ha! check it out, a screen shot of bonq from an android emulator. the browser is based off the same webkit (need source) as the iphone’s safari browser. using a mouse i can emulate a finger and drag a proper webpage around to pan and what not.
there isn’t a whole lot in the emulator as far as phone configuration, i did go into the address book and added a new contact. it would be nice to have some way to automatically sync against your google contacts.

it’s even simpler than using cpan for perl. no setup program, not prompts, just some commands and bam stuff gets configured, built, and installed. i’ve played with coding with python before, mostly in dealing with red hat/anaconda installs but this is just too cool. checkout this comment for more info on setting up python.
[ setting up python-twitter for deskbar-twitter for deskbar]
i finally went over to python challenge and i’m sorry i did. i got to problem #3, and it involves a large string and a pretty specific regexp match.
One small letter, surrounded by EXACTLY three big bodyguards on each of its sides.
so i think it’s something like “[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][a-z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]“. up till this point i could solve each riddle w/ very little coding. just unix utilities like grep and tr. oh well. i’ll just get back to it later. gonna have to go dig up some old perl code, or actually start learning python.
ha! figured it out.
really, what am i supposed to do with an answer of ['qIQNlQSLi', 'eOEKiVEYj', 'aZADnMCZq', 'bZUTkLYNg', 'uCNDeHSBj', 'kOIXdKBFh', 'dXJVlGZVm', 'gZAGiLQZx', 'vCJAsACFl', 'qKWGtIDCj'] i had to hop on the forums to figure it out. i did however write a .py to figure it out. whee.
i’m starting to get a little better at writting python code too. too bad urllib takes so long when it’s doing a urllib.urlopen(). i’m waiting for the solution to 4 to be found. it’s gonna take a little while.
