Tea Timer 1.3
Saturday, December 13, 2008
This is another bug fix release. Tea Timer couldn’t handle the values “08” and “09” for hours/minutes/seconds correctly, which is now fixed.
The JavaScript function parseInt() handles strings beginning with zero as octal numbers and there simply is no octal 8 or 9. So I just had to tell parseInt() that it must handle all strings as decimal numbers to fix this issue.
Thx to pat for his bug report.

Great Job! This timer is awesome! But sometimes I don't want hear the voice with "is ready" in the suffix. could you set the "is ready" voice as an option? so that I would like to hear “coffee time" instead of "coffee time is ready“. thanks.

Thanks! Should be no problem, I’ll include an option for that in the next version.

This is the best timer out there. Nice job.
I've been trying to have TeaTimer make more of a fuss when it is done. If I leave my computer, I don't always hear it go off. Growl puts a message on screen but won't keep making sound, either. Could you make tea timer keep ringing?
Much obliged.

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll try to add an option that let’s Tea Timer keep ringing and keep the Growl message on Screen till you click on it.

Honestly...i don't want to have to upgrade the app every five days....
Xerxes on December 16, 2008 at 09:10:
I can understand that and I think the upgrade interval will be longer in the future. But Tea Timer is still quite new and there are always much things to improve with new things …

Great widget - one suggestion; while you can change "Tea" to whatever you want sadly when you zap your PRAM it goes back to the default of "Tea"; would be nice if user could change the default perhaps from a drop down list when you "flip" to the backside of the widget? I'd suggest a listing with "Tea", "Knock, knock", "Just a reminder".
Xerxes on January 15, 2009 at 15:31:
Thx for your feedback. I’ll keep that in mind for the next version (which might be there at the end of February or in March).

I'm using a G5 at 10.4.11 I've downloaded 1.5.1 Tea Timer. Although I can enter a time and start it up, and it counts down, I can find no way to control the other functions: color, sound, etc. The little "i" is always missing so that I can't flip the widget around to the back side to adjust it! Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps my system is not supported?
Stefan on December 2, 2009 at 20:43:
Yes, If I remember correctly, I use a function that is only supported by 10.5 and above.
If you know how to work with JavaScript and HTML, you might try to fix this for yourself (making Dashboard widgets is realy easy ;-)). But I have no machine with 10.4 around, so sadly cannot help you.
