My mobile object system

This is what I've been tinkering with for the last couple of weeks. Basically, it's a distributed-object system with persistence based on top of Qt. It allows me to write objects that can be moved from computer to computer and automatically be persisted to disc (or wherever else) - so for example I can log into a site on my tablet in a web browser then move that browser to my desktop PC, keeping my login credentials and page position - something similar to what Engadget calls the continuous client.

Code tarball is here - I've been building it using android-qt's branch of qtcreator on Kubuntu 10.10. It's very definitely a prototype and does not (obviously) represent production-quality code.

Detailed description is in the tarball and also here.

Purpose of this blog

I'm a British software engineer living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My day job involves embedded Linux and Qt in an automotive context, but I get up to a variety of hobby projects in my spare time, mostly related to Linux, robotics and Android. I decided having a dedicated blog to document such things without boring my non-technical friends to tears might be a good idea.

First up, I'll be posting shortly about my project of the last few weeks, a system for cross-platform mobile objects based on Qt.
