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.

SourceSafe: “Only one database connection at a time is supported.”

By Jonathan On May 7, 2008 · 3 Comments

I’ve been having intermittent problems with Visual Studio 2005 and SourceSafe 2005 occasionally complaining that “Only one database connection at a time is supported” when I load up solutions with multiple projects in them.

A Microsoft Knowledge-base article pointed me to the potential problem. Looking in the mssccprj.scc files for  both .csproj files loaded [...]

I just wanted to personally recommend a log view utility I’ve had the luck of finding recently, actually thanks to Ian again. Around October time, Ian contacted the logging.apache.org group asking :

“Does anyone know of an application that is capable of loading a log file that has been written to using the RollingFileAppender?”

It’s long been said that soon we’ll all have interconnected clothing, maybe even internet-enabled clothing, so that we become able to charge, plug in and head towards becoming bionic?

Making a Mockery

By Jonathan On April 22, 2008 · 2 Comments

Thanks to some example code by Ian I’ve completed my first Mockery. NMock allows you to instantiate mock objects based on interface declarations alone.

Is Barclays Internet Banking too secure?

By Jonathan On April 16, 2008 · 2 Comments

Having spent around five months fighting with Orange over a messup their system made on my account, I’m already fed up of call centres. So when my PinSentry security device from Barclays gave up the ghost last night, I was straight on the phone to report it.

Does iPhone mean business?

By Jonathan On April 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m in the process of using and understanding the new iPhone SDK from Apple. Consequently, I’m keeping my eyes keenly on new news stories about the iPhone. There are plenty of rumours surrounding the iPhone especially ahead of the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June.
