How to waste a weekend

For some reason that I can no longer recall, I decided that I needed an RPN calculator for my cell phone. The calculator that Nokia provides is ok, I guess, but I thought I could do better. So I spent the weekend brushing up my J2ME and hacking away at it. Upon sharing this information with my coworkers, who I thought would be at least *curious*, the response I got mostly consisted of them staring at me and trying to figure out why I would bother.

Although I did find another j2me calculator Stak, I didn’t the UI would work well on my cell phone. I’m sure others would find my UI cumbersome, but the primary consumer of this application was designed to be myself.

If you want to try it out, you can point your cell phone to http://pablo.averbuj.com/rpncalc.wml or download the jar file here. If anyone wants access to the source, just contact me.
