Travels etc.

I have finally built and installed to the phone my first Android app: It has got the following features at the moment: - call to remote Web service to retrieve data from the database; - display received data in a timeline; - cool floating button; - form to submit data to the Web service. This is also my first ever project to build in Java. My profession is mostly related to Microsoft .NET and this project was an interesting variation from usual. Cool stuff!

On a way to work thought on serious topics. The question came up, how many people live in Alaska? With a click of a button on the phone dictated the question - in a second the phone started speaking to me the info about population of Alaska and showed an interactive chart with historical data and also comparative details. Google rules!
