QML for Ubuntu Touch

Wade Shull — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:35:40 +0000

There have been some very neat releases as of late in the mobile world. Jolla is trying to keep the momentum that Nokia built with Meego by releasing a UI named Sailfish. Mozilla has put forth a plan for its Firefox OS. The one that I have chosen to follow though is the release of [...]

Simple jQuery accordion navigation for WordPress

Richard Orelup — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:43:14 +0000

Fortunately at my primary job I was able to get buy-in on my proposal to finally move off of the our current horrific CMS (here is my full write-up on all of my complaints about Hannon Hill’s Cascade Server) and move everything to WordPress. It’s going to be an amazing example of the power of [...]

So I got a Nook Tablet so figured why not review it

Richard Orelup — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:03:16 +0000

I’ve never really felt a need to have a tablet. I’ve had an iPad around from basically the time they came out at work and it was never more than a giant Angry Birds player. I’d see others using theirs and anything they did other then games I already did with my laptop (and better [...]

QML States and Transitions

Wade Shull — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 18:34:17 +0000

]Coming from a non-programming background sometimes leads me to be intimidated just by the thought of something that appears to be complex. One of those ideas was transitions. QML has the ability to provide the programmer with a range of different transitions to allow their app to be very fancy/professional looking. Once I really sat [...]

PageStackWindow in MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan for Orientation and Transitions

Wade Shull — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 18:01:36 +0000

When I first received my N950 from the Qt Ambassadors program I was super excited to get my apps running on it that I had written in QML in Qt Creator. Because of the multi-platform functionality of Qt Creator it only took a day to download the new SDK and compile my apps for MeeGo [...]

How to get MeeGo 1.2 Emulator in Qt Creator with Nokia’s Qt SDK

Wade Shull — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:28:19 +0000

The thought of MeeGo has been around a good long while now. In my opinion it has the potential to be the biggest mobile OS out there, but only time will tell that. With Nokia introducing the N9 though there has been an increase in development community activity. One of the things pushing this is [...]

Doing Flickr Groups with jFlickrFeed

Richard Orelup — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:21:10 +0000

My buddy Rahsaan was having a problem getting his group feeds to show up with a tool he had found to bring his Flickr feeds onto his website. He was able to get his public feed feed to work fine but not groups. I threw him a bone and helped him figure it out. I [...]

Drag and Drop Reorder List in QML Qt

Wade Shull — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:26:54 +0000

With QML being such a young language in Qt there are still a lot of questions and tweaks that are happening. There are also a lot of features that people want, but aren’t included. From going through the different forums one of the options that I have seen brought up multiple times is to have [...]

QtCreator, QML and console.log

Wade Shull — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 13:45:38 +0000

I hadn’t really planned on posting another article this soon, but I feel I should write about the command – console.log. console.log is an extremely powerful command that is easy to forget and is possibly not widely known about. For both of those reason I am pushing this post out today. For those who don’t [...]

Bring Twitter API data into Google Docs to quickly view/manipulate

Richard Orelup — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 00:19:01 +0000

So this whole example comes about because of this tweet by Kate Gardiner .bbpBox55390857716699140 {background:url(http://a2.twimg.com/profile_background_images/152091504/kate_twitter.jpg) #1a1a1a;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px !important;line-height:22px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata{display:block;width:100%;clear:both;margin-top:8px;padding-top:12px;height:40px;border-top:1px solid #fff;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author{line-height:19px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author img{float:left;margin:0 7px 0 0px;width:38px;height:38px} p.bbpTweet a:hover{text-decoration:underline}p.bbpTweet span.timestamp{font-size:12px;display:block} So in all of Twitter-dom, there is seriously no tool that archives a day’s tweets [...]
