Terence Eden has a Blog
From the monthly archives: April 2010
I’m in the process of moving all my contacts from BlackBerry to Android. I’ve been moving contacts from phone to phone for close to 10 years – but I’ve never found a problem like this.
Getting my contacts from BlackBerry to Google was simple. I exported a VCF of all my contacts from Outlook and [...]
I was mightily disturbed to receive an email from Google apparently telling me I had purchased a Nexus One phone. Had I been hacked? Had my credit-card details been used to buy a phone? Were Google sending me one for free?
Hello!
Your new Nexus One phone has many cool and useful features. Learn more [...]
I’m a natural Labour voter. As I explained several months ago, I went in to this election thinking I may vote Labour. It’s now become clear that my vote will be going to the Liberal Democrats. More than that, I will be joining them.
I want to explain why – without resorting to attacking [...]
If you haven’t already heard, I’ve joined the award winning team at Touchnote ltd.
I was overwhelmed by the support of my friends on Twitter and by the excellent bloggers at Mobile Industry Review and The Really Mobile Project.
Starting a new job is never easy – but you guys have given me wind [...]
In 1974, a post-boxing day Britain tuned in to BBC 1 to watch “Robot” – the first Doctor Who story to star Tom Baker.
For the next 6 years, 2 months, and 22 days, Tom Baker was The Doctor.
But, as these things are wont to do, it came to an end. Forgive the spoilers, [...]
I’m a huge fan of Paul Battley’s iplayer-dl. In brief, it downloads videos from iPlayer by pretending to be an iPhone. The .MP4 files it grabs are suitable for playback on most mobile devices (480 x 272 and stereo audio). It also downloads radio programmes as .MP3 files.
I was having a bit of [...]
My eye has been caught by a stunning new gadget – the Immortal Video Eye Gear.
Head mounted 3-megapixel video camera. Seamlessly embedded within a pair of innocuous looking sun glasses. At £250, they’re not cheap. While battery life looks good at 2.5 hours, they can only record one hour of video.
No [...]
Mobile QR codes are fantastic. They’re real-life hyperlinks. Snap them with your phone and go direct to a website. What could be better?
The BBC, however, need a few lessons in how to optimise the experience.
As part of their Prisoner Zero page – the BBC have an awesome “Wanted Poster”. Here’s the [...]
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to any reader of this blog that I’m a phone geek. And a Doctor Who geek. So, image my utter nerdgasm when we got to see the 11th Doctor using a mobile he’d nicked. The burning question is which phone?
It’s quite hard to see throughout the episode. It [...]
I’m a shameless Doctor Who geek. I loved the first episode of the new series. But I wanted to point out a (minor?) plot hole in the episode.
Slight spoilers here, so wait until you’ve seen the show.
Towards the end, the Doctor is having a stand off with the Atari. He’s discussing the planet [...]
Many years ago, when I was very young and you were even younger, I bought a TARDIS.
Sadly, it turned out to be made of cardboard and only suitable for storing DVDs. No flying through time for me :-(
Also, it turns out that it wasn’t bigger on the insider than on the outside. Meaning, [...]
