Evernote 3.5

Posted in Internet, Software on Feb 19th, 2010

Just installed this updated version, the new layout looks great. When I came to install it under Windows XP, it created a totally new Evernote 3.5 folder and left the old 3.1 folder intact. Evernote 3.1 can be safely removed via the Add and Remove Programs console without affecting the new 3.5 folder. I wouldn’t [...]

Quoting on internet forums

Posted in General, Internet on Nov 20th, 2009

This is another bug bear of mine. Posters not quoting the person they are referring to and just using ^^^^ to point to the post above. The problem with that is, if it is an extremely busy forum, your post isn’t guaranteed to be the next inline, so it confuses everyone and takes a thread [...]

vBulletin CMS

Posted in Internet on Nov 13th, 2009

It completely sucks. The implementation is horrible. Having to dedicate a whole forum just for comments is ludicrous, I see no other content management system out there with that requirement. Another thing that really irks me is the articles and comments count towards your post count, if that doesn’t encourage post count padding I don’t [...]

Tesco.com fail

Posted in Internet on Oct 5th, 2009

Congratulations to Tesco and their website. You give me an option to phone you, you give me an option to send you a letter. However where is the option to email your webmaster? All I want to do is ask a simple question about the way their site is displayed in Firefox 3.0.14. Especially their [...]

Wikipedia do you trust it 100%

Posted in Internet on Aug 29th, 2009

This thought has been going around in my head for quite some time now. When you are looking for information on the net, whether it’s just to further your knowledge or you’re doing research for an article. Do you base your entire research on what you find on Wikipedia, you don’t bother looking at other [...]

Do you Poken?

Posted in Internet, Social Media, Technology on Aug 22nd, 2009

Came across this cool new way to share contact info with other people thanks to a video interview with the creator posted over at “Building 43″. http://www.building43.com/videos/2009/08/19/a-new-kind-of-business-card-touch-me/ Simply you buy one of these pokens from one of their retail partners, register for an account over at: http://www.doyoupoken.com/PokenWeb/corporate/welcome.jsf Then “hi-five” them with your friends’ pokens and [...]

Please do not speak for me

Posted in Internet, Social Media on Aug 22nd, 2009

How difficult is it for some people to add three or four little words to their posts on an internet forum/social media platform? “In my opinion or “in my humble opinion” how difficult is that? It can alter my perception of what you are saying. If I want you to speak on my behalf then [...]

Forum Administrators

Posted in Internet on Aug 21st, 2009

Do you run your forum with your members in mind, or do you run your forum with just you in mind? Have you ever stopped to think why your members are leaving your forum in droves? Members like to feel that they’re part of the forum, they like to have a say in the way [...]

Testing the autopost feature

Posted in Internet, Social Media on Aug 20th, 2009

I’m testing the autopost feature. You may get duplicate tweets, as this should automatically post to my “Wizzard’s Blog” blog site, which in turn twitterfeed feeds out to twitter. If it gets annoying virtually hit me with a baseball bat and I’ll investigate Posted via web from richardarblaster’s posterous
