mNotes

September 30th, 2004 · No Comments

Got recommended this piece of software by another palm user at work, mNotes. It’s for synching your Notes with your Palm. I’m currently using the evaluation version but it appears to work really well. Well better than the Lotus software I’d been using before.

deep fried treo

September 27th, 2004 · No Comments

My Treo is still only half rebuilt. I haven’t put back a few bit’s of software as I can’t decide whether I need them or not. The WEA pilot I’ve been taking part in, which allows you to get your Lotus Notes anywhere is on the list of apps that I can’t make my mind [...]

GTD

September 25th, 2004 · 1 Comment

I’ve been reading 43 folders and I’ve liked some of the tips that they’ve posted. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy the book. Now I’m not saying I’m rubbish at organising myself but I thought it worth while seeing what all the fuss is about. I’ve already done some course in personal [...]

Fried Treo

September 25th, 2004 · No Comments

I’m getting a little fed up now of my retractable sync cable. Unless you put it in perfect first time, it shorts out the connectors at the bottom and fries the treo. The next thing you see is the Palm logo. Not good.
The last couple of times this happened a quick hot sync and all [...]

Unbundling in the DSL market.

September 23rd, 2004 · No Comments

BT’s shares were downgraded to ‘underperform‘ which isn’t good news for BT. The news cam on the back of C&W’s plans to develop it’s products within the DSL market place now that it had acquired Bulldog. I wonder what fix time C&W would give for it’s DSL service? So it looks like some of [...]

is BT is holding back the SMB?

September 21st, 2004 · No Comments

I’ve been having some discussions around SLA’s with a major UK Telco the last few days and a lot of the discussion have been around the 20 hour fix time for DSL. BT (they aren’t the same Telco with whom I’ve been having the discussions) won’t put the same level of service and the same [...]
