At my coop job this summer I’ve had the pleasure of developing mobile applications for the Android, Blackberry, and Symbian platforms. The contrast between the three from a developer’s point of view is striking, especially for me because I ported an application between all three. The first platform I was introduced to was Google’s Android. [...]
The blog has been down for over a month now, thanks to Karan deleting my wordpress installation and me being too busy (read: Lazy) to fix it. Â However, it’s back! Â Expect updates on Android, Blackberry, and Symbian development.
Algebra 135 exam was yesterday. It went well, although I messed up what should have been a straight forward proof. Macro Economics exam is in a few hours, and I’m still procrasting from studying by writing this post. Computer Science exam is tomorrow morning. I’m not terribly worried about that one, although I haven’t programmed [...]
I’ve finally had some time to write some new and exciting code. Firstly, I’ve created a AJAX chat room at http://www.findthehotties.com/chat/. The eventual goal is to integrate the chat room with Find the Hotties. Please don’t kill it right now. It’s open to XSS attacks and spam bots . Speaking of that, what’s the best [...]

Michael is a fascinating man with lots of good advice. He recommended the following entrepreneurial books: Beyond Entrepreneurship Selling High Tech High Ticket (Out of print) High output [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’m beginning to look at Ruby + Rails. At some point I’ll write a comparison between Python/Django and RoR. My current laptop’s battery fails within a minute of removing the plug, and the 120 GB hard drive is really constricting. I figure I’ll stick with this computer for [...]

I have quite the cold this week. This is unfortunate because I have a midterm tomorrow in Algebra and five interviews on tuesday. So if you’re interviewing me this week, please tolerate the sniffles . To make matters worse, I lost my glasses on friday, which makes class time as useful as Magikarp’s default attack. [...]
Today I traveled to the Waterloo office of Kaleidescape by way of Limo Bus. I didn’t know such things existed, but they do. They have an epic office, and the co-op employees seemed pleased with their experience. Many return to Kaleidescape every term. I love their technology; they create the hardware and software of extremely [...]
