I've started programming an Android app for the Google phone or for that matter any phone that runs Android. Actually, I found a basic program on the Internet and I am changing it to suit my needs and to make it more visually appealing.
It is a basic calculator app but I want it to keep it's memory settings so that the next time it is used they are still there.
When it is done I will put it in the Android marketplace and set up a webpage under Goodyear and Friends.

Revised and Updated WebSite
Well after many years of static website content, I finally upgraded the site and now can edit it directly in a very easy way. It's amazing how the price of site hosting has come down over the years and how powerful the software has become.
The site is powered by MiaCMS and compared to the process I used to have to go through, using this software is extremely easy. The learning curve is steep but I love it.
I want the site to feature the business (Goodyear and Friends) but also want it to be a repository for my Buddhist interests as well as our personal life.

I was getting a lot of freezes which at first I thought were software related but then I remembered it started happening wwhen I put in the new ram so I decided to put back in the old ones to see if the new ones were causing the problem. I noticed after when reconnecting the video that the connector was loose so I tightened that. Now everything is rock solid so tomorrow I will sway out one ram module at a time.

Asus EEE Box B202 Linux
Bought this wonderful little computer from Newegg.ca about a week ago. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220004
The price seems to change with the exchange rate. I tried to find a Canadian supplier before but couldn't, they only carried the Windows version. Since I've been waiting about 8 years for SOMEONE big to sell a computer preloaded with Linux, I jumped on this thing with both feet.
Over the years I think I've paid the Windows tax probably 5 times only to install a different and usually better OS, at first OS/2 and then Linux. The last few years, it's been Ubuntu so when I read that the base system on the EEE Box was Xandros with KDE I was hesitant but went for it anyway cause I figured that this OS would have been customised to run correctly with the Asus hardware. I was never able to get any version of Linux to hibernate or sleep and until this problem is addressed Linux will never fly for laptops.
Anyway, I soon got tired of the Simple Interface and downloaded
advanced-desktop-eeepc_1.0-1_i386.deb
kicker_3.4.2.201-1_i386.deb
ksmserver_3.4.2.201-1_i386.deb
Then I did a Ctrl T to open up a command window and entered
sudo dpkg -i kicker_3.4.2.201-1_i386.deb then
sudo dpkg -i ksmserver_3.4.2.201-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i advanced-desktop-eeepc_1.0-1_i386.deb
I got that info from the EEE PC user forums
http://forum.eeeuser.com
Then I went into the Logout screen of the Easy Desktop and a new button had apppeared that said Extended Desktop or something like that. Pressing it transported me to a more familiar desktop albeit a KDE one rather than Gnome but that's okay. I can live with that. I have installed the things I need and can Hibernate as well. I have to go back to the Easy desktop to Sleep but I don't use it anyway cause the ON/Off blue button is so bright that the flashing kept me awake anyway.
