Rust, a New Toy Opening New Possibilities
I have not had a chance to blog in a while. Aside from the usual busyness of life, and the occasional bouts of illness, I have been distracted by a few new thing I’ve been learning: Rust, Kivy and Electron. I’ll write about Kivy and Electron in a future post. And a lot of that…

Nokia and Qt, I Choose You!
Since I commented on this post about MeeGo here, I really should explain. I went to a Wavefront/Nokia seminar about Nokia’s Qt and Ovi store on Friday. Partially out of curiosity, partially to network and partially to perhaps win a brand new spanking N8. Not that I want to hand in my N900, but I…

Crazy Busy
I’m going to have to keep these next upcoming posts short. I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment, with the sheer amount of things going on at the same time. I still want to try to keep going forward on the projects already in progress. But I will not add anything new to my…

Along the way I like to record what worked and what didn’t. Blogging on a touchscreen cellphone works as a compromise of convenience. Writing on…

Maemo Hacking and Project Revivals
With such a cold wet summer, I thought I would spend more time hacking. Yet this year spare time is a scarce commodity and most of that time I find myself far from a proper development workstation. Fortunately with an Internet tablet in my pocket, I can at least start on learning about Maemo development.…

Web 2.0: Hype or Future?
I recently applied for a web designer job, and among the requirements was a knowledge of Javascript and this new thing, AJAX. Truth be told, I never loved (or love) Javascript and never really enjoyed most client-side based web gimmicks (applets, Flash, etc.). In a few cases, these technologies were beneficial to the site deployed.…
