That Was Fun, Done With The Lenovo Carbon X1, Back to GSD!

That Was Fun, Done With The Lenovo Carbon X1, Back to GSD!

By Adron Hall on October 22, 2013

Over the last couple of months I’ve been double laptoping it. I’ve had a Lenovo Carbon X1 with Windows 8 and Ubuntu dual boot configuration with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and i7 and I had a Mac Book Air (MBA) 8GB, 512GB SSD and i7 Proc. The MBA was my primary work machine with the […]

Introducing Junction

Introducing Junction

By Adron Hall on August 21, 2013

I’ve officially kicked off a new project from my notebook of projects based around building a Riak admin, data manipulation, reporting and news tool for Windows 8. If you want to jump right to the project, here’s the Github Pages Site, the Github Junction Repo and eventually I’ll have it listed in the Windows 8 […]

Banning the Phablet…  with the Samsung ATIV with Keyboard.

Banning the Phablet… with the Samsung ATIV with Keyboard.

By Adron Hall on July 9, 2013

Ok, in the end, let’s just call these things tablets. I know there is the attempt to call these phablets, but that’s so freakin’ stupid. They’re called tablets Microsoft. Just go with the flow. Here’s an unboxing, initial application viewing & a bit more via video. I’ve broken this review into three sections; A Video […]

Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch :: Opening, Setup and Failure

Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch :: Opening, Setup and Failure

By Adron Hall on July 5, 2013

Yesterday I received my X1 Carbon Touch from Amazon. First part of this whole adventure is that I sent it to my old address in one part of town so that led to a little sleuth action to track it down. After a short bike ride up the street I arrived and the office staff …

Actually, Cars that Fly and Float May Not Be So Bad

Actually, Cars that Fly and Float May Not Be So Bad

By Zoli Erdos on October 26, 2012

Apple CEO Tim Cook left behind his old metaphor of “fridge and toaster” and is now calling Windows 8 a car that flies and floats, while not exactly doing either function very well. I am not exactly a Win8 fanboy, but there are a few (emphasis on few) things Win8 is doing well: informative tiles […]

Apple iOS / OS-X vs. Windows 8 / RT == OS Goulash & Predictions

By Adron Hall on October 24, 2012

All These Thoughts Derived at Seattle Coffee Works in Downtown Seattle, a good place to enjoy the use of an iPad or Windows RT Tablet. Ok, I’ll admit it, I have a soft spot in my heart for Windows 8. At least in the tablet form. I honestly prefer it over the iPad model of […]

Thor Project Opens Up, Building the Cloud Foundry Ecosystem with the Community

By Adron Hall on September 17, 2012

The Iron Foundry Team are big advocates of open source software. We write code across all sorts of languages, just like many of the development shops out there do. Sometimes we’re heavy on the .NET, other times we’re all up in some Java, Ruby on Rails, spooling up a Node.js Application or something else. So …

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Metro App Building on Windows 8 Part 1

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Metro App Building on Windows 8 Part 1

By Adron Hall on August 20, 2012

I’m a fan of JavaScript and I’m warming to some of the Metro interfaces on Windows 8. I’ve always found the Windows 7 Phone UI, which is the first iteration of the Metro UI, to be a very slick phone interface. So with this blog entry I’m going to lay out setting up a default […]

Windows 8: My First Impressions

Windows 8: My First Impressions

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 17, 2012

This week Microsoft announced the release of 90 day free trial of Windows 8 Enterprise targeting developers. I had a chance to play around with it and thought I will share my first impressions here.
