I’ve just invented a new device: iPhad (it applies to BOTH the iPhone and the iPad) – such apps are denoted in the iStore with a + sign.
So, I am going to share my email setup on my iPhad, which I have worked out after days of digging. And before you think I am a complete Dummy, I wanted more than the “simple” setup, that everyone knows about.
The Challenge:
To send emails from an iPhad using my own registered domain.
iPods amd iPhones introduced Podcasts – a subscription based method of obtaining media content for your iDevices, which you could access at some convenient time, often on-the-go.
Podcasts are a fantastic way to keep up to date with topics of your choice, whether it be music, video or lectures. Let me share some of my favourites…
I have two types of Newsletters that I subscribe to.
This article outlines my novel approach on handling email overload for the type #2 messages.
Could computing is one of the buzz phrases of this year. It refers to keeping one’s data or programs on a web server, so that it can be accessed by different web connected devices. Web mail was the forerunner of this concept. I am testing some of the free and paid options for the iDevices that I use.
I have a desktop PC running Windows 7 64bit, a couple of Netbooks and a Laptop, plus an iPhone and an iPad. How do I keep information available on which ever I pick up without going out of my mind for ever syncing files? The answer is to use a cloud based product. But which one?

I am frequently asked which are my favourite iPad/iPhone (a.k.a. iDevice) Apps. So I quickly run a set of screen captures of all Apps that I had played with and highlighted my favourites.
You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Well……….
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
Std versus HID
I had my BMW R1200RT motorcycle’s twin headlights converted to HID, this weekend. It is not often that one gets something for nothing, but due to the increased efficiency of HID lighting compared to standard halogen, one gets 200% of light output whilst consuming only 70% of electrical power. To me that sounds like a great deal! HID installation on BMW R1200RT on YouTube.

Silverstone HDDBOOST
With the recent availability of the Silverstone HDDBOOST product, users can create their own hybrid HDD by combining a smallish fast SSD and a large rotating HDD into a single entity. This will give an effective huge cache that is maintained after a power off. The onboard firmware automatically manages what files to mirror to the SSD. It is a “learning” product that gets better as it watches what is being accessed frequently.
This makes this ideal for a Boot drive that also contains the Programs folder. Read the rest of this entry »
I reproduce an article on the Gulf disaster by Terrence Aym. I am not qualified to comment on it, but suffice it to say that it is rather scary. You should read it now… Read the rest of this entry »
Bought iPad on 24 June, 2010 at 3pm. Took sleeping pill at 2am the next night as I couldn’t put the thing down. Finally switched off iPad at 3am and went to sleep. This thing is GOOD <grins>
They think it is meant to be a replacement for their Notebooks/iPhones. It’s NOT. It is a completely new productivity aid.
