Pipex Customer Service Nightmare – or is it!
Part One:
When people have asked me about broadband providers in the past my replies have always evolved around one simple policy, “Stay away from the Sub-ISPs and stick with the main providers”.
This has kept me going well, with no outages, a decent service and no problems. I signed up with Pipex Broadband years ago and have been with them ever since. However at the point at which they were swallowed...
Loving Twikini: Windows Mobile Twitter Client
Ok I am no stranger to tweeting – and I have constantly struggled to find a Twitter client that I have been happy with. I even was quite envious of those iPhone users with their nice client Twitter apps. The ones that I have used to date have either been clunky, slow, lacking in functionality or just plain bad!
Well no more – I’ve found Twikini (from Trinket Software); a new Windows Mobile...
XMPie Marketing Console for iPhone
Once again my good friend and colleague Tim Perrett has gone and done it again. XMPie stupidly allowed him to ‘have a play’ for a few days with the XMPIe APIs and the uber-geek that he is has come out with another world’s first – the iPhone application for XMPie’s Marketing Console! A while back in 2008 Tim was also the first person to write an iPhone application (again...
Backing up your WordPress Blog.
If you have put time and effort into creating and running a blog do not put all that hard work in jeopardy by not backing it up religiously. Many of us; me included will be operating their sites on a free host provider – which should really get you motivated. Think about it; all your work, posts, images and assets are sat on a server somewhere (and I doubt that you would know where!) under the control...
How to use RSS feeds in your WordPress blog
I recently wanted to be able to include the contents of an RSS into the main body of a page (or post), and was struggling to find a nice solution to this. The best and simplest way of doing this was through WordPress FeedList Plugin by Bill Raqlinson (http://rawlinson.us/blog/articles/feedlist-plugin/).
There are a good number of options available with the plugin – the best bet is to head over...
Enabling Internet Sharing (IntShrUI.exe) on blocked HTC phones
On several occasions after updated my ROM on my HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) trying to start Internet Sharing has resulted in a “IntShrUI.exe is blocked” message.
The best way around this is to edit the registry to unblock access.
Firstly you’ll need to edit the registry, so if you haven’t a registry editor then now is a good time to get one. One of my favourites is here (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/)

Finally managed to redesign my website
It’s taken a few long evenings – but I’ve finally managed to give my website a new and fresh design; incorporating a bit more functionality as well! Let’s hope that this one last longer than the last one did.
It still has some work to do on it – and a few edits to the templates files; but nothing that has stopped me releasing it. The small edits can roll out now over the next week or so.

Community Building: Setting up a free community or group website
One of the things that I have been working on (in my spare time) recently is community-based websites. So I thought I would share some details for those looking to do the same.
Define you group, organisation or community
This could be a local sports group, or local school committee or simply a website for your local village. You need to understand what it is that you want to do – whether it is simply...
