Iphone Applications that i use

2008-09-11T01:27:50Z

The app store isnt a new concept by any means. I mean Handango been there for the windows platform for ages. But because with Apple there is an integrated approach, it works well. The apps like everything else; is good and bad.. Not sure what Apple criteria for software is, multiple versions of software that does basically the same thing doesn't really work for me. Anyways what apps do I use most? NetNewsWire - Free app. This is singularly the best application for me as it syncs with Newsgator...(read more)

Lately on the technology front, been playing with Windows Server 2008. I can say that my vista phobia is over. It is what vista should have been like.

Free Sydney WiFi plan bites the dust

2008-05-01T23:04:24Z

I have reached the point where I am totally disenchanted with the NSW government. Can they do nothing right? First is the disaster that the transport system in Sydney, then the hospital system in shambles, corruption in the councils and now this . We need to be connected everywhere and our backward government doesn't see that. Well I know who I will be voting for next time elections roll around....(read more)

Graffiti CMS revisited

2008-04-09T09:18:00Z

Over the last week or so, I been spending some quality time with Graffiti. I found that there were absolutely things that I love, even to the point of trying to convert this blog over to it. (more about this later). The layout and site design, is relatively easy..you can use the result of my playing here . The content posting is great and works sort of with Live writer. What I find is that not all themes or skins that are publish support a default set of features of Graffiti, so you need to customise...(read more)

Graffiti CMS

2008-03-28T00:14:22Z

I been hearing good things about Graffiti so I took advantage of the $99 offer from Telligent. Will be implementing it on this site this weekend. This site was built on CS2.1 and to be honest CS2.1 is too clunky for a blog. Now with the licensing costs for CS2008 being more expensive, I decided to look elsewhere. I love DNN but it suited more for a different purpose. Stay tuned and I will see what we come up with....(read more)
