admin — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:48:57 +0000

Weirdest thing happened recently. I was checking my email via the built-in Mail application on my iPhone and buttons at the top of the display changed from white text to grey. Since the background to the button is also grey it made the buttons a tad tricky to read. Worse than that, the background and [...]

iPhone 3.0 update

admin — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:58:23 +0000

So it’s arrived, the much heralded update to the iPhones operating system. Was it seamless, did it go smoothly, erm well no. I’m guessing there were a few bandwidth issues for the Apple validation server whereby it ‘temporarily’ wasn’t available for a lot of yesterday. Actually it was available when the update was finally rolled [...]

One of the problems with switching mobiles is that you often have a whole bunch of peripherals for your old phone which won’t work with the new one such as in-car hands-free. And so it was with my brand sparkling new iPhone. Now personally I tend to get a bit hot under the collar when [...]

iPhone for newbies

admin — Mon, 11 May 2009 19:01:10 +0000

I finally did it, I got an iPhone. I had been putting it off although my iPhone acolyte mate had been waving one under my nose for a while extolling it’s virtues and showing me all the Apps and stuff he had downloaded. But it got too much hassle to carrying around both my Palm [...]

OK, it’s not the primary use for Adsense and if you want to be serious about your website stats then you have to use Google Analytics or something similar. However Google Anaylitics in common with most stats packages won’t give you an immediate idea of how many hits you are getting. Enter Adsense URL channels. [...]

Not too long ago a client outlined to me their plans to use podcasts more widely to enable better communication with their target audience. They were also looking to facilitate their in-house communication better and so were looking at using collaborative groupware. At the time they were using a shared host and my advice to [...]
