Just stumbled over Droid Draw, a user interface (UI) designer/editor for programming the Android Cell Phone Platform. You can either download the small application to your desktop or run it in the browser as an applet.

Here's a good tutorial to it:

Aug 2009, After two years of development, the TaoYuan Project team formed by ISIA and HKMA are pleased to announce that CMS 3.0 is born! The CMS 3.0 is the first Open-Source clinic management software in Hong Kong. The latest version 3.1 is available now for all registered doctors and clinics to download together with online e-learning and user manual. ISIA members provide various customized CMS service packages bundling hardware, broadband, data migration, training & hotline support.

Part (2): Here some misc other games of that time...

My very first game on PC (1994; I've done some smaller stuff on Amiga before around 1992/1993)... a Tetris clone... graphic sucked ;-) ... written in Turbo Pascal...

The second Tetris Genetris clone had slightly cooler graphics....

FunkyBoyz... another bomberman clone, coded a year later, different graphic mode, same sonds mode like Blower.

Even had it's own level editor...

Yatzee DOS game, not that exciting, but oh well...

A logic game, called 'mastermind' as a real board game:

I browsed some very old backup CDs and found my very first games I programmed back in 1994-1995. What great times!! The games were coded in Turbo Pascal on my 468 PC. Using the DOSBox, I can run them again and I made some screen shots... great memories .... greetinx to Jump and Dr. Hex (Gecko) :-)

Our very first GENETiCS game was a bomberman clone called Blower... very cool with title screen rendered in 3D studio max... the game with great MOD sound - awesome.

The manual, powered by ANSI art :-)

I'm mainly working on Windows for software development, Linux only on server sides, and was looking for a quick way to be able to build the Android Kernel on my primary machine, which only runs Windows. Building the Android kernel requires Linux or Mac. So as a quick solution I installed the VMWare Player running Ubuntu 9 on it.

Here are some hints how to get everything running quickly this way:

Install VMWare Player (download from http://www.vmware.com/products/player/)

In order not to running through the entire Ubuntu setup, I downloaded a current Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop image from http://chrysaor.info/?page=ubuntu

Since the hard disk is a little small for building Android (should have at least 10 GB of free space), I download another 50G disk and mount it to the system
Very useful instruction and quick way to add another HD I found here:
http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/howto/vmware-scsi-disk-add.html

Once the Ubuntu system is up and running with the newly mounted HD, proceed with the steps as documented at http://source.android.com/download
After having installed the necessary environment (git, repo, and all dependencies), the main steps to build the Android system and kernel are then:

• repo sync
• make
• make sdk

see http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/5d7f720f11b1f177

I dowloaded the android source code few weeks back through the following link, and I have been working on code for few days now. But I recently checked out source code yesterday on a separate machine and found out that after doing a 'repo sync' there is no kernel folder in the source code.

This is intentional. Having the kernel source in the android manifest caused large downloads that few people needed, was not scalable, and caused some confusion.

• kernel-qemu
• ramdisk.img
• system.img
• userdata.img

Since this is a very common feature for many websites, here's a useful snippet I usually use when displaying RSS feeds in an OpenCms template. For example you want to display an Atom RSS feed from a WordPress blog on your OpenCms based website.

My approach is usually:
The OpenCms schema has a OpenCmsString input field (named BlogRssUrl in my case), which is mapped to the property BlogRssUrl as well.

<xsd:complexType name="OpenCmsMySchema">
  ...
  <xsd:element name="BlogRssUrl" type="OpenCmsString" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
  ...
</xsd:complexType>

<mappings>
    <mapping element="BlogRssUrl" mapto="property:BlogRssUrl" />
</mappings>

For fetching the RSS feed, I recommend the ROME Fetcher subproject library at https://rome.dev.java.net/, which only depends on the JDOM parser (jdom.jar). So you will end up deploying three additional jars:

• jdom.jar
• rome-1.0RC2.jar (or newer version)
• rome-fetcher-0.9.jar (or newer version)

Below is the scriplet then for the OpenCms jsp template:

<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>
<%@ page session="false" import="org.opencms.jsp.*,java.util.*,org.opencms.file.*,java.net.URL,com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.*,com.sun.syndication.fetcher.*,com.sun.syndication.fetcher.impl.*" %>
<%  
    CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, response);
    String filename = cms.getRequestContext().getUri();

           // === RSS Feed Fetching ===
    FeedFetcherCache feedInfoCache = HashMapFeedInfoCache.getInstance();
    FeedFetcher feedFetcher = new HttpURLFeedFetcher(feedInfoCache);
    CmsObject cmso = cms.getCmsObject();
    String blogRssUrl = cmso.readProperty(filename, "BlogRssUrl");
    SyndFeed feed = null;
    if (blogRssUrl!=null && !"".equals(blogRssUrl)) feed = feedFetcher.retrieveFeed(new URL(blogRssUrl));
%>

and then display the output on the page:

<% if (feed!=null) { %>
<ul>
<%
// === RSS feed output ===
for (Iterator<SyndEntry> iter= feed.getEntries().iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
    SyndEntry entry = iter.next();
    %>               
    <li>[a href="<%=entry.getUri()%>"]<%=entry.getTitle()%>[/a]</li>                               
    <%               
}
%>
</ul>
<% } %>

I recorded an OpenCms introduction video last weekend using Movie Maker and CamStudio (both free and easy-to-use tools), but still trying to improve the quality. 

This is my very first video recording and cutting, so please be considerate ;) 
Planning to add more videos step by step later. Hope to encourage others to do the same (on complementary topics).
