Android Developer Challenge

Google released their Android platform, and it looks pretty awesome. Their application stack looks equally friendly to web developers and Java-heads. I'd like to make something simple and sweet with SQLite and WebKit - couldn't be that hard. I'd like to participate in the Developer Challenge, but first I need an idea. And some free time.

Yeah, that novel-writing thing? Not happening. No way.

I'm backed up on a lot of projects right now, and as much as I want to take on some of the great work offers I've been seeing, there's just no way right now.

All the best,

Hilarious Things

Leopard seems to be doing well. Really well. I decided to check Leopard's "2 million on opening weekend" number against Vista's opening weekend number. Google results shown above.

You can't even Google Vista! Apple is kicking some butt.

I has a Gadget!

Updated: There's now an official todoist gadget. It's all badass and todoisty. You probably want that one instead of mine. :)

If anyone uses Todoist for keeping track of tasks and goals, you might be interested in this. I wrote a Google Homepage Gadget to interface with your todoist account. Currently, it lists all the uncompleted items on all your projects, and allows you to add new projects. Unfortunately, it doesn't yet allow you to complete items on the list - a feature I hope to implement soon. But at least all your projects / todo's are there for reference.

Update: While we're waiting for Google to add this to the directory, in order to add this gadget:

1. Go to google.com/ig
2. Click on "Add Stuff" in the upper right.
3. Click on "Add by URL" in small type next to the "Search Homepage Content" button.
4. In the box that comes up, type in: http://www.atevans.com/gadgets/todoist_gadget.xml
5. Click on "Add"

That's all there is to it! Thanks for using the gadget!
