  • TwBirthday.com has reached 10k followers

    Sep 29 2011 9:18 AM

    It has been a year since I’ve launched my TwBirthday.com project. The basic idea is very simple – if you enter your Twitter username, you’ll find out when have you started using Twitter (that’s your TwBirthday), your age index and your Twitter godfather. Continue reading...

  • All Windows Phone InputScope Screenshots

    Jul 11 2011 10:23 AM

    There are 62 different keyboard layouts supported in Windows Phone. They’re enabling a great user experience for a user, but it’s really hard to choose the best one for a developer. So I’ve prepared an overview of all available input scopes. Continue reading...

  • Free e-book: Silverlight for Windows Phone

    Feb 4 2011 9:16 AM

    Puja Pramudya from Microsoft Innovation Center in Indonesia has written a e-book about Windows Phone application development. To tell you the truth, I haven’t read it (yet), but it seems quite good, especially for the beginners. Be aware – this is not one of that 20-page e-books, it has more than 150 pages and at the end, there are two step-by-step tutorials for developing two sample applications, from “start Visual Studio” to the final touch. Continue reading...

  • Windows Phone 7 Accelerometer Test App

    Dec 9 2010 7:25 AM

    Aww, what a title. It’s quite simple, actually. The first thing I’ve done when I got my first WP7 device was testing it’s accelerometer. As you may know, accelerometer cannot be used in emulator (actually, there is a way, but that’s not it – I want to move some hardware around the air and rotating monitor does not work). Continue reading...

  • Announcing Silverlight 5

    Dec 6 2010 7:09 AM

    There is not much I can write about next version of Silverlight that hasn’t been written somewhere else, but I feel like I must mention it on my blog, simply because it’s – great! Continue reading...

  • How to pronounce my name?

    Nov 24 2010 3:43 PM

    Sorry about this, but since a lot of people have problem with this, I need to publish it somewhere, and personal blog seems like a logical choice. I’ll keep it short and simple. Continue reading...

  • Physics in Silverlight

    Oct 1 2010 8:29 AM

    Few days ago I’ve stumbled upon a Farseer physics engine for Silverlight and XNA. It looks very promising, but I didn’t get time to play with it (yet). The library itself deserves a post (I’ll probably write one in the future), but this time I want to write about another library, helper library based on the same physics engine. It enables us to do games and stuff without using a single line of code! All made with Blend behaviors! Continue reading...

  • Mobility Day drawing apps – Silverlight to WP7

    Sep 30 2010 11:43 PM

    Last week I attended a (great) conference Mobility Day and organizers asked me to build a small Silverlight application for prize giveaway at the end of the day. Every participant had a number at the back of their ID card and if the wheel stopped at your number, the prize was yours. Application itself is very simple and it took me maybe an hour to build it from scratch. The important thing is that it can be run from any computer from the web, and the total number of participants can be set via URL, like this: http://demo.dizzy.hr/mobilitydaydrawing/?max=333. To use the app, first focus it and then expand to full screen with F11 key. Wheel can be started and stopped by mouse click or space key. Not really a smart application, but useful and attractive.

  • My new project – TwBirthday.com

    Sep 25 2010 9:31 AM

    After successful Bing-Vs-Google.com that compares search results from Bing and Google side by side, and very popular WallOfSilver.net, a Twitter wall used on many conferences and events around the world, few day ago I’ve launched another project called TwBirthday. The basic idea is very simple – if you enter your Twitter username, you’ll find out when have you started using Twitter (that’s your TwBirthday), your age index (your Twitter age compared to Twitter’s first tweet – March 21, 2006) and your Twitter godfather, a person you have followed the first. TwBirthday doesn’t require authentication nor it will send any tweets on your behalf, but it will remind you of your twbirthday when that day comes – it will post a tweet starting with your username, so you can see it in your mentions feed. Furthermore, if you follow @TwBirthday on Twitter (please do :-)), you will see when your friends celebrate their birthdays in your timeline. Continue reading...
