Lightweight Wiki for Windows Mobile devices

TiddlyWiki 2.1.3 on Opera 8.6 for Windows Mobile 5

Monday, December 11th, 2006

I just found that TiddlyWiki 2.1.3 runs quite well on my Windows Mobile 5.0 PDAphone. It does need the USD29 (30 days trial) Opera 8.6 browser. WM5’s Pocket IE is too puny to run the JavaScript required for TiddlyWiki.

However, the QVGA (320x240) screen resolution of WM5 PDAs does require tweaking the CSS of TiddlyWiki […]

Eclipse, Visual Studio, NetBeans and WebSphere

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

One of my colleagues, an experienced Visual Studio developer, recently had a look at IBM’s Websphere development environment and was enamoured by it. I think he would be interested in what the industry is saying about Eclipse (and NetBeans for that matter). I wasn’t wrong, in pointing him towards Eclipse, was I? ;-)

IBM Websphere and […]

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

Today I managed to squeeze some time to visit PWTC for the annual Smartcard Exhibition running on 17-19 May 2005. My impression is that this year’s is smaller than last, or it could just be my memory. Anyway, I did find a few interesting exhibits, as well as finally applying for MyKad ;-)

A better Nokia clam-shell than 7200?

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

My significant other decided to be generous, and left her Nokia 7200 on the back seat of a taxi. Needless to say, we couldn’t get it back. So now, I’m on the market for another Nokia clamshell with the following specs …

Japanese mobile phonecams users have been using QR Code for some time to scan/enter URLs from newspapers, magazines and business cards. However in the US a competing 2D barcode, Semacode, is a bit more known. The two sample 2D barcodes encode the URL http://www.sabre23t.com in both QR Code and Semacode format.
