Eclipse EGit A couple months ago I switched my version control system for PHP development from CVS to Git and moved the Tera-WURFL development tree to the public repository Github. Since then I had been using an early version of the Eclipse EGit plugin (I think it was 0.8.1, but I can’t be sure). The plugin was only partially implemented at the time and I used it for committing and pushing only. »
Barnes & Noble Nook The new Barnes & Noble Nook is actually much cooler than I thought! After reading a few books on it, I’ve written an in-depth review on my findings. Read the full review over at GadgetMe! »
I recently created Tera-WURFL Explorer to allow people to browse through the WURFL, search for devices and upload images to the WURFL images collection. I originally used MySQL’s FULLTEXT index to let people search for devices, but quickly realized that it did not suit my needs. The main problem was that it does not index words smaller than what is specified in my.cnf (ft_min_word_len), and if you want to change it, you need to change it server-wide. »
I’m just about to release Tera-WURFL 2.1.0 (Stable) and I thought I’d give you an idea of what to expect. I was originally positioning this as a minor update (i.e. 2.0.1), but decided to make it a minor version upgrade because it adds a lot of functionality and includes a few more settings than version 2.0.0. Here’s what’s new: Experimental support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 / 2008: with the MSSQL2005 Database Connector, you can now use MS SQL Server as a Tera-WURFL backend! »
I happen to have an iPhone and an iPod Touch sync’d to my iTunes back in the US, but now I’m in Iraq and don’t have access to my computer with the iTunes library on it. I do have the music, but I don’t want to sync my iPod to my iTunes because all the play counts and ratings will be gone. I had a little free time last night so I wrote a script to update these attributes for me! »
