The Emerging Technology like Conference Being Hosted in The UK Over One Day In June Conference

If the country was run by Sir Humphrey, last night saw the steering committe of the “Emerging Technology like Conference Being Hosted in The UK Over One Day In June Conference” meet up to discuss planning the event.
On the Agenda was the location, dates, speakers, insurance, and the thorny problem of what we would call [...]

Symbian WebRing In Place

Now why hasn’t anybody thought of this one before? The Psion Series 3 and Series 5 both had strong WebRings, and hopefully the Symbian WebRing started last night on All About Symbian will become just as useful.
If you’d like to join the ring, you can find more details here, or jump straight to the sign-up [...]

Vexed UIQ is Coming

Here’s a sneak preview screenshot or two of Vexed running under UIQ. There’s just one or two things I want to do before releasing this to the public. Firstly, I need to tweak the menu system a little bit, as UIQ currently needs a bit of a hack to get the Menu on screen all [...]

Infinte Improbablilty Goosebumps

Pictures from the Mars Spirit Probe. Someone had the bright idea of pointing the camera at the Earth and taking a picture of… well.. everyone.

If it was so superior then why do Broadcasters and Cameramen still swear by Betamax (they call it Betacam) until going digital [...]

Don’t Mess With My Memories, George

History is what once was. Much as people want to re-write history, to decide that their current vision is the one true vision and all others should be destroyed (or left to rot on magnetic tape), the original is out there, having touched millions of people and changed their lives.
I’m talking about the Star [...]

Radio Izzyhack

Russ pointed out ShoutCast over on his Blog, and pretty much destroyed the few hours I had left yesterday evening. Not by browsing all the Internet Radio Stations that Shoutcast picks up (it’s a plug-in for Winamp, the old warhorse, that allows you to listen to streamed internet ‘Radio’ stations). Oh no, my time was [...]

Event Core for UIQ Released

Just posted the UIQ Event Core up to FreEPOC. It’s an ‘empty’ application for OPL, showing you how to do everythin properly and providing a good place to start OPL coding. And if you just want to see some OPL code doing more than Hello World, open the zip file and read the core.tpl Text [...]
