I'm releasing my first cheesy Canada411 Sherlock Channel.
You can find it here.
It's simple really. You punch in a name and address information and it does look ups in Bell Canada's Canada411 service. Double click on a row and you'll get a map from Mapquest.
There's a couple bugs still to work out:
- The postal code isn't properly submitted to Mapquest, but that doesn't seem to matter for most cases.
- It doesn't handle more than 25 results from Canada411 properly
- Provinces aren't supported yet. I was too lazy to support more than just Ontario. There seems to be a bug in the XQuery->Cocoa bridge but I'm trying to figure this one out with Apple.
So except for number 2, it's not really that bad. I gotta say that programming with XQuery and Javascript is a pain in the ass though. When you accidentally make a syntax error, the program just hangs.
It doesn't crash, or give you anything useful, it just sits there and waits. Forever.
