More Behavioural Change

By chance I was walking through Crows Nest on Saturday when I noticed what initially looked like a graffitied wall (I've only added the red ellipse): Although my initial reaction was to keep on walking - honestly, can these guys be serious with a wall painted like that? - but then I noticed the "Driving...

Occasionally Connected RAD Framework

This morning I was reading the latest edition of The Architecture Journal and was intrigued by the opening article "The Internet Service Bus". In this article Don Ferguson, Dennis Pilarinos and John Shewchuk discuss different development processes, namely opportunistic and systematic development...

Perth kthxbye, hai Sydney

Agrh, damn you LOLCODE - whilst I'm definitely no convert I thought this a fitting title for this post where I am revealing that I'm packing up and moving (again). This time the destination is Sydney for an indefinite period! So, why the move? Well essentially it comes down to work - Intilecta...

Deepfish rocks on Smartphone!

In my previous post I wasn't that positive about the new mobile browser, Deepfish , that Microsoft Research have been working on. This morning I decided to give it another shot, this time on the i-mate SPL device. The first problem I encountered was that you can't install both the Pocket PC and Smartphone...

Code Camp {where}

For some reason this week seemed to disappear. After getting back from my trip around the globe last weekend I was excited to launch back into work. Dave and I are now working out of the Perth Annex - the Perth extension to the R & D Centre for Intilecta based in Wellington. Part of my time while...

Logging options for .NET Compact Framework

Since the first coffee meeting I have been hassling Alan to start blogging. After migrating the user group's website across to Community Server I was able to set a blog up for him and he just submitted his first post. One of the pain points for a number of mobile developers is what to use for logging...

Source control up-time

As I indicated in a previous post we have recently moved away from SourceSafe and started using Subversion. Since my involvement with the VS2005 betas and using TFS for a couple of small projects I have always been an advocate but there are a couple of things that just don't make it the right decisions...

Sample Images and Icons

Earlier today the team at Intilecta were talking about where to get stock images from. The obvious candidates being Clipart, online collections, creating them ourselves... My contribution to the conversation, that I was surprised no one knew about, was the Image Library that ships with Visual Studio...

Things that fall through the cracks

Over the weekend I think my brain must have been fried by the warm weather Perth was experiencing (either that or it was a result of the closing party for the Verandah Club - part of the Festival of Perth ). Firstly I failed to notice that the SDK for Windows Mobile 6 had been released. Secondly, and...

Mobility Picking up Momentum

Over the last couple of years we have really seen an acceleration of mobile devices. While this has primarily been in the consumer space - a friend recently purchased a phone that takes better pictures than my analog camera - the adoption in the enterprise has started to kick in. With the advent of technologies...
