The slimSEARCH plug-in for slimKEYS is a beast sometimes difficult to maintain. The number of web sites you can search into evolves with time. Within a slimSEARCH hotkey configuration, you can add predefined search entries using the green plus sign without the yellow sparkle. This will show you a list of all search entries that come with ...

It’s clear to me now. Blogs are for tweets that can’t fit into 140 chars. Often do I find myself with a nice idea that can fit into 140 chars, but that would also benefit to be exposed in greater terms on my blog. But the ease and quickness of posting to Twitter always wins. The art of compressing a message to fit nicely into 140 chars is not ...

It’s been almost 3 months that the Windows Marketplace for Mobile is available for Windows Mobile 6.5 users, and more than a month for 6.0 and 6.1 users. We’re now in 2010, and I thought it was a good time to update my download/purchase stats. Here are my numbers since the beginning:   US CA UK ...

I’m currently testing a Windows Mobile application. I’m doing final tests directly on my real devices. I had my HTC Touch Pro2 phone hooked via USB, and the tests went perfectly. Then, I unplugged it and plugged my old HTC P4000 to make tests on an older device. I pressed F5 in Visual Studio .NET, and checked my P4000’s screen for the usual “Do ...

It could have been the very poor download numbers I’m getting for my three apps on the Windows Mobile Marketplace. It could have been the total confusion I’m seeing within Microsoft about overlapping projects (FolderShare vs SkyDrive vs Live Mesh vs My Phone, Azure vs Live Framework, Win32 vs WinForms vs WPF vs Silverlight, WebForms vs MVC, etc). ...

My friend Odi and I were “chattwitting” about a possible Apple Netbook or Tablet PC, and we didn’t have the same vision about what that computer would look like. I could not imagine there was a big enough market for a Tablet-only computer for the market-savvy Apple. Because I wanted to explore development of multi-touch applications, I didn’t ...

I'm an HTC P4000 owner, and I really like having a phone with a sliding keyboard. I had my eyes on the new HTC Touch Pro for a couple weeks now, but I just noticed (via @wmdev) that HTC released a second generation Touch Pro, called Touch Pro2 (what did you expect for a name?). I have nothing against multiple generations, they are a sign a company ...

I got this by email yesterday. It was too good to leave as an email... And I'm against an email chains, so better start a Twitter chain! ;) And

I wanted to upgrade my SmartFTP 2.5 to version 3.0 to overcome many crashes I get on Vista. Not only did the setup told me my maintenance was expired and had to renew it in order to use the upgrade, it told me the following applications were using files it had to upgrade: You need to upgrade files in use by slimKEYS? Or by xplorer2? I ... ...

This morning, my Google alerts pointed me to this page, a Russian web site talking about a product called SLIMCODE. Google Translate tells me it's a box of capsules for a weight loss program. I'm fine with that. It's normal, on this planet, to have some name collisions, as long as the domains of business are different. Where it hurts a little is ...
