Android Development with Eclipse SDK on Ubuntu 10.04

Up until quite recently (I think) installing the Eclipse SDK has been something of a burden for people. When I first tried to have a stab at writing some “Apps” for my recently purchased HTC Desire I almost stumbled at the first hurdle. I had real trouble installing what was supposed to be the “simplest and fastest” way into Android development.

I had problems from the word go. I downloaded Eclipse and then couldn't get it to work because my Java wasn't configured correctly. When I configured my Java it turned out to be the wrong version of Eclipse that I had downloaded. Then I couldn't for the life of me manage to install the Android Development Tools (ADT) plug-in. All in all, it was a shambles! I finally got it working in the end but I was so angry that I hardly touched it and a few weeks later I deleted everything.

Facbook colour hacks

So, what a better way to start this newly revamped site but with some good for nothing hacks that may keep you occupied for a little while. Having taken the idea from here I decided to play with the colour ones. I have updated them and added some of my own.

New Look

Welcome to the revamped cj13579.homelinux.org! I think that you will agree with me that it is much better than the old one. I have decided that I will put some effort into this one and  (but don't hold me to this) regularly update it.

I don't know what I am going to be writing about yet. I am thinking that it is going to have a technological focus. I will probably use it to showcase some projects that I am either working on or have in the pipeline. Or just stuff that I discover and wish to share with anyone who will care to read it.

Anyway, that's enough from me for now.

Enjoy the site please. That is after all, what it is there for.
