May 14, 2012 17:01 - 0 Comments
A while back I posted a brief note about the Cregle iPen, a result of my first foray into Kickstarter. At that point I hadn’t had much chance to try out the pen and said I would come back and do a proper review at a later date and this is it. I was attracted [...]

Already the most funded project ever on Kickstarter the Pebble Watch for iPhone and Android has now passed the $10 million mark – 100 times the amount it was aiming to raise.

Hack Attack!
May 1, 2012 12:43 - 0 Comments
You may have noticed that the site was off line for a period of about a week early last month which was the result of an attack by hackers. I have no idea why they would be interested in my site in particular other than it was there and it represented a small challenge. The [...]

Apr 27, 2012 8:03 - 0 Comments
So this week Google finally got round to releasing its cloud storage option, Google Drive.

WordPress “Plugin upgrade Failed” Solution
Apr 4, 2012 23:17 - 0 Comments
One of the (many) things I like about WordPress is its ability to be able to automatically upgrade both the core installation and the plugins. This can also be one of the most frustrating part of WordPress too. Those that have attempted to update their plugins using the automatic option may well be familiar with [...]

>Google has really pulled out all the stops for April 1st this year – you can see all of them here but my personal favourite is Chrome Multitask Mode – it looks so useful! However, the best of the lot today has got to be a reworking of the family favourite Hungry Hippos for iPad. [...]
Moleskine Addiction

If my addiction to electronic gadgets is bad then my addiction to Moleskine notebooks is much, much worse. Despite being able to take notes in Evernote I still like the feel of paper and Moleskines look and feel great. What’s more they do a load of really great limited editions as you can see from [...]
An Unexpected Apple Feeling
Mar 28, 2012 22:53 - 0 Comments
I have become something of an Apple convert of late making the switch (at home at least) from PC to Mac. This has also extended to my mobile devices, as has been well documented here. Funnily enough Apple have been great during the buying cycle for all my “i” products but recently I have had [...]
