So I was away for 1.5 months on holiday. Back now. Need to get a damn job.

And a new website design for it as well! The old one was hand coded over SSH and looked very ugly, the new design is a bit more organized.

The new client has support for multiple servers, as well as things missing in the single server client, timestamps, detection of network connectivity change (so it disconnects quicker without lag), etc. It’s still a work in progress, so feel free to give feedback and ideas.

Go to the site.

I’ve been doing some work on getting AndroidIRC to support multiple servers and have made good progress. It’s not fully usable at the moment but I decided to put some screenshots up of the work in progress.

The chatwindow GUI hasn’t been fully implemented yet, I’ll put up a mockup that was done for me showing what I eventually want it to look like a bit later.

As usual, feedback is appreciated.

On a side note, I’m well into my exam period, wish me luck

It seems not a single day goes by without someone deciding to write a new article about Twitter. So fucking annoying when you visit the news site and there are new Twitter stories on each. Fucking hell, find something new to write about.

So you downloaded some kewl apps onto your G1 and now you gonna flash your phone to get r00t but don’t want to spend time re-downloading apps from Market? Or some sneaky developer is now charging for a previously free app? Well, I have good news for you! You download the apk files to your pc to install later.

Phew! I never knew coding such a small app could take so long, but I’ve finally managed to fix the really big bugs and make it run as a service. Anyway, head over to AndroidIRC.net for the file and more info.

Bug reports, feedback and/or constructive criticism welcome (via email preferred).

Better late then never…..or so they say :o

I originally ordered the black phone but T-Mobile fucked up and sent me the white one and to get a black one is a long process, so I’ve decided to stick with it.

Anyway, first impressions:

When the Android SDK was first released, I didn’t pay much attention to it. But then came time for me to to choose my final year project for Uni. My original choice was snagged by someone else, so I had to make a quick decision, the deadline for choosing the project was the next day.

I had been thinking, before Uni started again, about how it would be a good idea for me to write my own apps for Android, after all, the apps could be written in Java which was something I knew. The app I had in mind was an IRC client for the phone. (Yes, I am an IRC addict :/).

So, sitting in the Uni computer room, I decided I would make an IRC app for Android as a final year project.
