iPhone Google Mobile App

Tuesday, July 29, 2008 by Greg Berlin

The Google Mobile App available from the App Store for Apple iPhones would have to be one of my favourite apps. Basically it allows you to search Google via a locally installed application on your iphone, without having to first start up Safari, and subsequently waiting for the results to download in HTML format (which adds unnecessary overhead).

Okay, I just had to blog this one.. not because I have an amazing solution that will save people lots of hassle, but because of the complete bizarness of it. There's very little information online about this problem, so hopefully if anybody else has this problem, they'll find this, share their experience, and best case scenario come up with a solution that we can blog for the rest of the world. I wouldn't wish what I've gone through today on anybody else... it wasn't fun!

The Real McCain

Sunday, May 25, 2008 by Greg Berlin

With the American Federal election just around the corner, I have to say i'm quite concerned with the options available to take over the role of Commander in Chief from George Bush Jnr.

In the Democrats camp, it's looking like Barack Obama will be their candidate running for president in 2008. Is America ready to vote a black man in as their leader? I hope so.

 

Defending the Wild

Sunday, April 06, 2008 by Greg Berlin

I stumbled across this article a couple of weeks ago, and just had to share it. It's incredibly well researched, thought-provoking article that I wish everybody on the planet could read and have a good think about. Please take the time to read it, and feel free to add some comments with your thoughts after. If you prefer to download a PDF version to print and read on the bus/train/plane/etc, I've attached it after the article.

This Is Game (an awesome and very touching comic)

A heart-warming and thought-provoking cartoon about life, love and our tendency to take things for granted...

Adding a Discipline Type to TFS 2005 Work Item Tasks

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 by Greg Berlin

I've been using Team Foundation Server 2005 for the past 4 months or so on a winforms .net development project at work. It's a fantastic platform for managing source code and versioning, as well as managing tasks and bugs... and today I found that it is even more customisable than I ever imagined.

VB.Net IIf Catch

Well, literally seconds after posting the previous post, I stumbled across this old doozie and thought i'd blog it right away for future reference.

VB.Net Logical Operators - Boolean vs Bitwise

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 by Greg Berlin

I've just spent the better part of the last hour scratching my head over something so stupidly simple that its resulted in a sore head (due to the obligatory banging of it against my desk numerous times in frustration at the resolution)...

Spoonbill Live @ Northcote Social Club

Sunday, February 03, 2008 by Greg Berlin

After hearing so much about Spoonbill over the past couple of years, but never having seen them play, I finally saw them last weekend at Rainbow Serpent Festival... and, well, I loved it. Really nice, groovy dubby sounds - a great wind up to the outstanding Ott (that's another post - one day when i find the words to justify his music)...
