How Firefox Has Become My Daily Hub
Feb 10th
I can remember not so long ago, I bet less than 18 months, when I’d have all sorts of software open just to run my day to day admin.
Back when I was rockin’ Windows I had all sorts of bits open in my task bar to get me through the day. It struck me earlier this week that everything that I do now is pretty much centralised online and that Firefox has become my central hub for everything.
Whether it’s management, invoicing, relationship management or even mundane things like mail or calendar (granted I do used the native Mac apps too More >
There’s An App For That – But Do I Go Apple or Android?
Jan 19th
Apps have obviously become a major part of our lives now and with more and more phones, ipods, ipads and laptops being enabled for app use, there are loads of new apps stores coming into light to offer us lots of different options when it comes to downloading our apps.

Oct 21st
Hey guys
Apple just announced FaceTime beta for Mac is available, and I’ve had a play around with it for half an hour so thought I’d share a quick little review.
I’ve used myself as a guinea pig for this first FaceTime for Mac review but I got a good feel for it.
My Little FaceTime For Mac ReviewThe interface is really nice; clean, simple and elegant, and the calling from my Mac to iPhone worked beautifully. I had some trouble connecting when I tried to place a call from my iPhone to the Mac though, it wouldn’t connect – wonder if More >
How The iPhone Has Changed The Way I Work
Jul 7th
I’ve been working on a few bigger blog posts which I’ll be getting around to publishing over the next few months and something has occurred to me; as I write these posts I keep dipping in and out of WordPress on my iPhone to add and edit things within them, as the ideas enter my head.
This is something I couldn’t have done a few years ago and it got me thinking: how has having the trusty iPhone (or smart phone of your choice) affects the way I work.
Aside from the usual gaming / time killing that I do on my iPhone whilst More >
Merging Two Apple IDs For Use With iTunes
Jun 30th
Ok so whilst I was trying to solve my MobileMe POP3 problems I then realised that actually, I probably want to have my MobileMe address as the one I use for iTunes etc.
Problem is, when you try changing your (in my case) Hotmail address to your Me.com address, you get an error saying that the Me.com Apple ID is already in use. Which it is, by you.
Now you have two Apple IDs.
So, like any good geek, I tried merging two Apple IDs for use with my iTunes library but couldn’t. I didn’t want to use two IDs as there’s More >
