Blogpress perfection
Aug 27, 2010 7:24 - 0 Comments
Yesterday saw an update to the iPhone and iPad blogging platform Blogpress that makes it leagues ahead of the competition.
In a recent review of blogging on the go I identified the ability to easily add links as key – and now you can. Not only that you can also do things like insert bold [...]
iPad on tour – Photo Management
Jul 27, 2010 9:55 - 0 Comments
Continuing the theme of ditching the laptop and using only the iPad, at least on holiday, today looking at the iPad as an amateur photographers best friend.
With its massive, bright, screen the iPad is perfect for viewing photos and coupled with the camera kit it is unbeatable. I have been able to hook up [...]
iPad on Tour – Blogging
Jul 25, 2010 18:18 - 1 Comment
As I said in my previous post I am currently away on holiday and have only brought with me my iPad, rather than a laptop of some description. Over the next couple of posts I am going to look at the apps that I have been using for various different tasks, starting with blogging.
I have [...]
Call that Multi-tasking?
Jun 29, 2010 10:12 - 1 Comment
Maybe it’s me but I just don’t get iOS4’s “multi-tasking”. Multi-tasking is supposed to be a time saver not a confusing pain in the arse.
With the introduction of iOS4 you get (limited) support for apps running in the background. Correction! You get support for certain features running in the background, such as streaming music [...]
Sainsbury’s Does Great Moleskine Copy
Jun 7, 2010 8:58 - 5 Comments
If you have been a regular reader of this site you will know that I am a BIG fan of the Moleskine notebooks and always have one close at hand. However, their biggest and probably their only issue, is that they are expensive. When the exchange rate was more favourable I used to stock up [...]
An App Addiction
Jun 2, 2010 20:06 - 0 Comments
I saw an interesting post on JKontherun today that I thought summed up how I feel about applications for the iPhone/iPad exactly. I had intended to post about it using the dedicated Wordpress application which I thought would be fitting, however, I quickly discovered that it is pretty hopeless. Not only is there no [...]
Hands on with the iPad
Apr 23, 2010 15:11 - 1 Comment
So, yes, I know that the web has been full of this over the last few weeks (with only a minor diversion for the next iPhone) and I am late to the game but I only got my first opportunity to get my hands on an iPad today. To be fair there aren’t that many [...]
Upgrading a Three mifi
Apr 19, 2010 10:16 - 0 Comments
Since getting my mifi device last October it has become an indispensible device going everywhere with me. It also recently kept my son connected on a three hour car journey, so is worth the small amount I paid for it for that alone.
But one of the things that has always puzzled me about it is [...]
Google Street View Star
Mar 15, 2010 9:15 - 0 Comments
Last May I wrote about working from home and seeing the Google Street View car pass my house. Now, some ten months later, the results are in and the pictures have been uploaded and there I am at our window, standing like some shadowy Norman Bates.
You can quite clearly see that I am holding [...]
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 [...]
