Gyuri Grell sharing my wisdom with the world

Here are the slides for my introductory presentation on the Android platform and some useful links to Android related sites.

SmartphonesIt's about time I started writing again, so I'll fill you in what I've been working on in my spare time over the last couple of months. Back in the day when I started iconoclast software, I developed several games for a touchscreen platform that was at the time found in airports, bars, etc. Ever since those were published, I've been dreaming of porting them to a mobile platform.

I use Launchy, a great program launcher for Windows and Linux, that indexes your Start menu, icons on the desktop and lets you quickly and easily launch them. It's also smart about letting you type the least amount, and learns as you repeat the same shortcut over and over. I mapped the shortcut key to Windows+Space which is the most convenient for me.

Drupalcon DC

It was my first time attending DrupalCon, and what a difference from your typical corporate fare. The positive energy is quite palbable, I'm guessing since many are giving away their time and knowledge to advance this great platform, Drupal. Attendees were quite friendly, and I met several people, including some lunchmates through Twitter.

Here are my notes from the various presentations I attended:

BarcampDC 2 The second BarCamp DC was this past Saturday, and after waiting nervously once again on the waiting list, I got an email from Peter Corbett that I'm in. First of all, Thanks to the organizers Justin, Peter and especially CDIA for providing such a perfect space for this event (for free at that).

I always wanted to set up a website for myself, and had many choices for how to do it. Initially I was looking at Wordpress, which is generally a great choice for quickly setting up a blog. At some point I had heard about Drupal (back on version 4.7 or so) and found it to be really interesting. I've spent the last couple years following its progress (Now on version 6, with version 7 in development) and have been spending some time getting to know it better. I joined the (now defunct) Gnomepal group earlier this year to pitch in and learn even more.
