Updates from Android Code Day

View Comments

It seems the Twitter is back online, so I’ve started updating there.

Soon I will upload the photos to Flickr.

Update 15:15: Caught a talk with Ouriel Ohayon (Ouriel is live blogging the event on Techcrunch.fr and on Twitter).

Update 15:40: I’m keeping updating from time to time on Twitter, and uploaded some photos to Flickr.

Update 15:50: Ouriel mentions on his blog, that the Android is going to be much more influencing than the iPhone. I guess he’s right. And now I’m happy that I didn’t buy an iPhone :-)

Update 16:33: Dan Morrill is doing a code demo. For me, after watching his video demo, it’s a bit boring… Although from a quick survey Dan conducted earlier, it seems that most of the audience didn’t watch the video demos or even downloaded the SDK.

Update 17:20: Caught a talk with Dan Morrill. I had some really good questions, so he wrote them down and I hope to see updates from Google soon.

Update: I’m back home. At the weekend I will post a summary and my thoughts on Android. Hope you enjoyed the coverage :-)

Android Code Day @ Tel Aviv

View Comments

Thanks to a tip at SMO.co.il blog, I found out that Google conducting a day long introduction for their Android cellular phone operating system – the Android Code Day. This event takes place today in London, UK and here in Israel. Also on the 23 February they’re having a similar day in Boston, Massachusetts.

My First Android Application

I’m attending the event here in Tel Aviv, if Twitter servers start responding I will tweet the event from time to time (you can follow me here). I’m bringing my camera, and will post the photos under “Android Code Day” tag on Flickr.

Hope to learn new cool stuff,

My Moo Mini cards are here ! :-)

View Comments

For a long time I knew I needed business cards, but because I’m mostly a free lancer I didn’t knew what to put on them (besides my contact details of course).  Recently I’ve stumbled upon Moo.com, who are nice people who like to print cool stuff. One of their services is the Minicards - 100 mini business cards with your contact details on one side and images from your Flickr gallery on the other side.

For me it’s perfect – instead of just having a dull busienss card with just my details on it, I can share my photo gallery with the people I contact.

And now, after a week of waiting, they’re here -
My Moo Mini cards! :-)

BTW, I’ve got a discount card for future orders of Minicards – if anyone of you interested, just drop me a line : arik at arikfr dot com.

I’m back!

View Comments

For around a year this blog was practically dead, and I mostly maintained my Hebrew blog. Now I’ve decided to revive this blog and to change it’s focus. Instead of focusing on obvious ideas for new startups, software and mashups; this blog will now focus more on software development.

Hope you will enjoy the new blog.
