My Coke Rewards

dawm — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:50:44 +0000

The MyCokeRewards app for webOS has been suspended due to changes on the My Coke Rewards server that codes are submitted to. We are not looking into a fix at this time.

Snipplet: SQL Query to retrieve all SMS to/from a number

SELECT com_palm_pim_FolderEntry.smsClass, com_palm_pim_FolderEntry.messageText, com_palm_pim_Recipient.firstName, com_palm_pim_Recipient.lastName, com_palm_pim_FolderEntry.status, com_palm_pim_Recipient.address, com_palm_pim_FolderEntry.timeStamp FROM com_palm_pim_FolderEntry JOIN com_palm_pim_Recipient ON (com_palm_pim_FolderEntry.id = com_palm_pim_Recipient.com_palm_pim_FolderEntry_id) WHERE com_palm_pim_Recipient.address=___PHONENUMBERHERE___ ORDER BY com_palm_pim_FolderEntry.timeStamp

Just tossing this up here so I don’t lose it. It will return all text messages sent and received for the specified number, and orders them accordingly (timestamp).

My Coke Rewards for webOS is now fixed!

Look for My Coke Rewards for webOS v1.0.7 in the App Catalog soon. Finally narrowed down the issue and thankfully we had enough cap codes to get it done. It appears that Coca-Cola changed the a few bits of the XML response we get from their server, this caused the app to crash even tho it still looked like it was trying to login. Even after fixing the login problem it was apparent they also changed the response for adding cap codes. All should be fixed as soon as HP/Palm reviews the updated version.

Regarding login issues with My Coke Rewards

We are aware of the issue that My Coke Rewards no longer allows you to login to add codes. We are looking into why its no longer working. We use an undocumented API to submit cap codes to the My Coke Rewards program, since it is undocumented it takes some figuring out as to what they may have changed. We hope to have this issue resolved soon.

Sorry for the lack of updates..

Never really got into the whole blog thing where I write and write about whats going on. So I’ll bring you up to speed on whats going on over here at Biocandy Labs.

Going to San Fran back in February was great, no delays getting there or getting back. Was nice to see the west coast after living in the midwest. Did some sight seeing and also attended the developer event and got to play with the Veer and see the TouchPad in person.

We did partially finish our next webOS app/game, but due to HTML5 Audio latency and HTML5 Canvas not performing well on device (Atleast on the lowest powered one, the Sprint Pre) we could no longer continue with it.

Sooo….

We started writing it as a PDK (C++) app, but there is problem with that. We don’t know C++, but we’re learning, and progress is going great (and almost have a playable version). The worst part about going the PDK route is the whole learning of the language and how to do things, we had some great ideas for the SDK version that were very easy for us to implement in JavaScript but C++ is a whole different animal when it comes to web related things. Basically that functionality is not built in and ready to use, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done, we just dont know how to do it yet. So we’re gonna do our best to keep to the original plan as best we can.

We’ve sent out a couple early alpha versions (SDK version) to a few testers and responses were great, we definitely think we have another winner here if we can manage to pull it off as PDK app. Also our main goal is to keep this compatible with webOS >= 1.4.5, we don’t want to leave the poor folks waiting for Sprint to nab up new hardware to miss out (plus we use a Sprint Pre).

We’re headed to San Francisco!

Tomorrow morning we will fly out of Detroit, MI headed to San Francisco, CA for HP’s big announcement and developer event.

We’re working on the 14 char MCR code issue

dawm — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 21:11:29 +0000

We’re working on getting the MyCokeRewards app up to date with the new 14 character code that Coke is now using. Please be patient as we don’t actually drink coke products and don’t have a ready supply of codes to test with. We have updated the app (but with limited testing of 14char codes) and it will be appearing in the catalog soon.

Pardon the dust..

We’re in the middle of an messy conversion, we’ve added Biocandy Graphics to the site and due to that we had to reinstall/rework WordPress. We’ll be restoring the old blog posts and pages shortly.
