By Jonathan On August 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

In case you’ve not yet realised the business benefits of using SMS, then maybe this story from Ireland will help convince you.

He then lost audio telephone contact but the [...]

Powered by Elephants

By Jonathan On August 8, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Apparently this coffee is elephant powered. Well, made with Elephant Beans anyway.
Unlike that Kopi Luha (sp) whose beans have passed through the digestive system of a wild cat, I’m hoping these haven’t been fished out of some dung. I jest of course as it refers to the size of the beans.

iPhone now blogs

By Jonathan On July 22, 2008 · Leave a Comment

So finally the application I’ve been missing has turned up on the Application Store. WordPress from those lovely people at Automattic has provided a free app to blog direct to my self-hosted blogs. It’s a great first step and works really well.
I hope a future version will include an admin interface as well. [...]

Good morning and welcome from Clumber Street in Nottingham outside the O2 store. It’s nearly time and we’re quietly confident here at the front of the queue. I’m in 9th place so fingers crossed!

The Night before iPhone

By Jonathan On July 11, 2008 · 2 Comments

Twas the night before Friday, when all through the house, the PC was crashing, couldn’t talk to its mouse.
The taxi was booked for 5:20 with care, with hopes that a 16Gb iPhone soon would be there.
His fiancee was nestled all snug in the bed, while visions of multitouch danced in his [...]

ODear, no iPhone

By Jonathan On July 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

It took me a while to spot my email from O2 this morning admittedly. The chance to pre-order a 3G iPhone for delivery on launch day on Friday. A perfect opportunity to avoid queuing for nothing before work. I was all excited and started to fill out the forms convinced that as I’d added a [...]

NMock Out Parameters

By Jonathan On June 26, 2008 · 8 Comments

I’ve often thought that NMock is under-documented. The way I’ve started to learn how to use this extremely useful library is through the well-formatted examples that Ian has left around. Practical examples often show you far more than a glossary of terms or a list of available methods.

This week Andy and

If you want to get some limited Intellisense when you’re editing or creating NaNT .build files then you can try the following:

Copy the nant.xsd file from inside your NaNt schema directory. Paste it into your Visual Studio XML Schemas directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\Schemas\ Restart Visual Studio

TryParseExact and UTC DateTime

By Jonathan On May 23, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’m in the midst of SIP-land at the moment and looking at the expiry time of requests. After discovering a subtle difference in the parsing of DateTime strings between my development machine and the production servers, we’re now using the DateTime.TryParseExact() method to specify exactly what the service should expect to see.

One of the [...]

New iPhones ahoy?

By Jonathan On May 8, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The recent news that the 8Gb version of the iPhone was discounted wasn’t a huge shock with rumours of a pending 3G / Business flavoured iPhone in the distance.  However, today sees MacRumours reporting that O2 have stopped selling ANY iPhones, 8Gb or 16Gb.

Sales might have been lighter than they anticipated, [...]
