Wow what a roller coaster thus far. I can spend an hour trying to get things to show in a list, when all I needed to do was call list.setAdapter(null) (I am programmatically adding elements so I don’t need an adapter). Apparently lists MUST have that called or else they display nothing. So I got [...]

So last night ended in a bit of a disappointment with the blowing up the heap nonesense. So first thing this morning is to try and find a way around that: simple enough I won’t call that function in java.net, find a way around it. That took all of 3 minutes and I have a [...]

So, for the past couple hours i’ve been working on making the actual aim client in a seperate “Service” from the activity itself. Thats pretty much complete however we’ve run into a bit of a snag. When actually starting the AimClient within android we get a “Impossibly Huge Allocation – out of memory error” from [...]

So, JAIM was a failure because even though the code was neat (very, neat) it ultimatly failed to do what it needed to do: act as a stable functonal aim library. JOscar may work, but i’ll never know because its horribly coded, and getting it to work is horrendously ugly and non-neat. So thats out [...]

I’ve decided to build an AIM Client. I’m going to use this blog (as opposed to creating a sub-blog, which I could) for my preliminary blog posts on the subject. If it gets hairy i’ll split it into a project blog (similar to the-warforge.com). So, i’ve done a lot of reading, played with the demo [...]

So, I decided to try some mobile development during this break, while I have some free time. So, since I own an S60 device why not give that a try first? Well, I have my worries. Firstly, unless Nokia really goes to the whole 9 yards, revamps all of the S60 interface, and makes web [...]

As usual, a new WWN was released this week. I’m going to stop posting WWN announcements here for fear it begins to look like a replica of the winehq.com rss feed. Feel free to subscribe to that to keep up to date on WWNs.

A new project of mine, Behind The Ballot.com has launched. In high school I was a part of a team called “We the People” which got myself and some friends pretty interested in the world of government politics and law. I unfortunatly have not had much time to continue to pursue the interest beyond a [...]

WWN 335 is out. Sorry for the lack of postings recently, been busy!

Wine Weekly Newsletter #334 is out as of today. New application status script makes its debut today, which is nice. Any recommendations on how to make that chart prettier would be welcome. Small bugs in this issue that may or may not get fixed: Its desktoplinux.com, not linuxdesktop.com
