So I was leisurely flicking through the photo gallery on my phone today when I noticed a random screenshot of my desktop!
As a feature I’ve been after for some time I was strongly under the impression that screen captures weren’t possible on Android Gingerbread without a) rooting the handset b) installing an app or c) both.
It turns out not so …
I’ve experienced this issue on quite a few machines now: I go to print a .pdf from Adobe Illustrator and it comes out in black and white every time! The solution is very simple…
Vodafone is finally starting to roll-out Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to handsets in Australia. If you can’t wait for your system to check for the update then hit
settings > about phone > software updates
then with your fingers crossed press the check now button! Just make sure you’re plugged in (or juiced up) with a decent wifi connection!
It’s a fairly common requirement to override the default page template (page.tpl.php) based on the content type within Drupal, but it took me a little while to figure out how to do this in Drupal 7. The solution is actually very straight-forward so I thought I would share.
A while ago I noticed the sudden demise of the goal tracking across several websites I manage in Google analytics – one day the goals just died! Fortunately in my analytics account I had made a note (using the lovely annotations you can add to your timeline) that this occurred at the exact same time I had updated the analytics code on those sites. Coincidence, no!
I’ve noticed a few times now after pasting or inserting images into Microsoft Office documents (e.g. Word, PowerPoint etc.) that the next time I open the document the image seems to have a thin grey border on two sides. Adjusting the border settings in the Office document has no affect on the outline, but fortunately there are a few easy fixes.
I’ve tried numerous task managers; some with great features and functionality, some with nice polished interfaces, some even had Google Account integration. But despite it’s austere design and lack of bells and whistles I’m always drawn back to Google Tasks due to the fact that it is part of my Google account and that seamless integration offers me the convenience of taking my data with me wherever I can access my Google Account without the need for 3rd party apps.
However displaying that data in a readily accessible interface isn’t quite so easy. Sure my Task list is never far away; it lurks in the shadows within Gmail and it’s only a URL away on my phone, but for someone as disorganised as me that’s one step too far – I need my tasks in my face!
To remedy this issue I needed two things; a desktop widget for my PC and a shortcut icon on the first screen of my phone.
Here’s a quick tip to disable the Adobe flash plugin in Google Chrome.
Looking for an easy way to transfer all your emails from one Google account to another? Here’s a good solution.
Windows 7 is quite effective when it comes to searching your computer – start typing the name of a file or folder into a search dialogue and explorer brings up immediate suggestions from all the indexed locations on your hard drives. However Windows 7 doesn’t include the ability to index network drives, which is a little bit strange given that previous versions did, but there is an option…
