Visiting Vodafone’s UK HQ today I had the opportunity to try out the new BlackBerry Storm – the first with a touchscreen and touted iPhone killer. As ever it was a well put together device with a bright screen and felt good to hold in the hand.
The real surprise though came when using the touch screen. Having got used to my iPhone for the last couple of months I was expecting something similar but pressing down on the screen of the Storm you get what feels like the screen depressing as it is clicked. It feels mighty strange and … Read the rest

You may have noticed a new look to the site today (still tweaking so expect some more subtle changes). I decided that not only did it need a refresh but also a slight change of emphasis.
Since spinning the site out of my personal blog I have covered anything technology based that has taken my fancy. However, going forward I have decided to focus on the topic of remote working.
This new emphasis will look at many of the areas that I have covered in the past, such as mobile devices, cloud based apps, and gadgets for the mobile … Read the rest
A while ago I bought this hard drive enclosure from Maplin. What I wanted was some storage that I could access across the network rather than locally via a USB cable and this seemed to fit the bill at £35. I slotted in a spare 80gb hard drive and plugged it into the router. Within a couple of minutes I had connected to it from across the network and was able to transfer files back and forwards.
The management software for the device is pretty simplistic allowing you to setup folders and privileges and not much else. However, it does … Read the rest

Further to my previous post regarding getting VMWare Server up and running on Vista I spent a while over the weekend trying to migrate a Virtual PC image.
VMWare kindly provides a tool to carry out the conversion called VMWare Convertor. My first attempt was met with a message: “Unable to Determine Guest Operating System”. I had a root around for logs or an entry in the Event Viewer to shed more light but there was nothing to be found. However, help was at hand on the ‘net suggesting that an install of MS XML 4 might resolve the issue … Read the rest
One of the things that has been bugging me since I got my 3G iPhone was that I had duplicate contacts listed. Normally this would have been a minor irritation but given that the contacts take an age to load I was keen to keep the list as small as possible. A search on Google returned lots of others who had a similar problem but none of the solutions (many of which seemed to be clutching at straws) worked.
One idea that did come up regularly was that of having multiple contact folders in Exchange but I was pretty certain … Read the rest
