Evan — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:50:56 +0000

In GDocs Export, prior to version v2.0.1, I had overlooked a rather serious issue with mobile development.

The issue, limited memory. Android sets a virtual machine heap size, or the maximum amount of memory a process can allocate when running in a Dalvik virtual machine, which all Android applications run on if developed using [...]

Evan — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 04:15:46 +0000

So its Friday night and I’m looking for something cool to do with Python. Hey, why not write a function to find all of the prime numbers between 2 and n. Easy enough right? Turns out its rather complicated. There is an algorithm called Sieve of Eratosthenes which is used to find all of [...]

Fedora 15 & Virtual Box Additions

Evan — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:29:51 +0000

I spent quite some time attempting to get this done. If you don’t know, if you don’t install the Virtual Box Additions on your Fedora 15 virtual machine you are limited to a resolution of 1024×768, which is a problem for me. My monitor maxes out at 1680×1050, so I wanted to use every pixel. [...]

Evan — Thu, 12 May 2011 16:47:28 +0000

Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O 2011, was held this week. The breadth of news involving Android, Chrome OS, and Google’s vision for the web in general was staggering.

However, something I can certainly appreciate is a new WYSIWYG user interface designer for Android developers. Currently, the ADT (Android Development Tools), included a frustrating [...]

Speeed Reader and Twitter

Evan — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 02:53:16 +0000

A brief news update. On August 31st, Twitter is going to be disabling the existing HTTP authentication method for logging in and tweeting using the Twitter API. Unfortunately, all versions of Speeed Reader use this method to share articles on Twitter. I will not be providing an update implementing the new method (OAuth) because of [...]

Evan — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:38:52 +0000

Alright, after having several interactions (software certifications, questions, etc.) with the crew in charge of Microsoft’s mobile application store, I have a couple of criticisms (constructive). Warning: I am not a writer, I am an engineer, so please excuse my improper grammar
