So, you've built your web icon or application (perhaps in the 'Eclipse' development environment) and you have tested it thoroughly on your virtual platform and phone. The next step is perhaps allowing people to load your work directly onto their phone from your web site.

Ive just done this by using the following reference document on the Blackberry website:

I installed the recent (1.6) version of the Java development kit to use in the Eclipse IDE.

All was going well with the project until I opened the Eclipse environment yesterday and suddenly for no apparent reason it wouldn't start! An error dialog was given stating:

"Failed to create the Java virtual machine."

A very simple Firefox browser problem which had me stumped for quite a while! Turns out this has been around since Firefox 4 was released way back in March 2011.

I often want to check all the pages in a website for visual glitches on different platforms. I'll sometimes want to check for display problems (on web pages across an entire website) which have crept in due changes in DOM handling on new browser releases.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this 'glitch' (I suspect more than a glitch though) with Facebook?

I'm pretty new on the 'book' so I just wanted to see if anyone was looking up my featured website.

All of a sudden I'm presented with 'Flirt' which wants to share my details with all and sundry. Fair enough I thought, at least they're asking.
But I decide I dont want to allow them permission to share my details and stuff so I click the button "Don't allow".

Reader, if you don't use the b2evolution blogging software this post is unlikely to be of any interest whatsoever....if you do use b2evolution and have recently upgraded then you may have arrived here after experiencing the same problem.

Searched high and low on the usual forums and there was no mention of any similar problems with other users of the new upgraded system.

Hi reader and Happy New Year to you. Lets hope 2010 is as good as it can be.

at the moment its a bit chilly. Did you see the twitter application which monitors U.K. snow.? If not you may be interested in taking a look here...http://uksnow.benmarsh.co.uk/

Basically, it's a snow map of the U.K. using Google Maps

Not much good if you're reading this in summer I know :-)

Bye for now,

Just to let you know reader that I just upgraded to Drupal 6 and am still configuring the menus and content for full access. Thanks.

Someone contacted a client of mine (via junk mail as it turns out) claiming that their website was not registered in "most of the leading search engines and directories", and offering to submit the site for a (shall we say) hefty fee in order to reap 'amazing business potential'. Well once this client got in touch with me I became very interested how this could be! I thought to myself "what proportion of these 'other' engines would make up the rest of the search engines in use in the U.K. given that I'd already submitted the site to Google, MSN, Yahoo and Hotbot.

Google has now released version 2.0 of the Chrome web browser, with some new features and improved support for JavaScript.
'Google' have been working towards adding the top requested features and making 'Chrome' faster, over the past eight months or so since it's launch.

The Google 'Chrome' browser looks to be quite inovative. In this brief 'look' I touch on a few of its features and include links to the Google (free) install files for anyone who's not yet tried the browser. So....
