Goggles

I have a set of skiing goggles & swimming goggles but who in there right mind wants a set of onion goggles? especially at £13.99 a pair! For those that must, available in Cambridge at the new store of Home Store & More in the old Beehive shopping centre.

Wordcamp UK

The proposed idea for a meeting for WordPress enthuasists seems to be picking up steam now. It seems to have a website and logo now. Proposed dates are 19 -20th July and probably in Birmingham. Head over to the website for more details.

Mobile idea

Latest gizmo I’ve discovered is a way of converting my RSS feed into a mobile version of this website. Tool created by Wirenode.

Although for self hosted WordPress users I think that Alex King’s WordPress Mobile Edition plugin which shows a mobile view of the post/page if the visitor is on a known mobile device is probably more useful.

Palm on the iPhone

Lets hope these guys at StyleTap can get their software working on a iPhone.

Would be so great if I could run all my old Treo applications on the iPhone. The Treo applications I miss the most are:-

Eatwatch for tracking your weight and exercise. Examples of mine are on Flickr


Blood pressure storing and displaying blood pressure and pulse readings
Metro Computing fastest way to places on undergrounds and public transport around the world.
Pocket Quicken Personal finance tool that syncs with Quicken on your desktop.
Screenshot captures the current mobile screen as a jpg image and syncs to your desktop.
Sudoku really neat application that creates sudoku puzzles.
UTS (UtrackSys.com) allows you to track anything that can be measured.

Also missing from the iPhone:-
Search capability of your contacts, notes, emails etc
Note taking and syncing.
Taking videos.
Recording mp3s.
Sending contacts in your address book by sms/bluetooth etc.

Will be interesting to see when I can do all of the above on the iPhone. In the mean time I can keep filling in the application feedback request form at Apple.

Thanks to Download squad for the heads up.
