Call me crazy…

but I decided to dive into the world of Blackberry app creation.. more on that as I learn

Blackberry. Mmm good.

Device not fruit. Sure the fruit is good. Makes awesome pies. No I am talking about the device.

I got my first Blackberry last fall and my second this winter. Never going back to another device. Whew!!

I will post some cool stuff about Blackberry as I find it. Just because I can.

Check this out. Pimp My Berry. Free themes and such for any type berry. Very cool. Here’s one I found for my Bold earlier today.  One Classy and Sexy Bold – 9000

A cool new plugin.

Since today seems to be my dy for updating, I might as well tell you about a cool wp plugin I found. It’s call the WordPress Mobile Edition plugin and can be found here. This nifty little add on reformats your blog for mobile users. You won’t notice it in a regular browser like IE or Firefox, but it will be quite obvious if you are using a mobile browser. Of course my cool theme doesn’t show, but the content does. Admittedly, my theme is better than my content at this point but it is a cool plugin. I have only tested it from my WM6 smartphone, but it might be good for a wap enabled phone too. Your mileage may vary.

Cool Firefox add-on

sxipper-banner.png   I hate passwords. Remembering them anyway. Firefox has a decent password function, but I found one step better. Don’t remember where I found this but sxipper.com is a great little add-on. I am using the latest Beta 3.02 and any addons that work with the latest beta are always good. That’s the worst part about new Firefox versions is the loss of the extensions that you come to depend on.

Anyway, this one works and it has some great features. It’s simple to use and even works with complex sites like Bank of America. My favorite feature is the disposable email address generator.Great for the times when you have to sign up but don’t want to use your real email. The temporary can be toggled on and off too. Pretty cool. I have been using it for a few days now and it’s doing just fine. It’s sort of an add on to the built in password saver in Firefox. The only thing that would make it better is a sync function for multiple machines, but I hear that is coming.

From their website

Sxipper also does much more…

  • Always available - appears when needed, so you can log in or fill in forms with a single click
  • Trustworthy - encrypts your personal data and stores it on your computer
  • Accurate form fill - learns from its own users how to complete forms with 100% accuracy
  • OpenID support - provider of phishing-resistant private and public identifiers.
  • Easy to install - pulls data from your address book and browser to give you a head start

Sxipper’s community-driven training tool ensures that Sxipper knows exactly how to fill in forms that it encounters because you, and the rest of the Sxipper user community, show it how. The more forms you teach Sxipper how to use, the higher your skill level.

Sxipper.com, and it’s pronounced like skipper. I think it might be the author’s dog.
