uLuas: Ubuntu Touch app for real-time Luas information

[Aaron Hastings]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the introduction. We have indeed met before - 3Dcamp and/or
SkyCon, I believe? I've also chatted with you about Ubuntu CDs for 091 Labs
installfests before.

Not a bother. There's few people in the country that have Ubuntu Touch
devices available to test on, although I'm hoping that'll change with the
recent announcement of Ubuntu Touch Dual
Boot<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/DualBootInstallation>.
I have it running on my Nexus 7 this way. The Galaxy S2 was a bit more of
an effort <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188621>, but
still pretty easy.

Unfortunately, my app is currently not working as expected due to the Luas
RTPI systems having fallen over recently. Their official apps and website
hasn't been displaying stop times, with only an error message saying to
check the website (which doesn't work!).

I've also created Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/uLuasApp>,
Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/uLuasApp>and
Google <https://plus.google.com/102147001351521108586>+ pages for anyone
who is interested.

All the best,
Aaron
