Recently, in my news feeds I stumbled across this implementation of Ropes in Java (http://ahmadsoft.org/ropes/) and it captured my attention right away as it boasts a faster (better?) alternative for dealing with characters in Java.

Samsung, Darling, Please Fix Your Galaxy Gear S…t!
OK so I’ve got myself a while back a Samsung Galaxy Gear watch and set it all up to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S3 and all that stuff — and as you recall, I’ve actually published a post about software upgrades and what-not needed to actually get to install the right stuff and get […]
About the Play! Framework and Their Thread Pooling
This is a rather interesting find and I’m still looking into it — so hopefully will come back with more insights on it — but I thought I’d publish these things as I find them. So bear with me as I unravel this mistery — as of right now, unless I’m looking in the wrong […]

Heavenly Village, Tahoe, 14/Dec/2013
First session of the season — still suffering from it 🙂 The motel we stayed in, clean and convenient as it might be had a TV though that has us wonder at first whether it requires a crankshaft… To our surprise, it didn’t — and even more, it was a colour TV one too! Here […]

Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch — Issues with Gear Manager App
I finally got myself one of those smart watches, and since I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and quite pleased with the Samsung products and the way they integrate, I went for the Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch. I’m not going to go on about where can you buy and how much, a simple search […]
Of CERES and Naming Your Products
