Posted in miscellaneous | No comments

This is long overdue! I moved a few posts from my personal blog over here and was reading them as I went. In one I mentioned that I was getting a Curve and that I would review it shortly, oops. I’ve now had the Curve for just over 9 months so this won’t contain any [...]

In honour of the release of Google Chrome I thought I’d put together a quick tour and critique of the various icons for the top five web browsers currently out there—I’ll explain exactly why a little later. It is very important to create a visual brand for your product, we all know this and we [...]

Today I just found a new theme on the Blackberry free stuff site. It is called Surreal and it looks pretty damn good which is quite shocking considering the fuglyness of all the other free themes available. Take a look at the screenshots from my device.

When I first dug into programming with the RIM APIs installed with the Blackberry JDE I ran into quite a few roadblocks that took a while to circumvent. Most stemmed from my unfamiliarity with Java and the standard Java UI toolkits (Swing and AWT). After figuring out how to create and display each of the [...]

Recently I became frustrated with the state of free games for the Blackberry platform. BrickBreaker is really hard and choppy on the newer devices so I decided to do something about it. I also have a Blackberry Pearl just sitting at home since my recent upgrade to the Blackberry Curve. So frustration + extra device [...]

I recently ran into a problem with using the ASP.Net DropDownList for toggling the status of an element. The problem stems from how the ASP.Net page object works. In this article I present the problem and then show a solution that seems to work with some caveats.

I just found out yesterday that I am able to upgrade my Blackberry Pearl to the Curve through the Rogers hardware upgrade plan. Work is going to pay for the upgrade which is a nice perk. A co-worker recently got the Curve and we have all been trying it out and getting hooked. Most affected [...]

A few years ago I looked into using a Content Management System (CMS) to develop a site for a friend. At the time there were a few choices including Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, and about a hundred more which you can test at Open Source CMS. Mambo was really the only player that had the needed [...]

The ASP.Net CheckBox and CheckBoxList control don’t allow for the use of the full W3C HTML standard. For some reason Microsoft decided to implement a reduced functionality version that creates more work for the programmer. Come on Microsoft why can’t you follow even the simplest of standards? In this case it would make coding the [...]
