Moving the Dropbox Folder on a Cr-48

Thanks to these lovely instructions and this wonderful set of compiled programs, I was able to install Dropbox on the Cr-48! There was one thing that bothered me, however, and that was the inability to view the file/directory listing from the browser. By default, the dropbox folder is stored in /home/chronos/user/Dropbox and it seems like …

Hello CR-48

The Cr-48 I won in the LucidChart contest arrived last Friday! Here are some shots of it, if you don’t know what it looks like already (basically it’s just matte black all over and completely unbranded and unlabeled). First Impressions I really like the feel of it. The rubbery matte texture makes it feel solid …

I was intrigued, and since I had always wanted to start learning Ruby, I decided to give it a shot. All the troubles …

Free Wireframing and Mockup Tools Impressions

I’ve tried a couple of wireframing apps that are free (or have a free option) and are web-based. I don’t have a set criteria so all of these impressions are pretty subjective and not that in depth. One feature that I really would like, though it may not be that practical/useful, is to have vectorized …

If you haven’t heard already, Google made a ton of announcements the past few days. In addition to the Nexus S, they also announced ChromeOS along with a (test) ChromeOS notebook and the Chrome Webstore.

Frameworks Survey by Evans Data Corp

First saw this mentioned in an article on ARS Technica. Here’s the actual report page abstract. What initially piqued my curiosity was whether any frameworks I was familiar with were being surveyed/ranked, specifically django and any PHP framework. But to my surprise, when I went to the actual report page, I saw “Oracle ADF” listed. …

Bitten by the Microcontroller-Geek bug

Ever since ECE4670 (actually since the summer before I took the course), I’ve always wanted to pursue these sorts of electronic DIY projects as an intelligent hobby. In fact, after completing my final project for the class and completing my sole final exam, I hooked up an old school imitation SNES controller to an arduino …
