No Trial Version Available
Pocket Computers and Phones
Why are so few Symbian apps being released without a demo version? It just doesn't make sense. I thought I'd look at some of the reason why, and why I think that no demo makes no sense.

Eilidh's First Birthday
Family
From Vikki It's been a while since I updated Eilidh's website, so I've added a few new pages including one showing how much she's changed over the past year. She had a lovely birthday, and lots of new boxes to play with (leaving Ewan and I lots of new toys!)...

Vikki's been busy with photo shop again. I just love the concep behind this album. And as an aside, he's the first review of Flash Gordon I've seen that captures the spirit of the movie perfectly....

Kilts on Hangar Straight
Formula 1
No it wasn't me!!! if it had have been me, I'm sure I would have got a lovely picture from the 7650 and had a "Your Symbian - It's Crap" T-Shirt on, with a huge banner giving the URL of Vexed. And I would have stopped everyone except Justin Wilson....

I Want Her In The Games
Family
There are just some poses that cry out I'm cute to Eilidh's Mum. Unfortunatly they scream something else at Daddy. Luckily Vikki is more than happy to indulge me in (some of) my fantasies thanks to Photoshop. Now, all I need is the Light Cycle Stroller. (The full entry...
SameGame Cleared To Land
Programming
Mind you, there's nothing wrong with a maddening puzzle game... I'm on a train from Edinburgh back to London on Sunday, and as I pull out of Waverley I though to myself I want to play SameGame on my 7650. Now there are a tonne of versions of SameGame (including...

Letting Go Of Code
Programming
There comes a time when I have to stop coding improvements into applications and publish them so everyone can tell me what's wrong with them. I think it's getting very close to that point with Cera. Cera is an Outliner program. It can be used as a simple notepad, but...

Can't Google for WAP on Movable Type
Pocket Computers and Phones
Well, the new WAP template has been greeted by everyone I've shown with a "Wow! How can I do that!" So I'm looking around the net from some hints on improving the WAP side (namely posting comments and forms), and pretty much every WAP on MT (Moveable Type) post is...

The First Sign Of Summer
Personal Thoughts and Messages
Visiting Edinburgh for a long weekend, and I'm out in the back garden when I hear the noise of an aircraft. It sounded very old, with a rather throaty sound. Looking up, I saw one of the most gorgeous aircraft in the world. A Mk V Spitfire. Now I've seen...

Literature in the 21st Century
Pocket Computers and Phones
One of the 'must have' applications on my 7650 (and 9210, and 5mx, and Palm, and so on through to the dawn of history) has been an EBook Reader. Ebooks are generally compressed text files that allow you to store an entire novel in around 500K (for the average novel)....
