The last few days echoecho app for Windows Phone is featured in Windows Phone Marketplace (that means a lot of downloads). This is a great opportunity to write a bit about that – something I was planning to do for a while, but never found the time. (What else is new?) Continue reading...
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...
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...
Although I don’t use WordPress on my blog, I find very interesting that now it can store data in SQL Server database, either free SQL Server Express or some advanced version. PHP is still a requirement (I’m pretty sure that this will not change), but now you don’t have to install MySQL database on Windows (although it’s quite straightforward, using Web Platform Installer). But, the key point here is a support for SQL Azure – scenario that can enable high-traffic sites to use Wordpress with no performance issue (at least not from the database point of view).

There are many Silverlight developers in Croatia, but they usually work on some internal / private business application. There are also some public projects that can be viewed by everyone, so I feel it’s important to list them in one place. If you know any other Croatian Silverlight application not listed here, please let me know. Continue reading...
I’ve developed Wall of Silver in Silverlight version 3, and Moonlight (Linux version of Silverlight) supports only a number of features from 3rd version. I wasn't sure if my Wall of Silver would work on Linux or not. Continue reading...
It all started about a year ago, on last WinDays conference in Opatija when I had a cup of coffee with guys from Shout’em (that’s how we do business in Croatia :-)). We talked about Silverlight and they asked me to build an application that will show shouts (“tweets” from Shout’em network) on the big screen during concerts, events etc. Essentially, a “twitter” wall for Shout’em. Unfortunately, at least for me, they eventually decided to develop the application themselves in WPF if I recall correctly. Wrong choice if I may add, but no hard feelings :-) Continue reading...
