Comment on Not a Desktop by Ant

Not so much in the small business environment, but for a student it’s a big deal. You’re often going to leave it in halls, which are not the safest places at the best of times, and you need to protect it from opportunistic theft – I had many friends at Uni swear by their Kensington lock even when the rest of their stuff was now long gone.

Is it a big deal with the design? Nope. Probably worth being aware of in this specific situation though.

THE EMAIL REPLY

You are contacting the wrong company. I think they went out of businessyears ago. We occasionally get emails from students who’re very angry aboutthem – but we’re nothing to do with them. They were at URL : http://www.ctcollege.co.uk/ – but the site is gone now. We’re an independent IT Skills information service. We work closely withcompanies like LearningLolly – an ethical IT Careers company. You can checkthem out at learninglolly.com. The Careers Team

Comment on iOS notifications concept on Vimeo by Ant

I’d have to agree with your comments about a better system for notifications on iOS. The current “Badge” system assumes all notifications are identical from a given App and that all App badges are visible (also starts to fall over when folders get involved).

A system similar to Android’s “Notification Bar” makes a lot of sense, and making use of that completely blank and 99% wasted search screen means I don’t lose valuable home space.

In addition, the most annoying thing I find about the Android bar is being able to grab it when I’m in a rush, often hitting the top row of Apps or doing nothing. Swipe right is an unambiguous gesture that you can pull off while running down the street without an issue.

Now if only it could tell me when Apps are updated without me having to check manually…

Comment on HOWTO: Install WiFi Certificates on your iPhone by KPandhe

I am trying to setup a new WI-FI network for my company’s intranet. But it refuses to pick up the certificate, even when the other parameters are configured and the profile with certificate is installed. Any idea why?

I use a plugin called WPTouch. You just activate it and it adds a new theme to your install (which you don't need to activate).

A petition won’t get you anywhere, neither will Watchdog. Since the company is in administration, they don’t have the finances to pay their bills, let alone repay customers who have complaints. The only thing you can do is write to them, ask for the administrators details, and then log a request with them. Its possible that once they have sold the assets and paid the debtors, there may be enough left to get some money back, but don’t hold your breathe. I wouldn’t spend money on a private detective. There isn’t really anything they could do.

Howdy! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!

I can only suggest going into the Wifi settings when you’re connected and choose Forget Network from the screen. Its possibly holding onto it while its still remembered.
