Like sands through the hourglass :P

If you know where the title comes from I pity you :P , anyway back to things in general. I have been pretty busy recently as well as pretty bored and the combination of these two states produces some very weird results.

Firstly I actually took the time to upload my Salaah Time Calculation code to Google Code so if you ever feel the need to judge my code it’s available in the public domain for your scrutiny.

Secondly I finally got my HTC Magic and all I can say is wow. The phone and everything it does is pure brilliance, although that view might be slightly biased as I ‘reviewed’ it from a developer’s perspective. But in all honesty it can do everything my Omnia did, but it’s faster and lighter than the Omnia. The only 2 things that kind of annoy me at the moment is that we (in South Africa) don’t have the proper android market which means the amount of applications we have at our disposal is extremely limited .Secondly even though the phone comes with built in GPS capabilities it can’t really be used as of now because it only supports Google maps which is not supported (for turn by turn navigation) in South Africa. Other than that the phone kicks ass and I would never choose another phone. I’m not going to list all the features since there are way too many other sites that have already done that in a way better article than this.

Lastly I started work on my distributed network article a while back until I realized just how long it was .So I have re done the article in the form of a video tutorial which I will hopefully upload soon. Until then I suggest you start building up the hype for my next article so that I can finally get some hits and retire of the ad money.
