A slightly better blogger post editor

One of the bad things about Blogger is the bad post editor. Today I found out I can choose a slightly better editor. Enable it in Basic settings:
The editor is bit better on image handling. But I'm not quite happy with it since I cannot choose 100% image size. 100 % is the only size that screen shoots look nice.

One thing I still miss is a feature to include source code.

Time to upgrage eclipse when @Override does not work

When using an old version of Eclipse 3.2.1 from September 2006 I got this type of error:
The method actionPerformed(ActionEvent) of type NAME_OF_CLASS_AND_METHOD must override a superclass method

The class had this definition:
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

The problem was solved when upgrading to a newer version of Eclipse (3.5). I'm guessing the support for the @Override annotation was a bit limited.

Started with Android

I've started to learn to program Android. From about two weeks of programming I have one good thing and and bad thing to say:

Good: The programmer has a great deal of freedom. For example I can create a program to replace the Home/Start screen application. I can also access all the hardware (for example GPS, SMS, sensors).

Bad:
Not to good documented yet. There are many classes in API that lacks documentation and you have to guess how to do things.
