Awesome Note – A Review
I use my iPhone and iPad for many things including making notes and to that end I have a number of note apps on both devices. Some of them I’ve tried and some are awaiting evaluation.

I recently purchased two 23-inch monitors for work. Although my colleagues were impressed (and possibly envious), they also admitted that they wouldn’t have spent their own money on something that the company should provide.
One of the most useful presents that I received last Christmas was a silicone case for my iPhone 4. When the iPhone 4 was released I duly purchased a Bumper to protect my new toy. For anyone who has been living in a cave since last June, a Bumper is a thin hard plastic band that wraps around the phone.
I have over 100 apps on my iPhone. Some of them are used regularly, some rarely and some hardly ever or not at all (time for a cull?). So what’s the best way to organise them?
This week at work I was asked how to create a calendar shortcut icon within an outlook message. The lady in question wanted to send an email to a group of users explaining there was a seminar happening and to wanted users to be able to double click the icon to add the appointment to their calendar.
In my previous blog post about interruptions, I covered noise-based issues and suggested muting all participants. However, the delegates still need a way to communicate with you. Most online conferencing/presentation systems (such as Webex, Acrobat Connect and Centra) provide a number of tools that allow attendees to communicate with the presenter (or trainer in this case) including text chat, the “raise hand” button and emoticons.
As someone who has delivered online courses on a weekly basis for the past 2 years, I’ve experienced my fair share of interruptions, so much so that last year I wrote a blog post about it. In this post I offer two tips for dealing with noise-based interruptions whilst delivering online training.
When iOS version 4.2 for the iPad was released, Apple changed the functionality of what was, until then, the “orientation lock button” (the one next to the volume control). Much to the annoyance of many users (including myself), it became a “mute switch”.
I have decided that I want my work schedule available when I’m not logged in to work. Now you may think that is sad but if there’s a last minute announcement such as “new iPads are going on sale on X date” or “Apple are coming to town to demo their latest stuff” then I need to know if I’m free so that I can book a day off.
