Red's Ramblings v.2

I’ve had a steady stream of Tweets and photos posted via Twitter but its been a while since I’ve put anything meaningful down in the form of a blog post, how rude of me. In my defence I have been quite busy lately and the periodic Tweet is all I’ve been able to muster. That [...]

To commemorate Talk Like A Pirate Day 2009 I give all you iPhone/iPod Touch users my current wallpaper (for the day anyway).

Over the weekend I gave the previously mentioned apps a good testing. The Sky Sports app is one of the slickest apps I’ve ever used. The interface is sublime with lots of little animation touches that make using it a pleasure. However I have to go hats off to iFooty Plus who’s push notifications just [...]

I’ve reinstated the obligatory Manchester United wallpaper on my iPhone, I’ve entered my teams in the Premier League Fantasy Football and I’ve installed my footie apps to help track things.

I bought Man United Chants which is a bit crap but it was only 59p and I liked the icon on my ‘footie page’ of my [...]

Frustratingly and not for the first time this week I was half a mile into a run and realised that I hadn’t activated the sensor. Or I should say that I did activate it but it went to sleep again before I started running. It may have been that the auto-lock on the phone kicked [...]

At least I’ve christened the new trainers.

I’ve often said that the additions to the iPhone in 3.0 and 3GS are so subtle you often struggle to list the new features when someone asks. It is usually the case that you end up using a new feature and then realise that it wasn’t there before. I think that’s kind of the point. [...]

When people ask me about the new iPhone 3GS the feature that gets shown least is the voice control. Not that it’s not notable but because I just forget its there. Having said that when I have used it (when I remember) it is very good. I’m amazed at how accurate it is even with [...]

I thought it only fitting that the post new phone entry came from the phone itself. I was going to use the Wordpress app that I have but after realising that I would have to manually enter my categories I switched to iBlogger. The main drawback is that I can only use the portrait keyboard. [...]

More a case of what a weekend.
Earlier in the week it was my daughters birthday and this was the weekend of the planned party. Following the party from hell that was my sons 17th where the house got trashed by gatecrashers I’d made sure I was on the guest list. The plan was to kind [...]
