Palm WebOS 1.4.1 hits UK
Palm hasn’t been doing particularly well recently, with failing shipments – which is a crying shame, and something partially to do with their marketing team I feel, especially when users are creating better adverts than they are.
However the 1.4 made some excellent updates and now 1.4.1 has arrived in the UK, which adds the support for Paid Apps to be purchased from the Palm App Catalog....
European City Guide Scam
I received the picture mailer through the post this morning, address to the company. It states that our details will be included into the European City Guide, and that “Filling in this form would give you the opportunity to be published in our inter-professional Guide on the CD-Rom and Internet".
There are the standard spaces to change and modify your details, and a box at the bottom to date...
Finally moved host and sped things up!
Finally, after a few evenings of moving files, copying databases and reallocating DNS entries I think that the removal vans are all unloaded and the web site move is complete! I believe that, for the vast part everything has gone smoothly without any downtime or redirections. I have to say that I do like WordPress – it does make things very easy!
I have recently bolstered the services that...

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...
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.

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/)
