While seated and surfing the web on my desktop PC, I had discovered a video that I wanted to view on my tablet while relaxing in my easy chair, the armchair universe.
Since the link was available via my desktop PC browser, I wondered how I would get that URL to my mobile device.
The Microsoft Surface was still on charge, and the Kindle Fire HD7 was already powered on. I could send via the 'Share Page' option on the Kindle Silk browser instance, but that requires yet another Kindle to perform that transfer, and makes the assumption I had located the link on the Kindle to start with. But, . . . I had the reverse to deal with.
Transcribing and re-typing was an option, but I never can get the upper and lower case characters of a tube video correct on the first pass, nor do I relish typing those rather long URL query strings either.
Could send by eMail but that requires a login and send-recv along with attempting to perform that task on a smaller screen without a mouse.
Viola! This is how the LinkSync pass through mechanism was created. As the Kindle allows the saving of an application instance as a launch icon in the favorites and home carousel, it is now simply a select of the favorites icon and a tap on the LinkSync application icon and there is the hyperlink to launch in a new browser tab.
A simple and near elegant solution to send a URL from one PC to a mobile device with a minimal amount of gestures and taps. Nice. Demo available in the Amazon Kindle App Store.

Units of Measure Graphical Conversion Mobile App
Units is a visual web based graphical software calculator application that enables the conversion of a unit of measurement to a corresponding quantity of another unit of measurement using a single finger tap or a single mouse click on the desired graphical unit of measurement representation.

Primarily developed for mobile touch tablet devices and portable laptop PCs with suitable screen real estate to handle the large graphical rendering.
Updated to include multi-language support using Google’s Language Translator, students will find this compendium a suitable reference for day-to-day classroom activities.
Easy to use ‘Tap’ and ‘Swipe’ features for most mobile devices. A selectable search and highlight option allows for easy location of a desired unit within a category containing many units.
Easily view relationships between like factors as the largest unit appears at page top moving towards the smallest unit at page bottom. Display of conversion factors allows one to determine an exact conversion value by simply multiplying each successive number between each desired unit to convert.
Surprise your classmates with your rapid recall using visual imprinted spacial references. Intuitive with no installation necessary.
Available for most mobile touch enabled devices.

This automated software calculator application is based on an original printed work created by Theodore Wildi circa mid 1960′s
Sleuthware Cumulous Tag Cloud Navigation plugin now runs on Google’s App Engine
Posted on August 9, 2012
Currently under test while in a seemingly endless refinement process, Sleuthware is quite pleased with the snappy response while powered under Google’s App Engine. We chose the new experimental ‘Go’ language, sometimes abbreviated as ‘GoLang’ as the foundation of the delivery model. We found the programming learning experience delightful and reminiscent of the good ol’ C++ days coding with structures and pointers. The lack of run-time local file access wasn’t that much of a hinderance as App Engine persists data in a binary stream, a blob, within what is known as the BlobStore and as individual user definable entities within the App Engine DataStore.
Only a minor change became necessary to use our jQuery plugin as is.Testing showed that cross domain web service requests bogged down, making the cloud rendering a visual nuisance. Without the Ajax web service requests, the changing cloud data is merged into the browser DOM using the same Json format, and is much speedier within the same domain using data retrieved from the BlobStore.
With App Engine handling the delivery of the renderable output, we now are able to scale to near limitless multi-user access on a per user basis, using a modest budget. The back end fetching, parsing, and sorting is performed by several Dot.Net web services.
Webster’s defines the following:
Cumulous – adj of, or having the form of, a cumulus, esp. the cloud Cumulus – n a heap, mass, pile
