iPhone

Site should play nice on your mobile choice

April 25, 2009

With much thanks to @Karoli I grabbed a copy of the WPTouch plug-in for Wordpress. This should make your reading of the site on the iPhone, iPod and Android enabled mobile phones.
Let me know if there are any problems as I have no way to test how it looks.

And here I thought the USB stuff was stupid

November 14, 2008

For some time now idiotic USB gadgets have been all the rage and fodder for more than one post in the tech blogoshere. Since the iPhone and now the gPhone the USB silliness could find itself thrown from the throne of stupid ideas for wasting good technology.
With the iPhone inanity had to have started with [...]

WTF Is Wrong With Apple?

September 25, 2008

I know that Steve Ballmer gets a lot of flack for his “Developer, developer, developer” ranting and more than one article has been written about the horrors of coding against the Win32 API but for all that the one thing Microsoft has done is promote the developer. Whether it be giving away Express versions of the developer tools to publishing top notch developer books under its Microsoft Press division the company has done a decent job of supporting Windows developers.

On the flip side of the developer world we have the devoted Apple developers creating cool stuff for the Mac and now the iPhone - or at least trying to because Apple appears to being doing everything it can to make that an extremely difficult proposition.

Using Your iPhone Could Give You A Cyber Woodie

September 24, 2008

Yesterday we heard from Russell Beattie about how bad the iPhone App Store was with more junk filling its cyber shelves than you would know what to do with. Now today via CrunchGrear we hear about some enterprising anonymous Japanese blogger who has come up with a new app

The Widget World Is A World Of Uselessness

September 23, 2008

Everyone it seems is raving on about how much money the iPhone App Store developers are making with many bragging about the tens of thousands of dollars they have made since the store first opened up. Just to clarify - this isn’t a post bemoaning the fact that these people are making so much money. As a matter of fact I wish them the best and I am really glad to see that development of applications hasn’t totally devolved into a pastel landscape of copycat barely useful applications.

The problem is that for every really usable application there are probably hundreds of totally useless applications that should never have seen light of day

September 19, 2008

After taking the last week off we all seem to be back in rare form with Cyndy already complaning about the silliness of the International Priate Day, Duncan providing the even keel as always and myself .. well just being myself.
Some of the subjects we covered were

The hacking of Palin’s email account with Yahoo

It’s Apple’s Playground So Quit The Grumbling

September 14, 2008

This past week saw a little bit of an uproar when Apple decided not to let an application for the iPhone be listed in their iPhone App Store. It wasn’t because of questionable content or some other public service reason either. It was because they said that the application competed against one of Apple’s own [...]

September 1, 2008

I can just imagine a whole bunch of parents with school age kids doing the happy dance tonight and a whole bunch of parents with non school age kids cursing them as they pass them in the Staples aisles. for them I hopefully have found a few things in today’s FriendFeed pipeline to make them [...]

From the Pipeline – 8.27.08

August 27, 2008

Well I grabbed a copy of IE8 Beta 2 when it got released today and I can tell you this – a lot of sites are going to look really flaky for awhile until web developers realize that IE8 is a whole new beast they will have to take into account. In the meantime here’s [...]

From the Pipeline – 8.22.08

August 22, 2008

I don’t know how it was that today ended up being the day I did – or at least started to do my required admin work on both the blog and the forums but it sure turned out that way. Still not done yet either but in the meantime while I escape from that drudgery [...]
