The only One

Some high quality pictures of new HTC flagship device - the One.Many people already asked me about the colors of HTC One and which one is better. I was holding both versions side to side and in reality silver one looks better in my opinion. On the pictures, the black one looks very good too, but when holding a silver HTC One you can see how the aluminium zero-gaps body is shining and it looks really gorgeous. Black version doesn't reflect...

How to build a multi-touch control for Windows Phone

     What I intend for multi-touch? Windows Phone is already a multi-touch device but for some reason (I guess it is legacy of Silverlight) the standard Xaml controls don’t have a real multi-touch behavior. Real multi-touch means that I should be able to interact with two different objects at the same time with multiple fingers. What happens now for the XAML standard controls is that once a control start receiving touch events (ManipulationStarted,...

Writing to log.nsf via Formula, LotusScript or Java

While debugging @Formula code I was using a lot of @StatusBar command to output values in status bar to debug. But the status bar in Lotus Notes shows only around 20-30 last entries. I was looking for a way to write that information to my local log.nsf where I could see the entire trace and analyse it. That's when I ran into this post on Notes/Domino 8.5 forum. It says that by adding LogStatusBar=1 to your notes.ini all the messages that get printed to status bar will be written to log.nsf. And problem solved!As this method writes every...

Update the HTC Mazaa to Windows Phone 7.8

 HTC Mazaa was the first ever Windows Phone to run the 7.5 build of the OS. It is a really great development device (as performance it is somewhere between the gen 1 devices and the gen 2 devices) but unfortunately it haven't received any updates since the RTM release build 7.10.7720.68. If you still have RTM build on it you will probably see that you are not even able to access the Store anymore. The bad news is that it will not receive...

How to use Team Foundation Service with MonoDevelop

  As you probably know Team Foundation Service team announced a few days ago full support for Git protocol. This was AWESOME news for our small company that needed a FREE source control solution for our MonoTouch and Mono for Android projects. We were already using visualstudio.com for our Windows Phone and Windows 8 projects and previously to Git support in TFS we had an in-house svn server but I was not really happy with it....
