How Seamless caused Taco Chino to lose $27.23
by irufus on Sep.20, 2011, under Coding, Life, Technology
Taco Chino delivers no further than 1.5 miles away. Seamless understands this and lists them as being within 1.4 miles away. Yet when placing an order Taco Chino is not within the range of delivery despite being eight minutes away. What has gone wrong?
There is a huge difference between driving distances and actual distances:
- Google maps reports the driving distance being greater than 2 miles
- The distance between location and destination is approx. 1.4 miles
Shame on you Seamless coders.

In one night…

I learned how to:
- Write a Hello world app in Android
- Manually configure a device to work with a driver in windows when the driver.inf file “has no hardware information about your device”
- Some android phones have driver software that is only obtainable through bizarre methods.
- Decrypt an APK file to extract XML information
- Use XML information to generate an R.java file in Eclipse
- Debug someone else’s application to get it to run.

According to JChronic if Today was Monday February 7th, “next Tuesday” is Tuesday February 8th. However, in WolframAlpha “next Tuesday” is February 15th and only “this Tuesday” is February 8th.

Hitting a roadblock
by irufus on Aug.17, 2010, under BBBoxee, Projects
I apologize for not posting as many details about my BBBoxee project for the Blackberry. I seem to be able to only contribute a little bit of time into each month which has been very costly.
I seem to keep hitting the same roadblock each month. I keep forgetting that you cannot always see network traffic from the blackberry if you’re sniffing from a wireless connection. This makes it difficult since I will always have to test the XBMC/Boxee detection protocol at home before I can develop the app any further.
Nevertheless I will get back to re-prototyping the handshaking process with plain Java before finally resolving the issue in RIM’s Java.
