Deploying Blackberry Applications from a website - source code improvement available for download

BlackBerry_Phone_icon.png

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:

Eclipse IDE - Virtual Machine start problem, solved on second attempt

eclipse-jvm_error_dialog.gif

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."

"Bookmark All Tabs" menu item missing in Firefox - solved

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.

Facebook.com and 'Flirt'. Whats Happening here then?

Facebook and the embedded link to 'Flirt'. Is something fishy going on?

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".

b2evolution version 3.3.3 - so where's the file upload popup? - solved!

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.

Having upgraded the Moggyblog.com site recently from version 2.4 to 3.3.3. I suddenly found I couldn't upload files (in this case JPEG images) after creating a new post.
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.

UK search engine statistics 2008

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.

The Google 'Chrome' Web Browser - A First Look

The Chrome Web Browser

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....
