A while back I got ripped off by a guy on ebay (‘Jamie Power’ from Wales who uses the handle Redpower30, powercom1@msn.com/powercom1@ntlworld.com … you’ve now been warned, watch out for this scammer). We agreed a price for a particular item but I made the incredibly stupid and naive mistake of completing the purchase outside of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Edit: I should point out that this was a test of a mobile app called Shozu and the only picture I had available was of the weighing scales in our jacks. Don’t ask. Anyway, nice app Shozu, but you can only post pictures or videos so hardly something I’ll use too often considering the rates [...]

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 [...]
Amazon’s new electronic book reader Kindle, despite having just been released on November 19, has sold out already. Is this just a case of people wanting to be cool by buying the latest gadget? To be honest I think the design is crap. Whatever about the functionality I’d find it hard to pay $399 for [...]
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 [...]
