So the much anticipated Apple announcement is almost upon us. Many of the rumours doing the rounds not only include the much anticipated Apple Tablet, but also a new version of the iPhone OS. This would make sense if the new OS is to also run on a tablet as it would presumably need to allow for a different screen size. If there is a new OS there will no doubt be other enhancements and revisions, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to share fifteen enhancements I’d like to see made to the a new iPhone OS.

We’ve recently had some Nokia E71 hand sets in for staff to use and some users are now starting to reset their passwords for the Microsoft Exchange server. This needs to be entered on the phone, but unfortunately it doesn’t just offer up a “your current password isn’t working like to enter a new one?” option. Instead we’re having to make our way through the following twelve step laborious process…

For some time now Fujitsu ScanSnap has been a well publicised way to get your scans into Evernote with a minimum of fuss. I don’t have a Fujitsu scanner, but I did have a desire to get my an all-in-one print/scan/fax unit to fit into some sort of scan to Evernote work flow. Thankfully it was surprisingly easy.

A day or two ago Bloomberg published an article that featured a rumour that the next generation iPhone might conceivably include a touch sensitive back like Apple’s latest magic mouse. This surely has to be some sort of joke?

For a couple of years now I’ve been pulling IT service desk statistics into a spreadsheet and setting up worksheets to break down and analyse the data in various ways. The number of worksheets has subsequently grown a significant amount and I wanted to create a front worksheet that contained hyperlinks to and brief descriptions for each of the subsequent worksheets.

Prior to Microsoft Office 2007 (MSO2007), office provided a quick and simple way to find out just how big your file was. This was done by selecting the properties option from the file menu which then displayed the same file properties dialog box that you could select from the file in Windows Explorer.

I was going to spend some time today compiling a list of keyboard shortcuts for Evernote. I’d had a look around some time ago and been unable to find much out there, but before I began I thought I’d have another check. This time I found a link to a PDF on site mistywindows.com that does a superb job of describing the available shortcut keys.

I’ve been doing a little bit more work with some spreadsheets recently
and I came across a situation where I needed to work with a date and
carry out a comparison to a string of text. My first attempt fell short
as it wouldn’t get the value I wanted, but Excel’s TEXT() function came
to my rescue.

It’s been about a year since I started blogging here and whilst it was primarily supposed to be a site for quick useful tech-related posts several have grown into far larger posts. Whilst some posts have remained somewhat quiet on the number of reads others have generated far more interest than I could have expected.

Currently Evernote does not currently support outline structuring for notebooks. This means that you can’t group notebooks into collections (e.g. folders) or have sections/sub-notebooks. Recently I posted about why in many cases it is often better to use tags rather than notebooks as this allows you to better mark-up notes for searches and the like. However there is a desire to sometimes have information hierarchically organised and this is where an outline structure for notebooks in Evernote would be useful. Until the Evernote developers catch up on this popular request across all of the software platforms tags can provide you with a workaround.
