Update to Jovial Clipboard (My 2nd C# Freeware Project)


I've promoted Jovial Clipboard from alpha stage to beta.
Which means essential features are all in.

Clips entries have also been increased to 20.
Deletion of individual entry is also added in this version.

In the next version, which I will probably strip off the "beta" tag, I'll add in the saving of Clips to storage.


Here's the URL to this freeware of mine:

My 2nd C# Project

Continuing the great momentum of my recently-released C# project, "Jovial Notepad", I've started on a new "Jovial" C# program.
It will still be a small little utility.
I will be releasing as "per-alpha" release to sourceforge.net tonight.
I think this will also be a useful freeware to all.

The Hunt for the Best Portable Tablet Writer

Today, 14th July 2013, Microsoft slashes its ill-fated Surface RT tablet by as much as 30% (US$150) for the 16GB model.

This news is of utmost interest to me.  I've been hunting for the past weeks on a good bluetooth keyboard casing for my iPad 3rd Gen.

I've bought and tried this one as shown below.



I ditched it eventually due to its non-attached design, making it very clumsy to use.


I may not type alot on the iPad, but when I really need to type, e.g. for emailing or blogging, I would wish a hardware keyboard is there.

Then comes Microsoft Surface RT.  It looks sleek.  It is sleek.
With the "Touch Keyboard" or "Type Keyboard" attached, it's a perfect dream mobile writer for me.





I know I have to get it.  But with a price tag of Singapore Dollars $668 for the 16GB model and not including the keyboard, it's never a sound deal to make.  I'll wait.

The big news came 2 days ago when I read that Microsoft is slashing its RT price by US$150.  To convert to Singapore dollars, that's around S$180, thus making the 16GB model pricing at around S$480!

The new price has not been announced for Singapore market yet.  But at S$480, I will make the dash for it!

Can't wait!
