Assalamualaikum, First of all, thank you for using TimeToBuka.com. I hope that you have find it useful during this holy month of Ramadhan. The whole idea is to help you (and myself) figure out the time to break fast. In time, I'd like to improve this application but I need your help with that. Help me understand why, how, what makes you find TimeToBuka useful (or not useful). Thank you for

Choosing a location is not easy. You have to consider a lot of things, but 1 major important criteria is the internet speed. After deliberating a few locations in Kuala Lumpur, I've finally come to terms by choosing iTrain as the venue of choice for this inaugural "live" event. They have speedy internets! iTrain, 7th Floor, Block E, Megan Avenue 1, 189 Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur.

Google Code released this periodic view of all the available developer APIs from Google. It's a really cool visual representation in a form that's familiar to geeks. When you hover over the Android (or Mobile) icon, you'll get to see the related APIs in the same category. Got this tip from @ropu, a software engineer from Argentina.

For this Ramadhan, I decided to do something special. I had a problem. Part of the cause of my problem was also due to my short attention span, ADD, or whatever you like to call. The problem was about finding out the breaking fast and Imsak times during Ramadhan. For a while now, I knew JAKIM has been publishing breaking fast times for states in Malaysia. However, they published the timetable in

The most common question I received about Google Wave is how to enabled the user's profile picture. To begin, obviously you need to have a Google Wave account. If you don't have one, you can come for our BoF session this Sunday. Or you can head on to http://wave.google.com and apply for one. Go to your Gmail account settings. You can find the link at the top right hand corner of the Gmail UI.

With a Google account, you can sign up for a number of Google services (e.g. Blogger, Picasa Web Albums, Youtube, ...). Did you know that you can sign up for a Google account without a Gmail address?

Did you know that the Android SDK comes with a number of sample code? The SDK reference is very comprehensive, but it only documents the the various class individually. Examples are very useful in a learning process, it helps us to understand how concepts are translated to code, and how various components work together to accomplish a task. Unfortunately the SDK reference pages lack example.
