Titanium: Javascript Error Dialog for Android

To help identify errors in Titanium javascript source I added a popup dialog that reports the location of the error, the error, and the source of the error. It should make it easier to track down errors that occur in your javascript when you're developing. The iPhone edition has had a similar dialog for a while

SXSW Hack: Use Evernote to Grab Badge Info

Sitting around talking with @iMediaMichelle about how to grab badges when you can't recover your my.sxsw.com password. It dawned on me that I could take a photo of the badge from my mobile evernote client and have a more useful record of the meeting than the plain QR Code.

With Evernote I would have much more information available to me:

  • GPS Coordinates of the meeting
  • Text recognition for the person's name and/or company
  • Ability to scan the QR code at a later date from the image
  • Make notes on the encounter
  • Tag it with the event. In this case #sxsw

 

I use the Android client so I selected the Snapshot button.

 

Took a picture of @marshall_law's badge and then filled in the note.

 

After the photo synced to the cloud, I pulled it up in my OSX Evernote client and verified that I could scan the QR code if I wanted it in the future. Notice the coordinates, tag, photo information that I've gained, plus having the badge image as I saw it. It'll be easier to remember the person later.

SXSW: Do you believe it?

A "kid" handed me this card and said. "Dude the internet is 25 years old, can you believe it?" Almost said, "Dude, um yeah, look at me, I'm even older than the Internet."

Amazon.com: Monster MP Outlets To Go Power Strip: Electronics

I've mentioned this before, but I've met many people at conferences, airports, and other public places by simply being able to allow more folks to charge up their devices. They're small, compact and the cord plugs into one of the sockets so it doesn't snag anything in your bag. It's one of my must have travel accessories.
