meta: iPhone/Android apps down

I am currently moving the module that allows the smartphone apps to plug into drupal to its most current version. There is no upgrade path and the changes are significant so the apps may be down anywhere from a couple days to a week. Apologies for any inconvenience.

While you're in there smashing things, please fix the loophole that allows users with less than 100 points to post new threads.

It should read "fewer" than 100 points. Is "fewer" still grammatically superior in this instance or has there been a generational change in the language (asked the 41 year college instructor)? Discuss and add to the inanity:

According to my mother, who has been a professor of English for 40 years, "less than" is perfectly correct and equivalent to using "fewer". However, feel free to use your extra year of experience as a tie-breaker.

I seem to remember someone telling me that it has become acceptable to interchange "less than X" and "fewer than X." HOWEVA, you still have to say "100 fewer apples," while "100 less apples" is incorrect.

I pulled it, but I'll put it back once the app is fixed.  Didn't want people to download it and get pissed.

In the meantime, this gives me an opportunity to fix all the things that happen when the mgoblog servers are down.

Any possibility of allowing all (or a selected portion) the blog's content to load when you open the app, like the NYTimes app does with their content?  I read on the subway and don't have phone reception there.

I'd have to "cache" some stories and implement an "offline" mode.
