Private George Ritchie - WWII

I heard a click and a whirr. The whirr went on and on. It was

getting louder. The whirr was inside my head and my knees were made of rubber. They were bending and I was falling and all the

time the whirr grew louder. I sat up with a start. What time was

it? I looked at the bedside table but they’d taken the clock away.

In fact, where was any of my stuff? I jumped out of bed in alarm,

looking for my clothes. My uniform wasn’t on the chair. I turned

around, then froze. Someone was lying in that bed.

And suddenly I remembered the young man I had seen in the

bed in that little hospital room. What if that had been … me?

Or anyhow, the material, concrete part of myself that in some

unexplainable way I’d gotten separated from. What if the form

which I had left lying in the hospital room in Texas was my own?

And if it were, how could I get back to it again?

Gingerbread testing...

From Alpha to Beta

Over 9000 was just a test for me to learn the developing curve and publishing tricks to Programming for the Android Platform.

I'll put out two more versions probably before I fully move on. However, I've already started a new app and there's a lot more to learn. Before I'm finished with 9000 I want to apply animation to onClick events so I can use what I've learned from that for my next project.

Tonight purple skies

I'm driving home right now and it's storming out bad, at work all thelights and machines shut off and i lost much of my progress dialing in my parts but i was almost done.. Driving hone I hit a large puddle in the road. Car was going 45mph until it dropped to 20mph through the water, splashing HOUSES from the road! Crazy night, after I got home I started polishing my Android app and writing a draft book I plan on publishing someday.

DDMS

Dalvik Debug Monitor

Dalvik is the Java Virtual Machine that Google made for Android, it's designed specifically for mobile use to utilize slow clock and save on energy consumption.

Here we have my HTC Hero connected to my Macbook and as we move around in the phone it reports EVERYTHING that is being done on a source level. It also breaks down CPU usage and other information for you. It's handy from a developers standpoint to see how the application your developing is behaving and how the system is reacting to it.

The World of Programming

Android 2.2 Froyo

Probably the most impressive version in terms of boot speed and overall performance, even running as an emulated version. I can't wait to test out the new APIs and, better yet, run on my phone!

Android is getting pretty advanced and the evolution of the platform is much quicker than the iPhone mostly due to the ecosystem Google has made and the pushes they themselves had made to advance the platform.

It shall be interesting to see the battle yet to come in the Google TV vs Apple TV app market...

Sorry for the delay in postings, I have school and overtime at work, plus a wedding in a few weeks. I will try to update more often. I just got both of our phones running Android 2.1(HTC HERO's) using a ROOT method for flashing custom ROM's and such.Twice as fast, features all work, it's perfect! Expect more information..

Lab'n Cabin

This is what my basement lab will look like in a few years, including all the digitals such as: the oscilloscope, function generator, digital power supply w/ AC, capacitor testing unit, and variable soldering irons.

Ordering IC's is cheap, there could be hundreds of different kinds, all organized, for cheap!

My workshop will be for home improvement/modification, fun projects, distribution on eBay or such, things like that. It'll be a start for my second business that's concept is in the works. The other should be obvious by now, a software company of coarse with touches in publishing.
