You must be *this* smart to post a comment.

I am 20 years old. I have been using the internet since 1995. I have used the internet as a great source of information and knowledge for many years. I remember using Usenet to follow intelligent discussions and I really appreciated the high quality of the discussions. As time went on, though, more and more average, non tech-savvy people began to access the internet. Unfortunately, with the addition of the masses to the internet, came trolling and the real risk of stupid people feeling the need to contribute their input to any and every discussion – even if they knew nothing about it – and the worse: when they thought they knew something about it....

MoosTrax for Android

I just recently replaced my BlackBerry 8800 with a T-Mobile G1. This means that its time to develop a MoosTrax client for Android devices. Right now I’m getting my Android development environment setup, with the insanely slow Java powered Eclipse. After that I’ll dig into the location API and get a MoosTrax client released.

Tweet Me?

I am now starting to use Twitter…it actually seems kind of cool. At first I was thinking it was more like Facebook status…but now I’m realizing it might be good for whenever I just have a random thought…to tweet it. http://twitter.com/xoclipse

MoosTrax Site Down

Unfortunately the site has been down for quite a while, as I’ve been working on moving lots of server resources around. I’m waiting on the last thing to move right now, which should be done within the next 24 hours. Thank you all for being so patient! Update 12/23/08 7:30 PM EST: I just checked the status of the migration and its really close(hopefully in the next few hours!). Update 12/23/08 10:30 PM EST: I’m still waiting…I’m going to check in the morning… :(

MoosTrax Site Launch

Well, its finally time. BlackBerryTracker.com will be no more on October 31, 2008. I have been working on a brand new site, MoosTrax.com, which will resume the tracking services previously offered by BlackBerryTracker. This site should be a little more user friendly, and much more stable, as I’m aware that quite a few people were having issues with the BlackBerryTracker site. Currently, the new site has Live Tracking, History, and a Facebook Application....
