Gadget Features!
I’ve thrown up a new site over the last week. It’s sole purpose is to track and gather information on the features we all really really need for our gadgets, phones and even operating systems.
Anybody can post a feature idea and can request for products to be added to the site.
Take a look and get voting! What Feature?
Yes, the site is called What Feature … do you know how hard it is to find a good domain name these days ;) I thought I did a fairly good job with that one.

iPhone Battery Tip
Just a quick note about an interesting discovery made for great battery saving on your iPhone, if you’ve been lucky enough to get one :)
Over the last week my battery life was extremely poor but I’d also had quite a few slow downs and lock ups. What is interesting is even if the phone locks up, it seems to recover after a few seconds without a reboot. Well a couple days ago my phone started getting really hot and the battery was dying in about 2 hours with no use …. so I rebooted the phone.
You can do this by holding in the lock button + menu button for awhile either until it just reboots or you pick an option from the system menu that appears.
After rebooting my battery is now lasting almost a full 2 days - I think some background processes get locked up and even though the phone appears to be working “ok” it is sucking down the juice. Worked for me, might work for you :)

Here comes MultiCore
Ok so there is now a special “center column” section on my site for DotNetMultiCore and even a top-level category! so what is it? Well I’m not quite ready to post a lot of details since I’d like to have a downloadable version ready for public consumption but here is a little teaser:
I believe that simple code is strong code but also and more importantly I am lazy and don’t want to write a ton of code each time I decide to put up a site, especially these days when you want to try throw out a prototype site in just weeks or days. I don’t think anyone can argue that Microsoft are taking .NET in a direction which can only result in large, slow and over engineered applications while just piling the features into the framework.
There are some great none .NET technologies around like PHP and Ruby on Rails. Although these days I’m not sure Rails is going anywhere but we shall see. Oh and of course Turbo Gears :) Python is my favorite by the way - anyway …
You can think of DotNetMultiCore as going in the opposite direction to what Microsoft are doing. Which is typical for my personality type too :) It also borrows some of the best features from languages like PHP. It is not going to be a huge framework, remember - simple. Stay tuned for updates as I get time and some real working code soon enough.
I am also working on some real live projects powered by MultiCore (like Mafooku) so it is getting some real world exposure too.
