Okay, HISTORICON convention goers.. I'm making the last changes to the GUIDEBOOK app for HISTORICON 2015. So here are a few notes for you.

Dudley Garidel got the final vendor count and maps to me, they are now included. I've added one more event since PEL.

I enabled three new features for HISTORICON 2015. Twitter feed, Notepad and TMP News feed. What the heck, why not, they are free!

1) A News feed uses a RSS feed to transmit news items to the Guidebook. Since HMGS doesn't keep up a RSS feed, I used the miniatures page, which is as close as we come. It's not very relevant to a specific show, but what the heck, it might provide interesting reading.

2) Notepad is just that-- a place for the user to keep notes.. like " I need to vist PicoArmor and buy Hind D helicopters".. etc. etc.

3) Twitter feed. Again, there ISN'T a Twitter account for Historicon, so I'll do some tweeting about it during the show using my account (@TheLastBrunch) and the hashtag HISTORICON2015. I encourage EVERYONE who uses twitter to use #historicon2015 during the show!!
