NuevaSync allows you to sync Google Calendar with iPhone

Wouldn’t it be cool if someone setup a public MS Exchange server that talked to your Gmail, Google Contacts and Google Calendar? Then all you’d need to do to sync your iPhone with all these things is add this Exchange account to your iPhone! I’m assuming the above paragraph came out of someone’s mouth at [...]

Flash for iPhone via iMobileCinema

In late 2008 there was a bit of fuss over an application for the iPhone that would give you Flash in Safari. This could be installed if you had a jail broken phone/ipod and you added the link to http://d.imobilecinema.com in Cydia. By all reports, the program has been descibed as a “little buggy” at [...]

Moving Expression Engine

We’ve had to move an Expression Engine 1.6.x site a couple of times over the last week to test out a few servers, and as a result, I thought some people might find it handy to have a reference of all the nooks and crannies that Expression Engine tucks it’s path information into. Before you [...]

Is your Mac Safe

This morning ITWire put out a release about a trojan horse infecting Macs. Given the general attitude towards viruses on Mac, I wasn’t going to go nuts with my virus protection and instead just decided to use a basic program called iAntiVirus. It appears however that iAntiVirus hasn’t quite caught up to the threat of [...]

Windows 7 and Skype

Just a quick one for those of you who have installed the Windows 7 beta release from MS (7000) and have had troubles installing Skype. Apparently, the problem is only because of a Windows update. Have a look at this: http://chris123nt.com/2009/01/18/sqm-client-causing-crashing-in-windows-7/

Data Clouds

In my last posted I talked about G-Drive and my (great) expectations for this technology from Google. Whist we twiddle our thumbs however, there are some great Data Clouds out there right now which are really worth a look. Currently, I haven’t been able to find a perfect solution to fit all my needs but [...]

Where is G-Drive?

I’m going to call Google on this one now and we’ll see how close I get. I think “G-Drive”, Google’s long awaited online hard disk drive/cloud drive, is coming soon but it’s going to be something more than anyone expected. Google haven’t been afraid to break into markets where there are previously strong competitors. Some [...]

Is Windows 7 the right operating system for 2009?

In my last blog, I posted about my first take on Windows 7. In summary, I found that it performed like XP but had numerous improvements which were in large, all very good. So, has Microsoft got it right? To start with, let’s look at end users. Windows has a hard job because it has [...]

Windows 7… here we go again!

So, right next to me is a HP ZD8000 running Windows 7 beta 7000. This, for those who don’t know, is Microsoft’s first (and most likely only), public beta before the retail version hits the shelves sometime “this year”. There is already a lot written on this topic and I’m going to try and not [...]
