Since the last post, I have been quite busy with assignments and a final year project. Even though there was a 3-week school break after all these, I have sacrificed it to start my new project called Android Push Contacts.
This project makes use of the newest feature on Android 2.2 called C2DM which allows Android device to receive push messages from third party applications. Initially I was only planning to push contacts to Android phones from a Chrome Extension, however I ended up having a better idea which is sending SMS from a website. Total period of time I have spent for this project was around 2 weeks thus I was left with only 1 week to enjoy my holidays plus study for the exams.
In the end the exams weren't that difficult as I expected. I could have performed better if I've gotten more time to prepare for it. As soon as the exams were over, I had to plan for the showcase of RP Open Source Interest Group on Software Freedom Day 2010 which was 2 days ago. Nothing interesting came into my mind so I just decided to showcase my newly-created project which is of course open sourced.
On the actual day, there were quite a number of visitors who were interested into my project and some have even suggested additional features to be added. The event itself wasn't really that successful as I have imagined it to be like, there was no crowd, there wasn't anything interesting, I couldn't feel the open source atmosphere in the event. Luckily, two of my geek friends (Andrew, Cheng Fu) came to accompany me, I would have died due to boredom without them.
Today, I've just created my LinkedIn profile which I wanted to do long time ago. You can check it out here. From now on I'm gonna have a really long holiday break, hope I can learn more about node.js, couchDB and Twisted. Besides IT to do list, I have also decided to get myself buffed up during this holiday, guess I gotta go gym frequently and eat some healthy food
