I have gone through the existing AdSense account which is tied to the blog as well as all pyamsoft related Android applications and blocked or disabled Advertisements from every network that I possibly could. All possibly controversial categories were also blocked (sex, gambling, etc), and hopefully all invasive styles of advertisement like video or animation and sound have also been restricted.
In effect, not only should you no longer see Ads in new pyamsoft applications, but any users still on older versions will also no longer see advertisements.

Handling SQLite
I am in the process of moving over the SQLite Database backends that were hand written to use the StorIO API written by the fine folks over here: https://github.com/pushtorefresh/storio
The change has already taken effect in PadLock (alpha) and should roll into Power Manager in the next update.
StorIO should prevent me from overlooking SQLite issues and other database things that I do not fully understand.
It should also make life a bit easier, but we'll see.
In other news, drawables are being ported to the SVG format so they will be easier to apply to various screen sizes at high quality. I do not plan to support DayNight at this time, though I may do so in the future.

No more Ads
No more Ads in pyamsoft applications.
This means that all existing applications will not need, and will not ask for, the Internet permission.
I don't like Ads. You don't like Ads. We have an agreement here, then.
Instead of Ads, there will be a small, unobtrusive donation button added into the top bar of each application. Clicking the donation button will allow you donate a small amount as an Internet "thanks" for my work. This change will be slow to come, as it will take some time to update all of the current applications, but it will be rolling out "As soon as possible." We'll see how soon.
Donations will be handled safely and securely through Google's In-App Billing API, and will be routed through your Google account on your Android device if you have one. If you don't, instead of closing the application in error like a failure in Ad loading would have, the application will just simply inform you that you will be unable to make donations and then let you continue on your way.
Simpler. Easier.
Better.
We'll see.
