Android SDK: Folder Fails to be Renamed or Moved
Mar 17th
Recently I tried to update my Android SDK from revision 7 to revision 10 on my Windows 7 (32 bit) machine. I ran into an issue where a simple temporary folder couldn’t be renamed or moved and the updater kept throwing me an error. I tried numerous ways to resolve the problem, but to no avail. I ended up on Google Code and found some helpful solutions.
Rooting the NOOKcolor Without a MicroSD Card Reader
Mar 10th
I wanted to root my NOOKcolor the other night, but was stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the instructions requiring a MicroSD card reader. Well Mister Fancy-pants, some of us don’t have a MicroSD card reader, but we do have all the other necessary pieces to the puzzle. I scoured the Android Tablets forum for a solution and ended up posting the question. To my surprise the solution was pretty simple — use your cell phone.
First Impression of the NOOKcolor
Mar 6th
So; I finally got my hands on a NOOKcolor. The wife and I bought nooks and they were delivered to our home last week. She got the original NOOK primarily because of the e-ink technology and I got the NOOKcolor because word-on-the-street labeled it as a great introduction into tablets. I certainly don’t have $600 to put down on a Samsung GALAXY Tab and Motorola’s Xoom is NOT living up to the snowball hype it generated during Superbowl XLV. So; here’s what I think of it.
Bootstrapping Log, Stardate 64603.4
Feb 8th
Sadly; I’ve been bootstrapping my web development company, Digital Alias, since November 2001. You’d think by now I’d have it in full gear. With a combination of my own personal defects, managing a family of four, and a full-time job I’ve learned a lot of DOs and DON’Ts. So; I’m going to start keeping a public log to track my progress. It’s more of a reminder and time line to me, but this IS the Internet… so everyone benefits. 
Whatcha’ Say!?
