Stella Duffy sums it up very well here, and here (same article, on her blog and public address). My reply from PA System is below. When we first arrived in London, we live in Brixton, and our closest bus stop was right by the

Leonie and I just had a lovely weekend in Antwerp with Di. I'll let Leonie show you what it looked like thru her lens, but one of the best places (aside from Di's place :) ) was Caffènation. (Their site is "down" for updates.

I've put up a quick "open letter" type post for London Bike App users, regarding the data quality in the app (and in the Barclays Bike system in general) It's over here. Comments / emails appreciated, as always.

Hurray! Apple has approved mobileAgent 1.4.3 today! New in this release: Contacts can be synced (one way) to the iPhone contacts. Expenses can now have various VAT levels set (auto, 0, 5, 15, 17.5, 20%, or manual money amount) Cleaned up

... with proper updated data (well, 3-5 mins out of date, vrs up to 20 or so for the current ones). London Bike App uses this feed now. The current version still works out docks free / bikes free based on the old method, but the

mobileAgent is out, in record time - Apple approved it within 24 hours of my submission. Thats almost unheard of! I'm not complaining tho - the quicker updates are out, the quicker I can do more! So whats new in this release? Add timeslip,

Nearly 12 months ago, I looked at the original iPad and came to the conclusion that it really wasn't the computer for me. Since then - in November just before we went to NZ - I bought one with the intent on using it

Yup, today is the day the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) get to decide how to vote in the next elections. [Update: this is also worth a read. Esp the H2G2 quote at the start] I missed a lot of the background, not

So while I was lazing in a field in West Wales, Apple approved mobileAgent 1.4.1. The main new feature in this release is Receipt Capture. Receipt capture is very much like adding an expense, except it pushes the captured image to Dropbox

First, a little disclaimer and statement of potential bias. I develop MobileAgent, which is a native iOS client for FreeAgent, a SaaS accounting package we use for Big Ted. I am also a shareholder in Xero, and I know a lot of the people

Helveticards. Brilliant.

Apple have approved mobileAgent 1.4 today. It's the release I've wanted to do for a while, but until recently, not had the time (or working internet connection) to complete. The main new feature is the attaching of expense receipt images to an expense.

"We steal all our vocabulary because our industry is new" - Marco Arment, Webstock, about 31:40 into the video. A friend found this in the BBC Tech section yesterday, and one paragraph stuck out like a red rag to a bull:

What: Sennheiser HD448 Closed Headphones. How much: about 60 quid (Amazon). Why: I need to block out the office chatter, while also not forcing my co-workers to hear my music. Also, I need to wear them for 8 hours at a time. Any good:

I've been messing with this code for a couple of days, and finally got it working over the weekend. The problem was, when using an image taken on the iPhone, the image is stored the same way each time (landscape, I think), but with

Since we got to London, I've had a fascination with the Tube. It's unlike anything in New Zealand: It's a train, and it's underground. NZ has a few trains (few being the operative word), but none of them go underground, not really. The system

Overnight, Apple have reviewed and approved v1.3 of MobileAgent. In this release is: Expenses are now handled using FreeAgent's code system, not the name, which means you can rename expense categories and it will still work. The 5 most recently used expense items

I've been doing some work on mobileAgent recently, even tho we have managed to move house and country during that time. I've been going thru the app, cleaning up various bits that, basically, pissed me off. Some of the highlights: Bank Account info. With

Not a lot of words here. 6 days in the middle of nowhere. No cell phones. No TV. No internet. This is my favorite place on the planet, bar none. Waikaremoana is a large lake in a National Park (Te Urewera National Park). It

Leonie and I took her parents up the Wanganui River today, in a jet boat. It was rather a lot of fun. Here's some quick photos from the trip up to the bridge to nowhere. Getting ready to go with Brent, who's a very

Apple's approval people are on a roll! 6 days from submission to in the AppStore is quite good, in addition to the 3 day update for mobileAgent the other day.... So, Trip Wallet is out. What is it? It's a small app for recording

Normally, I don't do New Years Resolutions. I've tried a few times, and once I made it past Jan 15th. Just once. So here's an easy and useful one that anyone can - and should - use. **Don't use just one password for sites
