Not enough draconian restrictions?
You’d think that Apple would have at least provided provisions for applications to easily traverse proxy settings entered in the Network settings area of iOS. Not so.

Facebook and being forced to “become a fan” or “like” things…
Within the world of Facebook, a person has the ability to “become a fan” (now “like”) of various pages containing certain likable themes, for example: procrastination.
Tutorial: Read/Write Android Emulator sdcard.img in Windows
For developers working with the Android Emulator on Windows, it can be quite tedious to interact with the “microSD card” (aka image) from outside the emulator itself, and which certainly isn’t helped by the fact that Windows won’t natively mount images. As far as I’m aware as I am writing this, there are only two ways to grab and drop files to and from the image: through DDMS or through the command line. However, I have a way which bypasses these two methods, is fast, uses free software and is easy to use!
Testing the Android Emulator…

Quick way to generate something random
Thought I’d write a quick post to pass the time. I’m currently working on a little pet project that involves PHP, MySQL and is supposed to be a database of things that can be added dynamically. I did write it in a ‘procedural loop’ form but scrapped it due to its unmaintainability and the fact [...]
It’s 0329hrs
I can’t sleep. Mind still violently active from finishing my Public order policing/Human rights presentation. I have to present it at 1000.
My blog, again: v3.0?
Warning: this introductory post is a combination of amateur philosophy, introducing one self and complaining. Over the years I have tried many times to create an online blog to share my thoughts (and to look back on them in X amount of time) and did: I got the server up and running, installed X version [...]
