Android Device Exchange

Posted on March 10th, 2010 in Android News,Site News by Disconnect  Tagged , , , ,

Everyone has heard about Google’s Device Seeding Program. (Yes, it’s real.) So in the next few weeks (days? months?) lots and lots of people will be getting a nice 2nd-gen Android device. Except… nobody gets to choose their device. Google will send either a Nexus One or a Motorola Droid, at random. That is somewhat bad news – if you have T-mobile and bought a G1 on a 2 year contract, it will cost a hundred bucks to get out. VZW is (reportedly) even higher.
So what is a hardworking dev to do?
Here is Android Device Exchange to the rescue – hook up with other owners, device-seed recipients, etc and buy, sell or trade your devices!

Some Slowness, For A Good Cause

Posted on February 11th, 2009 in Site News by Disconnect  Tagged , , ,

I’ve finally got a proper files mirror going, so things will be a little slow while I upload all the files. Once that is done, however, expect things to be fast fast fast :)

(Update: Most files are uploaded now, so we should be good. And I got JF to fix his links, which were causing much of the unexpected trouble..)

Newsfeeds!

You may notice some new stories appearing – I’ve added newsfeed syndication.  Any stories acquired that way will be in the “Android Newsfeed” category. (And once I get some time, they will have something like “NEWS:” prepended to the title..)

Also, welcome our first active site member Vitriolix, who has started posting his Android-related stuff to his site.

Sorry for the downtime..

I hate mysql so bad.

Once again with the laptop doom

Posted on January 11th, 2009 in Site News by Disconnect

Yes, I’ve got stuff for you guys..but I’m once again felled by the stupid macbook pro. (No video at all. Yes, this is the same thing I originally took it in for when the hdd died. No, I’m not amused.)  Hopefully I can get it fixed without a 4 week wait. But… :(

Welcome to the Android Blogging Network!

I’ll still be posting all my goodies, and soon so can you. (Want to help test it out? Let me know..) In the meantime, I’m sorry to say that since there is no good migration path, all the user accounts and comments are gone. (For that matter, content was all moved manually. Yeah. That sucked.) So.. sorry. :(

Clean Slate

So I got tired of arguing with a broken database and dealing with an outdated version of Drupal. So I killed 2 birds with one stone – we’re now running on Drupal6 and a clean, working database. Please enjoy the ride. :)

Let me know (in comments) if there are any problems. (Also, note that I enabled OpenID so you don’t have to have Yet Another Account just for posting here..)
