Funambol Mobile Open Source

Funambol Mobile Open Source is a mobile open source platform can be used for many types of mobile applications, including push email, PIM data synchronization and device management. It provides C++ and Java client APIs and server side Java APIs.

Funambol consists of several components, including:

  • Funambol Data Synchronization Server: a mobile server providing synchronization services for mobile devices and PC software, as well as push email capabilities.
  • Funambol Connectors: interfaces to various email systems, databases, file systems and applications, for bidirectional data synchronization.
  • Funambol Clients: client software applications that enable users to synchronize email and PIM data (contacts, calendar, tasks and notes) between a wide range of mobile devices and the Funambol server.
  • Funambol Software Development Kit (SDK): a suite of tools to develop sometimes-connected mobile applications on devices in Java (J2SE and J2ME) and C++, and to add data sources to the server.
  • Funambol Administration Tool: a simple graphic tool to administer Funambol installations.
  • Funambol Device Management: an OMA DM server to remotely manage mobile devices.

By reading this practical guide you will learn how to access your email, calendar, contacts, important notes and more by using Funambol. You will be able to sync a large number of online applications with your mobile devices. You will also be able to develop, deploy, and manage any mobile project.

This book will show you how to provide a full-featured PIM synchronization and push email service with Funambol. 
The book covers several components of Funambol such as Data Synchronization Server, Device Management, Client Plugins, and more.   The book is also a great starting point for anyone who aims to extend Funambol by developing their own plugins.
This book was targeted at version 7.1 of Funambol, but is also applicable to version 8.

There are currently 3 articles available online:

Increasing productivity

9780735625846 144x150 Increasing productivityLast week I brought: The Time Management Toolkit: Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Step by Step and Take Back Your Life. (Price: about 17,50 euro)

Why?
Because I found myself too often in a situation where im working all day and do nothing the day afterwards.
I normally spend over an hour sorting out my emails every day. Not to mention another 2 hours of doing everything right away. This meant I often was in trouble to get things done before the deadline.

Yesterday I started to implement the MPS workflow.
I haven`t read the full book but I already implemented several steps like the “2 minute rule” and the “24 hour rule”.
So in case you think i`m slower than normal on responding to emails, I`m not, im just finishing a task first.

Summary after two days:

  • Tasklist is getting fuller
  • Inbox is getting emptier
  • I`ve got everything done for the next 3 days
  • Things are sorted, in my agenda and in my head

Minor

Last monday I started to begin with my minor.

My main question is:
How is it possible to analyse Benzene and MTBE in gasoline using a GC-MS and SPME?

I will split this question up into two seperate parts:

  • Analysing the chemicals (benzene and MTBE) in gasoline by using GC-MS
  • Analysing the chemicals in water and maybe oil with SPME

I will be blogging bits and pieces of results in the next couple of 15 weeks.
