Friday, November 29, 2013. The holidays are here again. I've had some good holidays over the years, and, some bad ones, just like everybody else I'm sure. I'm almost always the outsider. By the end of the night, aside from being. For really the first time in forever. Here's looking forward to a chance to change, and move on in a positive direction for once.

Wednesday, March 09, 2011. Verifone calls out Square over mobile credit card processing. I noticed this morning on Engadget. It's possible for a background application to copy data in transit between Square's card reader and Square's official app. It's possible to use the card reader with a non-official Square application. Lets take a look at the official claim and see what Verifone has to say about it. The bottom line is this: Is Square doing anything wrong? No But are they doing anything right? In Moun...

Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Some of my quirks. Being DOS 2, this was long before DOS 5 which introduced the ASCII/ANSI based "DOS Shell" file manager. You had files, and directories, all limited to an 8 character file name, and a 3 character extension. The two were separated with a period, and there were no exceptions. This is how I grew up. Windows 2000 came and yes, I upgraded. 2000 would be the logical successor to 98, would it not? Made sense to me, but no, Windows 2000 was the upgrade to Windows NT, wh...

Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Android device saturation: Is competition really such a good thing? It's honestly a lot more my roommate's. Work than my own. I'm certainly technically sufficient when it comes to a lot of things, including Android, but I'm not a code poet. So that's where my experience as a developer stands. Those are waters that some aren't willing to test with their $500 device. To exploiting race conditions that are inconsistent across the device. With all the different devices running diffe...

Tuesday, October 08, 2013. The winds of change, radiating from a cell tower in the distance. It's no secret that I've been an Android enthusiast for years, going all the way back to 1.0 on the first developer phone, the ADP1. I found myself involved, early on, with the CyanogenMod. Android 1.5 came out, and with it, CM. I grew to support the team, who are all a great group of guys, and did what I could. Here and there. It's been a wild ride over the years, and now that they've incorporated. It seems that...

Saturday, December 25, 2010. Happy Christmas, ladies and gentlecats. Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a computer was stirring, neither keyboard nor mouse;. The packages were updated, each one with care,. In hopes that St. Linus soon would be there;. The daemons were idle using no CPU,. The firewall working left them nothing to do;. And I with emerge, and Akira with apt-get,. Had just settled down for a long winter's fetch,. When out on the net there arose such a clatter,.

Tuesday, February 01, 2011. Of Mountains and Molehills: The Honeycomb Event. A while ago, I made a few twitter posts, and forum posts about the look of Gingerbread, dating back to October. There was even a photo posted, that was blurry as Hades. I hereby take full credit for both. So where did they come from? About Gingerbread's style showing up in Google Maps if you changed your build.prop file. Of course that isn't all, though. Google matias duarte art. I live in San Mateo. I work in Redwood City&#...
