Wordpress app for iPhone

So this is my first try at blogging from my iPhone using the new app from WordPress!

The app allows you to post content straight from your phone, and save local drafts! You can also add photos to your post, like the one at the bottom taken of me using the app ( you can tale screen shots on your iphone by pressing menu+hold ).

You can also preview the post via a webkit view right in the app! Very slick!

I am very impressed, and it provides a way of me making the most of the dead time I spend commuting ( I am already now up to date on all feeds! ).

So congrats to Wordpress on a great app and again to apple on a great platform!

This means that O2 had to step up and handle the hoards of Apple fanboys (myself [...]

Saving data from Dashbaord Widgets

A while ago I created a dashboard widget to help people accessing the admin side of Ceros. It saves a lot of time with remember user credentials, and acts as a master key for accessing restricted areas. One thing that was causing a bit of a problem was saving preferences (passwords) when the users restarted their [...]

TFHell on the iPhone

I love the TFL website! It does an amazing job of find a route from A to B around London, using the various different forms of transport. However the site massively fails when I need it most! I normally use the TFL site to plan a route, but by the time I’m out of the door [...]
