On the Verge...

I have held out on this weeks blog as long as I can and unfortunately I was not able to get everything done that I had planned. If anything, it might prompt some visits to my web site.

I have finished a beta version of the MLX (mobile learning experiment) tool. I have talked about this tool in the blog and on the mobileDot web site. It will let you create a single page that will display on a PC or mobile device. I have set it up for deployment so that anyone who would like to give me feedback and suggestions can. I am asking that I receive and email before I give the executable out. You need a Microsoft Windows device capable of running Microsoft .Net 3.5.

I have been also using the tool to prepare some content for my GCC Spring 2009 classes. I am going to be adding a web page on my mobileDot web site that will show you some of the examples I have come up with so far. It is using the tool and more fully testing features (and adding enhancements that have been slowing me down. It is hard to decide what is enough function for the beta when I know I can fix this and that to make it better. Decisions... decisions. Worst case I will be announcing its availability for others to use this weekend.

This week, I will also be returning to a new project for my sabbatical called pocketCourse. A .Net application that delivers all course content on a PDA.

This is a short blog for this week. I will post another short one when the MLX code is available for download.

p.s. For you cell phone guru's, G1 (T-Mobile Android Cell Phone) was available for purchase yesterday (10/22). Not the fanfare of iPhone but there is quite a bit in the press (even the bad economy and politics couldn't drown it out!
