In early December of 2009 I’d been debating on starting a new application for the Android Marketplace, Christmas was approaching and I figured a simple Santa Tracker might be a fun diversion.
Join myself and a brave graphic designer as we embarked on developing a Santa Tracker in only twenty days. A view into project planning, tight time lines, and even apparently ruining Christmas for a select few.

With the release of the Android application store I've released my first application titled Pokerzee. The game is based off Yarhci, which in turn was based off of the traditional Yahtzee game.
I was first exposed to the game by my wifes parents who brought a set of dice with playing cards on them instead of numbers, and after playing a night or two thought it might be a fun thing to write for a portable to take along.
To give players more of a goal I added online scoring so you can compare your scores and always have someone to try and beat.
Since this is my first second application for the Android platform I'll work hard to fix any issues and make updates based on feedback from users. I hope the game is a simple fun diversion and you enjoy playing it on the go.

Been playing around with the Android SDK over the last few month and today I'm finally releasing ShackDroid, a mobile front end for
http://www.shacknews.com
My first project using Java, and I have to say I enjoyed digging in and seeing how the language was setup. All and all it was a great learning experience, and one day hopefully I get my very own Android phone to use it on :)

Note: To install this you'll need to turn off a setting that restricts downloads only from the Android store. It
looks like this from what I've gathered.
And a couple of screenshots for those missing the phone like me :(

Been talking to a few coworkers about LINQ to SQL and how simple it is to do the basic stuff, so figured I'd do a quick step by step on how to use it.
The Entity Framework is now out, and I haven't had much time to actually play with it much. The good news is, there isn't much of a shift query wise between the two. The EF, brings some nice new things to the table, but for simple web apps, I think LINQ to SQL has a lot to offer.

So today I needed to update some existing code and hide a part of a table using JavaScript. The short of it being, that based on another element on the page they wanted to hide a part of the table.
Technically I could have broke the table into two separate tables (I was actually tabular data), but that seemed to create issues with column widths and such matching.
So, if you've ever tried to wrap a div around table row elements your probably well aware, you can't hide and show them. So.. the some what simple solution? Cheat!
<table>
<tr>
<td>
This table row stays!
</td>
</tr>
<tbody id="hiddenid" style="display:none;">
<tr>
<td>
This table row is hidden!
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The only tricky thing to be aware of is when you are setting the TBODY tag back to visible, you need to set it to
"table-row-group" for it to properly render the tags. You can set it to "block" and it works in IE, but will not show properly in FireFox. table-row-group fixes the issue in both browsers.
NINJA EDIT! Ok, turns out IE doesn't like "table-row-group", so for IE you must set the TBODY element to nothing.. "" or to "block" in order to render the table rows again.
Yes I know it won't go through validation, but it was quick and painless and the result was far cleaner in the end.
