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 [...]
Business Card Reader for iPhone
Dec 3, 2009 16:20 - 0 Comments
Like so many people I still get plenty of business cards and despite many attempts to replace them with something a little more up-to-date nothing has succeeded so far (and won’t in my opinion until there is a common standard). Actually I like business cards but entering the details from them into my contacts can [...]
MacBook Pro
Nov 8, 2009 14:53 - 3 Comments
One thing that I particularly like about the MacBook Pro is its grunt. Even though mine is the bottom of the range model it has far more processing power than my old Windows desktop allowing me to rip DVDs in minutes rather than hours. This processing power has led me to make the MacBook [...]
The Gadget Show Apps
Oct 15, 2009 13:38 - 0 Comments
On the Gadget Show this week they had an interesting challenge. Suzy and Jason were pitted against each other to produce an application for a mobile device. The winner would be the one that got the most downloads.
After almost 30 seconds of deliberation they both chose to develop an application for the iPhone, simply because [...]
WifiPhoto for iPhone
Oct 8, 2009 15:49 - 0 Comments
Getting pictures off an iPhone can be a bind, particularly if you don’t have a sync cable to hand. The most reliable way is to email yourself the pictures but if you do this directly from the Photo app it reduces the size of your pictures. The only way round this is to cut and [...]
