How often have you come away from a conversation at work feeling like you think you know what is required, only to arrive back at your desk with a haze in your brain and unsure as to what was agreed? In fact, this can apply not just to work, but also to situations outside work: in relationships, casual meetings, social arrangements – in fact

iPhone: Apps – Relax Alarm Clock
Relax Alarm Clock for iPhone comes in 2 versions: the ‘Lite’ option, which is cut down and cut price at £0.59, and the full option, which will set you back £2.99; both are available at the App Store.
As you may expect, the Lite version is, well, lightweight. That said, depending on your needs it still offers an excellent alarm clock. You can
iPhone: Apps – The Daily Telegraph
I like to keep abreast of what’s going on, but I don’t generally have time to sit and read a newspaper. TV and radio news is OK, but on occasion it’s good to go deeper and get some editorial comment. BBC Newsreader for iPhone is OK, and it is certainly much improved since its latest release, but the angle of stories on the
iPhone: Apps – Twittelator Pro
At a cost of £2.99 I ‘ummed and ahhed’ over Twittelator Pro for quite a while: did I make enough use of Twitter to justify buying an app; were its features enough to justify cost over free; would I use Twitter more if I had those features? It’s rare for me to agonise over £2.99, but these things are all relative, and in
Why I: am not buying an iPhone [yet]
Don’t get me wrong, I want one, I’m just not buying one; not yet, anyway. I love all things Apple, and generally speaking the only thing that stops me spending ridiculous amounts of cash in the Apple Store is the need to feed and clothe my wife and kids (personally I could starve and run around naked, but they don’t share that view
Back Up Heaven: Bootable Clones
The last piece of my back-up jigsaw puzzle falls into place when I make my bootable clone. A ‘bootable clone’ is not simply a copy of your hard drive: it is a copy from which you can boot your system when you experience disaster, and from which you can recover your system when all seems lost. For me, it represents the ultimate weapon in
Back Up Heaven: On-Line Storage
One of the fundamental obstacles to overcome in storing data off-site and on-line is being confident that it’s secure: you don’t really want all your data freely available for all and sundry to poke around, do you? When you are as paranoid as I am when it comes to data security, this is a very real issue. But, as I discovered, choose wisely and
Back Up Heaven: Achieving Automation
The more you get into back up, the more you begin to appreciate it; but however much you are glad you do it, it is still a pain in the arse when it takes forever to do. The solution to it becoming a thief of your time, or something you give up on because it’s just too much effort, is to automate it as
Back Up Heaven (or disaster recovery for the paranoid)
If, like me, you have ever lost data through user-error, disk failure, downright carelessness or some other misfortune, you will know it’s annoying, and sometimes it can be distressing, especially when the lost data had sentimental value and/or was irreplaceable.
As I invested hours and hours of work into my vision, I began to feel very vulnerable to the effects of data loss: to lose
Hat-tip to T-Mobile
Given how quick I can be to rant about poor service and support, I felt it only right to give a public acknowledgement of some most excellent Customer Service/Relations I recently received from my mobile carrier, T-Mobile.
I have a ‘Business One’ Account with them, and it’s a pretty good deal. I get 2 lines sharing 500 minutes, free international calls (within my minute allocation)
