It’s here, in my hands, after so much waiting and waiting, even on D day I was waiting for half an hour in the line and 4 hours inside – waiting for paperwork to be done with some computer glitches on the way. That was 6 days ago and I still need to charge the battery almost twice a day. Already on the second day I got it jailbroken and filled with numerous apps, I’m starting to scale this apps to leave only the ones I will actually use. I’m still in need for few apps like GPS Google Maps where I can track a signal of my selected friends and myself at the same time – count distances and similar.
In overall, I’m very satisfied with the iPhone3G!
I will write about most useful apps now and then.

I’m buying a new 8 Gig USB stick with 20Mb/sec. transfer speed. So, this crazy idea came on into my mind, what if I could boot WindowsXP from a stick, without the need of hard drive, installing apps on a stick, using it as my primary platform. And then, in matter of minutes I was researching the idea and found out that it’s possible, great! But, I hate this “but”.. you must pass trough hell to make it possible, I’ve lost two days trying and I gave up, ain’t worth it – for now! But I hope that one day windows will support this idea, could be very useful.
If you want to make a bootable linux (any distribution) it’s a piece of cake, use liveusb-creator application, select bootable linux iso file, insert USB stick and viola! :) You will have a bootable linux in 10 minutes. Don’t use slow (usb 1.0 or 1.1) flash drives.

Just a small update:
1) upload.hr, we researched and reviewed the idea and decided to close it. Long story! Usually, we don’t quit from started project but this one is just a mistake.
2) crodns.com, old idea, to make a small service for domain availability checking. All Ajax, fast and very very informative. Design is already complete, programming at let’s say 10% :)
That’s all for now. Of course, we have many other client projects but I don’t like to talk about them, not the dev stage, it’s boring :)

Here’s what we did last, it’s redesign of our free hosting service which is from now on a low budget hosting service.
There’s sponsored hosting for 0 Kuna and H-mini hosting package for only 100 Kuna per year, more details on the website.
I hope you like the design, idea is not mine but made (draw/slice/put together) it myself.

Google Krom, as we would say it on Croatian. It’s a new web browser from Google factory. There are many things I can say about it, lots of likes and dislikes so I’d rather wait a month or two for them to upgrade the product then saying anything smart here.
That’s all, just wanted to make a note :)

Hi folks, I can hardly find the time to work on this project so it’s a bit slow but non the less in progress.
Just a small update here, I just made a first “beta” logo for upload.hr portal and here it is:
(fits better in the original header)

UPDATE: Check the other versions, first one is the simple default one..

Actually, it’s a renew. Last portal project was shut down due copyright problems and lack of quality on copyrights laws in Croaita. It was an upload service where you could view all popular file types online without downloading them. Find out more on current old site at http://www.upload.hr
This time, we said “why upload when we can just download” :) so we started to work on a download portal where you can find the most famous software out there on one place, not any app – just the best and most useful. It’s going to be updated daily so you could always find the latest versions of your favorite apps.
Let’s leave in-depth project description for my future posts :).
Yesterday I’ve started writing the database structure so today I could build it and prepare the folders for the project. Cya soon ;)
