Get rid of the dock icon for Skydrive on OS X

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012



Why this wasn’t the default is beyond me but….

defaults write /Applications/SkyDrive.app/Contents/Info.plist LSUIElement 1

Also it’s a long way off Dropbox functionality, thank god for the 25Gb

No Windows Phone app any time soon…

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012



Well a few days later and it looks like there won’t be a Windows Phone version anytime soon. Here is why.

1. There is no solid reliable way to get your own IP address and while there are bodges I prefer not to release stuff that requires such hacks to get them to work as they, at some point will fail to work.

2. There seems to be no reliable way to use UDP broadcasts – WHAT !?!?!? yes but there you go.

Not great news but maybe Windows Phone 8 will finally catch up to where Android and iOS were two years ago.

Browser wars – or what web browser people use when on this site

Thursday, April 5th, 2012



Key points:

Firefox is above average, no surprise.
IE is down a bit.
Chrome continues to rise.
Opera falling.

The lesson:

Who cares what browser you use as long as it works for you :)
