Visual Update

February 2nd, 2011 by Christian No comments »

I’m currently redesigning the blog. I put a first version of the new theme live, but things will still change… I’ll also register a new domain and – tada! It’s now AD-FREE!

Update Feb 10th: I’m doing some tests with the new domain. Currently it’s running, but not as intended to (still got some frame-issues which I don’t want). So in case you see some missing GFX or so, it’s me testing ;)

Drag and drop install APK script

September 30th, 2010 by Christian 1 comment »

Update April 5th 2011: since the latest Android SDK, the adb tool has been moved to the platform-tools folder. I updated the script to point to the correct directory.

If you want to be able to just drag and drop your APK file onto a CMD file, and let it be installed on the connected device automatically, use something like this (simply copy this to your *.cmd file):

New:

:: Just some debug output:
echo Attempting to install file: %1
 
:: Enter drive letter:
d:
 
:: Enter path to adb here:
cd D:\android_sdk on 10.17.1.205\platform-tools
 
:: Install file:
adb install -r %1
PAUSE

Old:

:: Just some debug output:
echo Attempting to install file: %1
 
:: Enter drive letter:
d:
 
:: Enter path to adb here:
cd D:\androidsdk\tools
 
:: Install file:
adb install -r %1
PAUSE

PS: Of course one could use set varNAme=__PATH__ instead of the cd-ing, but my path has some spaces and that leads to troubles.

AaargPimples for iPhone has been released! Check it out at the iTunes Store!

Description:
Paula Pimpleina is a young girl nearly out of puberty with one big problem: pimples all over here face! No matter how many she pops, they just keep coming back. You are her only hope! Prom is coming and she hasn’t found a date yet – no wonder with those chunks sticking around…
It is your task to hunt em down for good: make ‘em pop, burst or splash! Do you have the stuff to become the next “LORD OF PIMPLENESS“?
