So, I've finally decided that i could and should be updating this site more, so here's my first attempt at what I hope will become frequent updates. For those who don't know me, take a quick trip to the About Me page. On the left, you can see a list of sections. Over time, I hope to build up a number of articles on various things, from general blog stuff to my computer's specs. I also hope to build up an affiliates page, where I'll mostly link to friends websites. So, Home is where you likely are now, and you already know about the About Me page. What else can you find on this site? Tracker - A brief attempt of mine to build a system whereby my mobile (at the time, a Nokia N95) would frequently contact a web page with its GPS coordinates. This would be stored with the date and time, and then displayed using the Google Maps API on the Tracker page. Since I last worked on it (back in May 2009), the web side was basically completed (everything can always use some tweaking) and I was looking at moving from a simple Python script that I had to manually run each time I wanted the page updated, to something that would check the coordinates every so often (about 30 minutes) and only send an update if the position had moved by about 200m. I have since gotten an iPhone 3G S, which isn't quite as easy to develop native apps for (need to own a Mac for one, apart from mono and some recent Flash tools) and doesn't allow apps to run in the background (unless the iPhone is jailbroken. I'm not sure if Push Notifications could be used for this either). The Maps app does allow you to send your current location to an email address, so this is an avenue I might pursue to once again be able to manually update Tracker.
Photos - A photo gallery of photos I have been bothered to upload. Along with updates to this site, I also hope to update the photo gallery more often. There is also the photo album on my Facebook page too.
Finally, at the bottom of most pages, you will be able to add comments. Feel free to do so, whether you are making suggestions or just saying "Hi" :-)

While it may not be a general rule, I think it is possible to fit the main drive of consumer uptake of a technology in each decade to a certain theme. Something that begins the decade in its infancy, and by the end of the ten years has become a mature market that most of the population either already has, or is about to buy into.

Since getting my iPhone, and starting to utilize the functions a bit more, I found myself wanting to have separate personal and work calendars in Outlook, and for these to be synced properly to the iPhone. Anyone who has looked at the Info tab in their iPhone's sync settings can see that iTunes has provisioned for multiple calendars (you have the choice of All Calendars and Selected Calendars), but it is not quite clear on how to get iTunes to pick up all your Outlook calendars.
