Where do you want to go to today?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Due to popular demand - well, one person asked for it - I have added (reverse) geocoding to my map application. In plain English, this means that you can enter your address and the application will zoom to that location on the map; hopefully, this will be less painful than having to get to […]

Why Hotmail sucks

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

I decided to clean out my Hotmail account as I had accumulated 469 unread emails in it - mostly junk mail; I don’t actually use Hotmail that much now either. It was becoming irritating because every time I logged in to Hotmail using my mobile phone - it has an Internet connection - I had […]

DRM

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007
