Clipping to Evernote from iPhone Safari Browser
Jan 17, 2010 18:16 - 0 Comments
One of my favourite tools is Evernote, the note taking application. I regularly find snippets of information on the internet that I want to retain and come back to later. Evernote provides a number of tools that sit in the browser allowing you to clip directly to your account. This is enormously helpful and […]
Your Own URL Shortener
Jan 11, 2010 11:35 - 0 Comments
URL Shorteners are all the rage these days what with bit.ly, tinyurl.com, flic.kr and the rest. They take the incredibly long URLs that are generated from tools such as Wordpress and turn them into something shorter and more manageable. So, for example, the URL for my last post on my top tech of 2009 […]
Top tech of 2009
Jan 7, 2010 18:52 - 2 Comments
For the last few years Michael Arrington has been producing a list of the top tech that he has regularly used in each year and I thought this year I would give it a go. So this is the technology that I used day-in, day-out in 2009 and could not do without.

BBC iPlayer on Nintendo wii
Dec 14, 2009 20:44 - 0 Comments
The BBC has been doing a sterling job with its iPlayer making it available in all sorts of places. I had an opportunity to try out the Nintendo wii implementation over the weekend and I was pretty impressed.
To date all my iPlayer watching has been done on a computer of some description or another (or […]
Online EPS Viewer
Dec 11, 2009 13:08 - 0 Comments
I love timesavers like this.
EPS files are great for high quality graphics and are essential for press ready artwork but viewing the files can be a real pain. Typically you need a high end Adobe product or a specialised viewer which I don’t want to have to install just for the odd occasion when […]
My Space? Your Space More Like

Really interesting article in the FT yesterday about the rise and fall of MySpace drawing a (contrasting) comparison to the current web sensation Facebook.
I have to admit that while I really struggled with the point of Facebook but I have never got MySpace. Not at all. Ever.
Potentially I can see Facebook being a real […]
TweetCloud

I have covered word clouds before when I looked at the service Wordle. Another, similar, service has popped up over the last few days offering a similar service for your Tweets, tweet cloud. Having pointed it to my Twitter stream @spokenlikeageek (you are following me, right?) it produced the graphic on the left showing the […]
So Now What?
Oct 14, 2009 21:10 - 0 Comments
So I received my invitation to Google Wave today and for a full thirty seconds there was much excitement as if I’d had an invite to the party of the year. So I logged in and then the realisation hit me that I have no one to connect to on the service and not […]
Unfuddle for iPhone
Aug 28, 2009 11:35 - 1 Comment
I have been using Unfuddle for a while now with a number of my clients. To quote Unfuddle themselves it is a “secure, hosted project management solution for software development teams.”
Depending on your level of membership, which start at free, you get ticketing, time tracking, messages, subversion or git hosting, notebooks and milestone tracking. […]
Simple Mind for the iPhone
Jul 21, 2009 15:43 - 0 Comments
I attended an event today, hosted by the Thames Valley Innovation and Growth team, on developing iPhone applications. A couple of Apple employees were on hand to walk us through the process and answer any questions.
When I have attended these sort of events in the past I have tended to take notes in my […]
