Welcome to Travicom, the blog that covers the software nerdy conversations of new digital communications design and implementation. Your adventure begins by selecting the blog title in one of our three chapters. Here are the most current:
Mountain InspirationWhere we came from
Travicomm is building off the foundation work in 2011 under the heading It Starts With One. That project that required day by day goal and milestone tracking accomplished these objectives that laid the ground work for Travicomm in 2012.

- WebBlaze framework to become UI for Project Kaspyr
- New standard UI look and feel now known as GLADOS
- Converted web site pages
- Migrated server services to new host
- Shut down desktop computer for the last time and gone all mobile computing
- Standardized on 4G LTE for new smart phones
- Completed SSD/NAS/VM based network installation and expansion projects
- Continued roll out of music library as all digital content
- Refurbished a Congo pinball machine
SkillzTrack
In 2004 Wolffysoft was exploring the world of Microsoft's embedded operation system Windows CE. At the time the platform was new, solid and heading toward being the OS of the first smart phone. While developers were able to obtain the designed for Windows CE and Windows Mobile certifications and the associated awards for embracing the platform, the technology became outdated in both software and hardware. While all the CE projects ceased development in 2006, the application known as StatMaster was finally retired in 2010. That old software wasn't archived but ported into a new cross platform implementation with new looks, design concepts and web publishing. What emerged is a Tracker app with Skillz.
Pin Game Journal
Waiting on 150
That's right. Pingame Journal is about to print their 150th edition. The editors put a call out to all the contributors to share something for this edition and of course, I did. When the edition goes to print you can find that story here.
New Adventures
Some where buried deep in a file cabinet is the lost Throwdown that was never published. It may lurk but while you wait to see how that turns out we are hard at work with new adventures featuring a new Pinball Enthusiast known as Lawn Boy.
Inside Stuff
The
winter months mark that time of year when everyone curls up and wraps up a
number of digital projects. As part of Operation 2010 the site got
the final phase of updating. From the image shown
here you can see that there were just a few tweaks made going from the old green and blue
to the new black, silver and purple. As we continue to
embrace HD resolutions our pages had to be capable of rendering themselves to make use of the latest in wide screen
technology.
Every developer has their own signature as to how to perform user interaction. The one being used currently uses the purple, black and silver color scheme and where possible, a glassy look to mock Joel's preference for matt finishes. The Glossy Looking App Doing Object Services not only gives a shout out to the great programing staff at Valve but is also implemented in CSS so it can apply to both HTML and native interfaces.
