Last month I moved over to a Mac setup at work allowing me to move into an almost none PC workflow (I still obviously need to test my websites on Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9 and soon to be 10.. sighhh). With the move came the opportunity to use some of my favourite apps [...]
When thinking of what I would want in Apple’s next gen iPhone which we are all hoping for this summer, there is really only one thing that springs to mind, a bigger battery. I’ve moaned about this before, and I’m still having issues. Having to sparingly use my device when I’m out and about is [...]
Whilst working on my latest project at Strawberry I got assigned a to-do for a fix. The fix was relating to a placeholder on an input element in Chrome (Mac stable version) that when a text box was given focus, the placeholder text inside it was not disappearing until the user typed (which I will [...]
As I am currently travelling back from New Adventures I thought I would take 5 minutes to look back over the last couple of days for anyone who wasn’t able to attend. This year was a completely different experience for me and I found it really beneficial making the extra effort to attend the none [...]
Many that know me know I’m a to-do app whore, I’ve tried pretty much the lot and haven’t found one that sticks, until now. Remember the Milk is a web service I have attempted to use several times in the past, in fact I first signed up at a guess maybe three years ago and [...]
So readers of this blog will already know that I upgraded to the 4S a few months back. Back then I pointed out that there wasn’t a huge difference with the battery life—Apple claim ‘outstanding battery’ on their website—but as I’ve been using the device for a while now I would say the battery life is actually worse.
This year Team Strawberry is giving ‘Who Wants to be an Entrepreneur’ a crack. What is this? It’s a competition that MKM—one of our clients here at Strawberry—run each year to raise money for Young Enterprise. Each team is given the same three tasks and they have to raise as much money as they can [...]
Google seemed to have pushed an update to their Google Apps allowing you to enable Google+ meaning you no longer have to use your @gmail account to use the site.
Remember a few months back when us Brits all applied for the majorly overpriced tickets to next years Olympic Games in London? Remember how the majority of us were told no? Well I do and I was gutted! Not just because I don’t get to watch some track and field, but because this is potentially [...]
As part of my upgrade last week, O2 made me move over to one of their new tariffs saying bye bye to my unlimited data (boo hoo) and even though it kind of sucks that I am now restricted on my usage, my data bolt on allows me to use the Internet Tethering feature on [...]
I don’t know if it’s just me but Facebook seem to have got their tagging system a wee bit fucked up. Since recent updates, their mobile apps have introduced this whole ‘with — John Smith’ feature which I think is handy when your tagging a post and linking someone in that your currently with, for [...]
Today I setup my first custom post type in WordPress for this notes section where I will be posting smaller ‘update’ style posts. It wasn’t until just now that I realised the two entries I had posted under this section of the site were not appearing in my main RSS feed.
Owning a mobile and a tablet, I spend a fair amount of time browsing websites on one of these two devices and a few thing’s tend to frustrate me and they both come to when filling in forms. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to add in a few changes to your forms to make sure that [...]
The term fanboy makes me cringe, well it used to, mainly because my none Apple liking friends of mine throw the term around like its some sort of disease, or as a cheap shot to wind me up and to be honest it usually works.
What is the world coming to, where are the days of turning on the news and seeing that petrol has shot up another x amount of pence? I used to hate hearing about petrol but now I miss it. In the last few years we have seen it all — Riots in countries like Egypt, [...]
For years I used Delicious (or del.icio.us as it was once known) for my bookmarking needs, then came Yahoo and to cut a long story short, they ended up letting it go. When I heard Yahoo’s decision, I went in search for a different bookmarking service and came across Pinboard.
Several months ago I booked a trip away with Lucy to Turkey. Excited as I was of the thought of chilling out in nice hot sunny weather, I began searching for a decent book to take with me for some good pool-side reading. I just want to point out, I rarely read books, except when I am wanting to learn something, and when I do I tend to stay in the bio area, I like truth in what I am reading.
Not sure if anyone saw, but back in July 2010 I ordered a custom Gelaskin, see here. The idea came from a post I saw on Tuaw and I was able to mock up my own version in Black. I was super impressed with Gelaskins, the skin arrived from across the ocean pretty snappy, the quality and look/feel of the item was great. Applying the skin to the iPhone was again very simple and quick to do.
A few weeks back I finally put to and end a long and gruelling process of designing and building my portfolio website. To put thing’s into perspective, I registered stugreenham.com back in 2006 and haven’t really had anything on their worth viewing, well ever!
