I was reading that Ed Bott had switched from Windows Phone to iPhone, because Verizon didn’t push out the Cyan update. I have never had a problem with getting Windows Phone updates from 3, but my problem is not so much the carrier but rather the core functionality in the OS. Or, put another way, it seems to me that updates to Windows Phone are few and far between. These things take time, I am fully aware of that. But over the last couple of months it looks like Microsoft is focusing more on iOS and Android, while forgetting about...
After resetting my phone I was unable to install WordPress as the app didn’t show up in the store. Apparently Automattic decided to discontinue windows phone support and therefore pulled the app. I did a search and stumbled across a link to the store allowing me to install. Perhaps it’s only in Denmark the app is inaccessible. Anyway, here’s the link Enjoy
I am doing some analytical work on a side project these days. Currently, we are in the process of defining the scope of the system, so as the good analyst that I am, I have fired up Visio 2013. Now, I didn’t get the big flashy version of Visio, which means that I don’t have all the stencils I need. In another blog post I wrote about the BPMN 2.0 stencil, but this time around I have to use the UML stencil as I am working on use case diagrams and data models. Luckily the Internet is my best friend,...
Gizmodo has a really interesting article about an alleged Facebook payment functionality, which might see the light of day soon. Working in the financial sector, og coure makes this a very interesting thing to me, since payments are a an area where the competition is heating up quite dramatically these days. Danske Bank is doing a bang up job with their MobilePay solution, and the other banks (well, most of them) are trying to get the Swipp application to take off for real. Considering eBay has spun off PayPal in order to maximize the market potential, does indeed set the...
Talk about a blast from the past. Apparently MSN still has a lot of unique visitors, which apparently is the reason why the rebranding will take place. I liked the Bing brand, but maybe the new MSN will be the hottest thing since sliced bread.
Health & FItness seem to be new black these days. It is very common here in Copenhagen to see runners training along the water and when you get further into the country side you can’t throw a smartphone without hitting a peloton of bike riders, myself included. ‘I have been a runner and a bike rider for many years, but I never really got into the whole gadget side of things. Granted, there were not a lot of gadgets around ten years ago compared to now. True to my geeky self I have been using a Garmin Foerunner pulse watch...
Getting my Widows Phone 8.1 on
For a while now I have been pretty bothered by all the notifications i receive from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn in particular. Despite all kinds of filters I am getting more and more tired of beng bombarded with emails urging me to stop what I’m doing and go look at…whatever. The first social network to get the make over over Twitter. So without further ado I present to you a settings page without any enabled notifications. And here’s LinkedIn, or at least a small part of it.
Neowin just posted a render of the upcoming HTC One running Windows Phone 8.1. I think this looks really really nice, and I would definitely consider this over a new Lumia.
A couple of weeks ago my old trusty desktop PC died. I ended up up buying a Lenovo U430, which I had been looking at for a while. The machine has some pretty good specs, but notably lacks an SSD drive, which I guess I have to add eventually. Of course, it has no CD drive, so I will have to get Windows on there in some other way. As it turns out, I never ever use the touch screen, mainly because I don’t want to amke the screen dirty, but since the trackpad supports muliti gestures pretty well, I...
