Embedded in Cork

Jeremy Faller’s neat little C++ logger reminds of a powerful logger that I’ve been using for Windows Smartphone. (Despite the fancy debug tools that come with the likes of Visual Studio for developing on Windows Smartphone the use of a whole IP stack over active sync is just a little too intrusive for real time debugging.)

On the subject of Windows Smartphone, Windows Mobile 6.0 comes with built in support for SD card encryption. WM 6.0 will also support remote and local wipe . Good news for the growing amounts of sensitive data being placed on smartphones.

Wouldn’t it be great to be working in Silicon Valley and be able to go the Embedded Systems Conference? You even get to hear Al Gore give the key note speech!

Jack Ganssle has some comments on comments and I don’t mean blog comments. The approach I adopt when it comes to commenting is to first of all write the function design using Program Design Language and turn the PDL into the comments.

Finally thanks to Damien Mulley for the plug on his excellent (and widely read) blog. Like many other bloggers in Ireland my interest in blogging owes a lot to his tireless (or tiring!) work.
