mproject = mobsessed

Well, mproject is just not a word and I think mobsessed is a better reflection of what I’m doing and my state of mind… Actually wondering whether to rename my blog when I finally get round to changing it. I have a revised delicious feed now. I am finding delicious so helpful for doing this, even though I’m using it in a very chaotic way at the moment, its great to be able to both connect with others doing work in related areas and to look at tags and see connections that you might not have seen without, thus informing thinking in much more interesting ways.

I think I will be putting some kind of brakes on though (only slightly). I feel that I’ve reached a kind of milestone this week with all things mobsessed, bit of a strange one but its - programming is not feeling quite so alien now - I’m still a long way from achieving an application, but some of the basic concepts are making more sense and even though I’m not really creating my own code as such, just mostly still learning from examples, I am mostly able to correct errors and understand better why I made them.

I was hoping to at least to have been able to have done a Hello World with Android this week but had problems downloading the SDK and Eclipse, with a programming language you are editing - you need to reference in your editing environment (e.g. IDLE for Python or Eclipse for Android/Java) where the SDK is and I kept downloading Android and somehow misplacing them so I think I probably have about 4 Android SDKs on the loose somewhere in this laptop but one of them is now referenced from Eclipse !
