    Posted on July 15th, 2014 | 7 Comments

    Like too many people these days I tend to spend a lot of time on my phone. It's a tough habit to quit. So is playing DotA, my favorite game. Allow me to take you back over the past 3 weeks of getting to know Android development (I'll try to skip through some of the boring parts).

    I recently launched an idea I had been thinking about for quite some time called Problem of the Day.

Most of the problems are meant to be solvable over breakfast, lunch, or whenever you have some free time.

By default meteor places the MongoDB database inside the application folder. I use a shared folder on a Windows host with an Ubuntu Virtualbox for my development environment.
