Hall Monitor: Philly 311 App on its way — just like it was two years ago.
Hall Monitor is not exactly a coding genius; but, recognizing the increasing role of "Computer Assisted Reporting" these days, we offer readers of this blog post the following program, to be entered into your favorite BASIC processor (non-80s-computer-nerds avert your eyes):

As the Daily News reports, the city administration told City Council yesterday that a 311 smartphone app is on its way — great news but not, we'd point out, very different news than we heard two years ago, when the administration said the same.
Technically Philly has been reporting on the delay for years. In July — July, 2010, that is — TP reported on what was then a 2-month delay:
Last week, while the City of Philadelphia was busy celebrating the country’s 234th birthday, another anniversary passed by with little fanfare. July 5 marked three months since the city announced it was developing its own 311 iPhone application to allow citizens to access city data on the go. It also marked the day the application was two months late.In an April 5 announcement, Division of Technology chief Allan Frank said the application would be available in May, yet there’s still no sign of it on thecity’s 311 site or in the App Store.
To be fair, Mr. Allan Frank no longed heads the Division of Technology. He left, the division was renamed, and two years later, it's Chief Innovation Officer Edel Ebeid, of the Office of Information Technology, who's now promising to deliver the mythical 311 app.
When? Goto 10.
