Observations on the world and its inhabitants
This is not a joke or paradoxically intended to be jokey. This is a summary of reasons why I suffer and sack fools who distribute my private email address. I thought I’d put this together so that I can hyperlink it to those who are let into my inner circle – who may at some ...
I’ve been shouting and screaming about the need to backup all important electronic data, for quite some time. See what happened when Mat Honan, “a senior reporter for Gizmodo, got hacked [and]…lost most of his digital property (photos, emails, documents and so on), and most of his ways of communicating with the outside world. Not ...
Immediately I can expect that people reading this will be further driven to think that I have OCD or that I’m terribly organised and IT proficient etc. I’m not into a debate today, on how people take small pieces of information and build pictures of ‘reality’ in their heads. Today I’m giving a tip, not ...
This guide assumes that your phone has been previously upgraded to Froyo and can go into clockwork mod recovery mode. Read and digest all information at http://www.slimroms.com/ – and note that you take all risks, and cannot sue anyone because no liability is accepted. This is not for those who cannot concentrate, innovate and carry ...
Cutting straight to the chase, SyncPlaylist is a tiny piece of software that works in Windows systems that enable you to create playlists for a USB drive that you use in your car. SyncPlaylist will also enable creation of playlists that work straight off the USB drive. So if you’re carrying music to a house ...
As the 3rd May 2012 approaches, there is a greater chance that a whole load of dummies are gonna be ripped off here in Britain. What’s so special about 3rd May, you may be wondering and scratching your head. Well, Samsung having rocketed to pole position as world leader in mobile phone sales (beating back ...
The word ‘cloud’ tends to cause attacks of anxiety these days. If that’s you, stay clear. I don’t wish to be accused of forcing anyone to read anything that causes stress. Gladinet is a service that is ahead of the race. “What race?” you groan. It’s the race to sync your home computer files with ...
I’m a shameless walking talking advert for anything Google. I mean Google is about the most secure high quality and free email service you can find. So, I’m about to show you a cool trick – how to send and receive emails on a non-google email account using google email (aka gmail). This is a ...
I don’t carry a paper diary. I therefore don’t have to worry about reaching for pen and diary or about losing a diary. All my activities are recorded on Google Calendars which live on Google and on my Android HCD (aka handheld computing device). If I lose the HCD by some stroke of misfortune, I ...
Yep – this is the news for those caught out by the Dummy Market! You, not knowing yourselves will be in tears if/when you see the Samsung Galaxy S3!! I’m punching the air about this. In my write up of the comparison of S2 vs Iphone4 in August 2011, I had concluded that S1 was ...
Another Rockian’s email account is hacked.. and spewing porn adverts at me. Well I guess it is not just a Rockian thing. Dohtishness and laziness flourishess outside of the Rock too. Everybody goes “Oooooh.. but I had a really strong password” and in my mind I say “Bollocks!!”. The guidance from Wikipedia is good (and ...
I’ve been so impressed with TIMELEFT3, that I’ve purchased four licences for the full version!! Auction addicts on Ebay can also benefit from this big time. This thing will watch your fav auctions like a hawk!! LOL. Timeleft3 may look complicated to some, but I assure you that it is very very easy. Look at ...
This is a good IT tip for people who want to save hard disk space, in situations when you have a large file that needs to be in two (or more) folders. Normally if you duplicate a file to another folder in Windows you will use double the space used on your drive. Makes sense, ...
This is a cool free application for Windows based computers. So you left that egg to boil or you have that important appointment coming up. Timeleft will track them in a slightly different way. Countdown timer in Timeleft tracks my boiling egg, while Reminder in Timeleft will tells me how much time ahead in years, ...
I had mentioned this application some time ago. I’ve now got the hang of it after some experimentation and I share the tricks here. You can use this application to sort all your files. Picasa will not do this stuff. However, Picasa becomes easier and more efficient to use after sorting the Robobasket way. Robobasket ...
Amazingly (about 20:00 2008-09-07), I’m contacted by email, by a colleague I had not seen or heard from for 28 years. In the first two emails. I’m told that I’ve abused some child in some forum, by cussing the child. Naturally when you get this kind of thing you think to yourself “What the heck!” ...
