A couple of months back Phil Libin (CEO of Evernote) did another public Q&A session on the Evernote blog. During the course of this session he set out a range of updates that would be carried out in the Evernote-sphere over the course of the rest of the year. I’ve finally managed to get a few hours to filter the whole question-response set and categorise them into mini-road maps of what’s coming for Evernote users.

All of the rumours are that the latest iPhone from Apple is imminent. It’ll be running the new Apple iPhone OS 4 for sure, but what will the fourth generation iPhone have in store in terms of hardware features? Well I’ve put together a list of ten things - five near certainties and five “wouldn’t it be cool if…” things.

WWDC 2010 is taking place tomorrow and the Internet is awash with rumours of what Apple might be announcing. After dominating the tech news in the last few months with the iPad, iPhone OS 4 preview, the leaked iPhone and the release of the new MacBook Pro devices (though admittedly this was a little quieter than the others), what will Apple be covering?

Today I took my final ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) module assessment. ECDL is a syllabus that has seven modules of assessment on what many people might consider to be the day to day forms of IT literacy in a typical workplace.

Today Evernote released the 3.5.4 update of the Windows client. Evernote’s blog post on the release covers many of the new features, but there was one notable absence of one of the new features that also reminded me of another obscure feature of Evernote I discovered a while back.

Each year the organisation I work for holds a conference and my team provides technical support. This year is slightly different in that we’ll be using the venue’s ICT equipment rather than our own.

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to turn your iPhone into an iPod touch? For example in a meeting that’s being recorded but you needed to provide updates on a social media network, or even just abroad and you don’t want to run up your call/data charges. Well there is a way and it is nice and simple.

A little while back I was asked to put together a twenty minute presentation for a group of staff on an ICT related topic. After some deliberation and input from one of the team leaders I decided upon a topic of communications technology that was available to them. As a basis for the presentation I decided to put together a diagram that showed the relationships between the technology and the features of each along with some guidance on choosing the right sort of technology for the right scenario. At the end of the presentation I could then give the team an A3 copy of the diagram to put on their wall for reference.
