I'm happy to announce my new game FlagQuiz coming soon on Android Market and App Store!

Problem

The problem I stumped upon the other day was how to enable USB debugging on Samsung Galaxy Tab in order to test one of my Android applications.

On my HTC desire, I was able to check the "USB debugging" checkbox, but on GalaxyTab, this options seems disabled/pre-checked already (Settings -> Applications -> Development):

When a huge metal hinge landed next to my shoe as I was leaving London's Whitechapel station on Monday, 8 August 2011, I realized how serious the situation was.

I got home, turned on BBC News, lunched twitter and as my jaw was dropping lower and lower in disbelief of what is going on with the city I happened to love, I thought I could do something about all the data that was coming through.

Over last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a new projects – mobile deals website. I have decided to sign up to few affiliate systems and experiment on the market of mobile devices. My website Cheap Mobile Deals UK is featuring handsets from all manfuacturers on all networks available in UK.

I used data feed from Orange, T-Mobile, 3, O2 and Virgin Media to list all available mobile phones and deals. I have also subscribed to Carphone Warehouse feed and this is where I redirect my visitors. There is still loads to do, but at least at this point website is fully operation from end-to-end.

Generally it is better not to interfere with the textual content from JavaScript, but if we ever had to capitalize a word, this is a very cool way to do it:

Today I want to share with you an application I am working on at the moment. It is a ground station for radio controlled plane and it's purpose is to illustrate raw data sent from the plane back to the ground using on-board modem.

I am writing my application in C# using Winforms. Every instrument is a separate Windows Control Library, so it can be easily reused in a different application. So far I created 3 controls:

I got stuck on this one once, so I decided to write my own article.

To access the content of any iframe on your html page, you can use following:

$('#frameID').contents().find('#someElement').html();

Note, both iframes must be hosted on the same domain, otherwise you will get error, similar to this one:

Error: Permission denied for <http://localhost> to get property HTMLDocument.nodeType from <http://www.example.com>.

Neat workaround for this issue is described on Michael Mahemoff's blog, in article Cross-Domain Communication with IFrames.

The Issue

Last week I spent few hours trying to resolve silly issue on my Microsoft Vista Home Premium. I was unable to browse my network places. What was even more frustrating – I couldn’t browse any of the boxes on the network, including my own machine. Every time when tried to access one of the visible Network Places, I was getting error similar to this one:

jQuery's selectors engine is one powerful piece of DOM parsing tool. It allows to easily select HTML objects based on the tag name, ID, class, or any other attribute we want. Using jQuery selectors we can significantly speed up development and make our life easier.

One of the interesting things about jQuery is the fact, we can write our own, fully customized selectors. Example below shows how can we archive that by extending standard class. In my example, I create my own custom selector, to select all elements with font color set as "red" or "blue".

.NET Framework supplies few useful interfaces for comparing object. Two of them: IEqualityComparer and IComparer might sound bit confusing at first, so in this article I will explain the difference between them and show them in use.
