On your own time … for your own sake

It constantly amazes me how many people use their company email to send personal mails without at the very least removing their contact details from their signatures. I’ve heard of people in the past being suspended or even losing their jobs due to ‘mis-use’ of their company’s mail system. In the past couple of weeks [...]

Unlocking your free O2 text messages

O2 and probably other gsm service providers too offer you free text messages through their website. With O2 you get 250 free messages per month, the only pain in the ass is that to use them you need to log on to the site to access the message form. For that reason I only use [...]

Personal .ie domains

With my head buried in the sand these past few months I totally missed the change in .ie registration rules … as of 31st October 2007 you can now register personal .ie domain names! Certain restrictions apply of course but it’s a welcome and long overdue rule change. For cheapest registration prices, that i found [...]

Ah, push it – push it real good

Here’s a mobile application worth trying out … emoze – A PUSH email solution for everyone! One of the things I missed a lot when I switched from an i-mode Sony Ericsson back to a Nokia was the lack of push email. That problem is now solved thanks to emoze. It’s free and it works [...]

Maps, Windows Live Local (MSN Virtual Earth), Ask.com, Open Street Map and other sources on Java J2ME-enabled mobile phones, PDAs and other devices. MGMaps can connect to a GPS receiver over bluetooth or use [...]

Bango!

Whatgo? This caught my attention when I was surfing through c|net news recently. According to c|net “Bango is trying to make it easier to get content onto your mobile phone” and since I love myself so much the idea of being able to read my own blog when mobile really appeals to me :-/ “The [...]

Firefox 3 Beta 1

I just noticed that Firefox 3 beta 1 was released yesterday. The new version is based on the new Gecko 1.9 rendering platform which has had some serious work done on it. Other changes include added security, increased ease of use and improved performance i.e. they’ve gotten around to addressing some of the memory leakage [...]

Raiméis … wha? I thought that blog was dead!

On the canvas alright, but not out for the count. I’ve missed blogging and might just have to start up again to release all these pent up feeling that have been stirrin’ this past few months. While I try to think of a comeback post I’ll leave you with something I spotted today. The following [...]
