For those of you who have been following me on www.binaryrefinery.com . I’m having problems with the server that’s been running my blog (placed on-top of my fridge) for the past couple of years. I’ve got a dead disk controller, which is falling into the two difficult category to fix (new motherboard and disks), it looks like. Maybe its time, to take my blog into the cloud? I’ll ask the good folks at GWB, to see if they will let me redirect traffic from www.binaryrefinery.com over to them. What do...
I wish I could draw stuff like that…...
We’ve just had a play with Motorola/Symbols MC55. Its billed as a enterprise digital assistant (EDA). It looks good bridging the gap between the MC75 (VGA screen, camera, laser barcode scanner, ruggedized) and MC35 (QVGA, light, non ruggedized). Full specs. here http://www.motorola.com/Bus...

ME</A> which is a bit of a shame. We have been making use of this for some time, on mobile portals. See below : Technorati...

So I work on a nice campus with a restaurant. The restaurant publishes a weekly menu. To save paper, we’ve put the daily menu on a mobile optimised web-page (i.e its basic) Then we’ve just printed a Microsoft Tag, (see www.microsoft.com/tag) so that people can view the daily menu on their mobile device - To see what’s for lunch today - Technorati Tags: Microsoft Tag...

I just came across this great white paper on the future of Mobile Internet Explorer http://download.microsoft.c... Of course as well as flash lite support and touch and gesture support. We now finally gain support for viewports. Viewports set the initial zoom and display constraints for a mobile web-page. Webkit has supported this for a while, but its nice to see that a mobile optimised website will look good...
