, you just point or click on the date you want to see from the offered list. This works wonderfully for everybody, the tablet users and regular computer users alike.

Simple point-to-click date selector for tablets

I hope this little optimisation will improve the quality of your experience here every time you search for past 4D and other lottery results on your iPads and tablets.

There is a growing number of people using tablets like the popular iPad and Nexus 7 everyday and I am very certain this number will only explode in 2013 and beyond.

Latest Damacai Results by GIDApp

Just over a month ago today, I quietly launched Da Ma Cai by GIDApp here at gidapp.com/damacai. Today I am officially announcing the site to the world! :-)

As usual, the main feature of the site is not only the fast results on draw days but also that the site is optimised for any smartphone and even some feature phones.

Screenshots always help, so here are a few:

Android

iPhone

Tablet - Nexus 7

So you see, whether you are looking for the Latest Damacai Results for your iPhone, or the Latest Da Ma Cai results for your shiny brand new Nexus 7 tablet, all you really need is a device (ANY device) connected to the Internet, a browser and this one address: gidapp.com/damacai.

The latest Damacai 1+3D results are usually available after 7:45 p.m. on draw days. The newer Damacai 6D Jackpot results though are typically only available much later, at around 8:10 p.m. onwards.
