Mashup University – Intel Mashup Demo. Making Mashups Mobile.

After a tasty lunch it’s back to the mental grindstone. Intel introduces the creators of a mashup they built over the past few weeks. I’m not getting everybody here but he intros: Jeff Barr (Amazon), Mike Fisher and Ben (founders of Elephant Drive, an online backup and storage company). Sean Casey and — (Intel).

Elephant Drive outlines the demo task:

Identify a real business problem
Identify mashup enabler APIs
Show the code and demo

Problems – lost power and connectivity and ?

Intel’s Mobility SDK helps solve these and was easy to integrate. Ben introduces the code, which I’m pretending to grok right now using the classic developer conference intense-stare-and-nod-at-presenter-even-though-you-have-no-idea-what-
they-are-talking-about. I shall coin this as the WTF-DEV mode.

OK, they are now showing the very nice user interface which allows you to set threshold. When reached the application will pause things so you don’t lose data.

  4. Hi Joe,

    Apologies for the stumbling around in our presentation. Upon disabling my wireless adapter, the ElephantDesktop application and Intel Mobility Platform performed as they were designed to (pausing the application) but I was surprised by the wireless adapter’s failure to recover upon re-enabling, which the remainder of the presentation was dependent on. Further hilarity ensued when I attempted to switch to a cable connection plugged into… nothing.

    We’re going to be going back through our integration both with Intel and Amazon during the “Speed-Geeking” sessions and are hosting a discussion on mashing in enterprise applications (“Mashing Down” http://wiki.mashupcamp.com/index.php/MashDowns_-_How_to_Improve_Desktop_and_Enterprise_Software_by_Mashing_Up). Hope you will join us for either or both…

    Cheers,

    Ben Widhelm

  5. No problem Ben – I hope I didn’t sound critical as connectivity is tough even here in the digital heartland. See you later at the conference..
