If you are running CyanogenMod on your Android device, and are surprised that some people seem to not be able to call you (half a ring, then hangup), you probably accidentally blacklisted that user.

Here are some samples of dealing with formatting numbers:. From decimal import Decimal. Huzzah, it does the right thing! But clearly, removing the normalize() will fix things, right? If dec.normalize().as tuple().exponent 0:. Labels: math is hard.

This blog is now hosted at consciou.us. Saturday, February 27, 2010. I suppose I have to do this sooner or later. Here's a track I recorded. Fender Squier 5 string Jazz Bass, defretted by yours truly. Audacity for some post-recording cleanup. I made this whole thing up on the fly; there were three tracks:. 1) the "drum" part: basically a muted slap of the fingerboard. 3) "7" chords (1,3,b7). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://randomdesiderata.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

This blog is now hosted at consciou.us. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Google blocking paid apps for Developer Phones. Apparently, if you paid the $425 to purchase an Android Developer Phone (ADP1), you are now a second class citizen. Google decided that you can't have paid applications. Here is the rub, as far as I'm concerned:. Google depends on file permissions to control applications. The developer phone has the ability to copy paid applications. If you took the time to put a rooted version of one of t...

This blog is now hosted at consciou.us. Monday, May 11, 2009. Why do I have physical infrastructure? I've been off on one of my ADD fueled research binges lately- investigating Cloud Computing. I looked at several offerings:. And here are the conclusions that I came to:. Of these, Amazon EC2 is the one that fascinates me.
