We can further be reasonably certain that we have but recently entered the Seventh Age (circa 1958), and that the ages themselves have been “quickening”, since the Elder Days. From various sources, we know that in the region of 6000 to 8000 years have elapsed since the end of the Third Age. Still, allow me the mercy of an indulgent rhetorical device.īefore we go further, lets recapitulate the canon information we’ve established to calibrate our dating. Of course, if you’ve read my first article, you’ll know I’ve already come up with an answer to this particular question, making that statement null and void. Still, with few words spared in the pursuit of the enterprise, we can now finally begin to work out a chronology for the events after the end of the Third Age. Well, it’s been a long road since I first set out on this absurd enterprise, and while I like to think I’ve kept my feet, I never would have imagined the places I was swept off to in the course of it.

I would change the tile if could – it was just a little enthusiastic of a moment of realizing why the iPad version felt frustrating.Allow your Editor now to present the final installment of of Joe Bartram‘s four-part article series on Middle-Earth’s calendars, in which he concludes his investigations and establishes a calendar for the Society. Joe, frequently known as Gandalf, has been the Society’s President since 2014. When we all think together, we get somewhere, places good to find and it’s the fresh way too, feels… Jess, I hope these comments get to the team and so as to let them think about it, as the issues feel to go past something addressable by support-suggested adjustments. I in fact found Aeon valuable enough purchase and invest time in it, beta included, because of that use having been added. equally to remember you apparent market probes.

I think you can see all of what I’m trying to get at is visibility for enough related data that Aeon becomes as effective as it really can be in visualizing stories – or projects etc.

a better solution would feel to be adaptive width for such labels on any screen, of course with minimum and maximum widths to keep things sensible, and possibly ways of handling overage like local font resizing to avoid the problems of growing with wraps.

there’s another related problem would you’d like to remedy, which is that at present there are large fixed spaces allocated for row labels, like the Tracks in Subway View.

this natural touch scaling iPads would feel as good if it were acting on font size, as you seem to think first to implement, again a simple approach.

I understand about the horizontal pinch for the timeline, but this doesn’t stand in the way of vertical pinch for font size, does it?.

one simple way I’ve seen this handled is to have a own settings menu for a set of relative font sizes.

It seems we need you to think through in the same careful way about data presentation, no?

You’ve got a great deal of welcome configurability for data labels and types.

another consideration would be those of us more ‘experienced’, who prefer one step up already for text size in general on a standard 11in iPad alone.

most important, who wants to squeeze up every other app on an iPad so Aeon can be reasonable?.ideally one could go quite a bit smaller, as this is really a median value.only the smallest text size begins to be reasonable for Aeon on iPad.ok, yes, resizing text in Settings does affect Aeon.Will be very much appreciated, and make Aeon on iPad much better for visualizing any story, whether a novel as I’m interested in, or a commercial project plan as I see you’ve opened as a venture… This should operate in iThing fashion, via two-finger pinch/unpinch, and then all will be very much as expected, and smooth.

You can fix this very easily, by providing a Scale/Magnify/Zoom ability, just like the Windows version has.

Then I think I realized, the display is hard-scaled for iPhones, not even an 11 inch iPad…so everything is too large, and view actually is as limited as it felt. The nagging thing, I realized, is that you can’t make visible as much of a picture as you’d like.

In most regards, this is quite well designed and implemented as an iOS app – good and clear appearance everywhere, just as in Windows, abilities you’d need prepared and pretty readily findable, plus some real thinking evident in how information can connect (or not connect) according to what will be helpful.
