Android 3.0 SDK Hands-on
I got some free time to play Android 3.0 today. That is an Android for "tablet"! The default screen size is WXGA (1280×768). That is tablet. Anyway, the interface is much cleaner. Moreover, I found the browser is different. Now, that 100% looks like a Desktop Chrome. One last things I picked up, that emulator is much slower than the older version!
Trying to cut down my mobile phone bills
Yesterday, I finally ended my account with Optus. I was with Optus for around 10 years. Why did I do such action? I am still very happy with Optus service. That is only because I found a provider is more suit for my needs. They are Amaysim. They are no minimum spending and I need to pay what I spend every month. That is what I want! I don't need a free mobile phone and extra bonus amount on my plan. I got my Galaxy S and connect with my friends via skype and msn, which can be done in mobile internet. I don't need to use voice calls that much. Moreover, they only charges 15 cents per minutes. My previous plan is $19= 127 minutes in Amaysim. I don't need to use that much. Thus, I think I can lower my mobile phone bills!
Log File Reader
Few days ago, I wrote a little program which read files and it will get the latest version when the file is updated. Therefore, this is a live reader program. This is good for reading log files. Please check here to download.

Online data backup

After the flood in Brisbane, I figured out I need an Online data backup service. The water can wash out my computer, all of my data. Thus. I did a research. There are a few providers of free Online data backup service.
1. SkyDrive - That is a Microsoft Cloud Harddrive. That is huge, you will have 25GB.
2. Ubuntu One. It integrated with Ubuntu. That just likes mounting a drive. You can drag and drop files to your online drive. It will have 2GB free online storage. But they are not using Ubuntu, you cannot use it!
3. ZumoDrive, it comes with my yahoo mail. It will have 1 GB free storage. After you took a tour about their service and install their windows application, link a folder to their, etc. You have 1 GB free.
4. Box.net - It has 5GB free storage and it got a very nice HTML5 app for Chrome! I like their apps
I think we are good enough to do a data backup for myself at this stage!
