Uk

2.79 miles ~= 4.49 kms Almost to 3 miles. On Monday we will see if I can do that.

2.05 miles ~= 3.3 kms I shall say that South Bank river side is a very nice place: the buildings are practically on the River Thames, and it looks like a very romantic place. There are different nice coffee shops (and some are NOT Starbucks ;) ) around there. Quite surprising that this is my 3rd month in this area and I didn’t yet taken a proper look at it. I will… (I’m just waiting for a proper Spring).

Last 2/3 months I used a bit of my free time studying Android the so called “Google OS”, that is the result of the Open Handset Alliance. In this relatively short amount of time I had the possibility to collect information from the official sources, as well as from very interesting and active forums (like this one and this one). I had also the possibility to meet other experts during the Android Code Day event (here a summary what we did there). It was a very good place to ask important business related questions: I should say that the Google Developer Advocate Jason Chen was very keen to answer my tricky questions ;-) . Spending other words on this here is quite pointless: half of the web speaks about it (while the other half speaks about iPhone ;) ). But I would like to share part of the result of this study: * A Presentation: "Into the Android" [[PDF](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/Into the Android.pdf) | [HTML+Flash](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/Into the Android.html)] * Video #1: MWC - Android running on different ARM-based devices [[mp4](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/MWC - Android running on different ARM-based devices.mp4)] * Video #2: MWC - Android running on E2831 [[mp4](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/MWC - Android running on E2831.mp4)] * Source code of the Application I developed for study (actually, is just the [Tutorial](http://code.google.com/android/intro/tutorial.html) that comes with the [SDK](http://code.google.com/android/download.html) with much more internal documentation ;) ): [VSNotepad.tar.gz](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/VSNotepad.tar.gz). The presentation explains different details of the Development process using the code of this application as an example. The video are also on Youtube and embedded here after the jump. ...

UPDATE Grazie alle “magie” (ehm, “magagne”? ;) ) di cui e’ capace C++, il miracolo e’ avvenuto (e, giuro, l’Elefante non ha subito alcun danno; anzi!). Fare il "Forward-Porting" di questa [en:API] e' come far entrare un [it:Elefante] in una [it:Fiat_Cinquecento|Cinquecento].
