My first live wallpaper. (Note: This is a live wallpaper which requires android 2.1. currently only the nexus one has it officially, but other phones should have it soon.)

After choosing the live wallpaper, use the settings menu to choose what folder to pull images from and how often you want the image to change.

If people are still having force close issues, please let me know and if possible post a log using the log collector app in the marketplace.

Current features:

• Adjustable timer
• User specified SD Card folder
• Shifting when switching home pages (screen scrolling)
• Fade transition
• Double tap to change image

Future features:

• more transitions
• ???

Let me know what features you want!

Changelog:

• v0.6 – fixed a force closed bug with John Bibbs’ help (hopefully). Implemented double tapping to change the image.
• v0.5 – implemented a fade transition! ability to turn on and off stretching for users that don’t want it. subsample images that cause out of memory exceptions in attempt to still use them.
• v0.4 – put in the option to choose screen scrolling for those that don’t want it. able to choose the directory via the OI File Manager.
• v0.3 – added screen scrolling. if the picture is smaller than the virtual width, it will be scaled horizontally.
• v0.2 – added settings for timer and folder choice. lots of bullet proofing. if it still force closes, please let me know the circumstances, like what is in the folder you chose, or what you were doing to make it happen, as well as your phone and if you are using any special firmware. added an icon made by http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library

In summary,

Total Cost of Ownership of buying the full priced Nexus 1 : $2173 (can switch anytime, can cut features out of the plan to make it cheaper)
TCO on buying the subsidized Nexus 1:  $2292 (must stay on plan and contract for 2 years or face ETF)

edit: That article also brought to light that if you’ve been in a T-Mobile contract for at least a year, you can switch to the non-contract plan which is $20 cheaper by paying a $35 migration fee. Over the course of a year, that’s saving $20*12 – $35 = $205. I’m doing this tonight.

To all web developers, Google is on it’s way to compiling the ultimate web reference. The project, called doctype, is a wiki containing references and links to existing references on DOM and CSS matters as well as tips and tricks and HOW TOs covering various topics such as browser compatibility or detecting when the user resizes the browser window. One of the main contributors is the dude who runs quirksmode.

This is a new blog. It’ll probably be very nerdy. As in, I want to talk about code.
