Oh Hello, Android Studio

Now how on earth did I miss this puppy? Well that's twice this week I've missed out on knowing something about Google (This and also my quick US Weather Alert system for tornado watches and tornado warnings - will post about this at a later date though)

Now when I'm fiddling around and programming for my Android phone, I usually use Eclipse as my IDE and use it with the Android SDK (API Level 8 and API Level 15 for Android 2.2 and Android 4.0.3 respectively), however upon searching around the internet for some tutorials... [read more]

May 2012 Website Stats

Hello June! Only feels a day or two ago that it was turning May and my oh my don't the months seem to fly by now (probably because I'm starting to get older - urgh), anyways, because I like to be public about things I thought I'd publish my website stats for May 2012 on here so you can all have a ganders.
