mobile247's development blog

i hate to admit it but more often than not i over estimate my capacity to remember things. as a result, while working on a project, if i run into an issue i've solved before i can't remember the solution and i hate wasting time time doing research that i've already done before. this blog will be my attempt to address this problem. i will blog about all the tips, tricks, problems, solutions, resources, and references i encounter when on a development project. hopefully, this won't be a one time thing. well, we'll see... =)
