One of the most useful little scripts I’ve written allows me to copy a file’s path to the clipboard. This provides a quick and easy way of pasting it into a file attachment dialog or even into the body of an e-mail. It’s certainly one of the most useful little automations I use on a daily basis.

One of the problems I’ve found frustrating recently with my Samsung Omnia i900 mobile phone is the Opera mobile browser bookmarks. The browser has been preloaded by my operator with a number of bookmarks that I have no use for.

I recently changed my mobile phone to a Samsung Omnia i900. Whilst there are several issues with it at the moment - mainly due to Vodafone being way behind on tweaking any of the Samsung firmware releases, I’ve found it to be a good phone, but it hasn’t been great at getting the contact data off of my previous phone; a Sony Ericsson K800i.

I’ve been migrating some web site content over the last few days onto a new installation of Drupal. The original site is still in place but in order for the Drupal site to run properly I needed to install it to the site root and set it offline. Originally I’d redirected the domain URL to the old index.html page, but this caused a few problems for Drupal saving settings.

I run a number of web sites on a relatively cheap hosting service called Dataflame. My current bandwidth doesn’t let me run sites particularly well from home (just yet anyway), and the technical issues I’ve had sometimes have been infuriating, but for the price, I think the service is probably quite reasonable.

There are lots of different photo albums out there available to upload your photos to. I’ve looked before at flickr and I even have a photobucket account somewhere, but I had a situation recently where these didn’t quite fit my needs.

It’s been several weeks since I last posted something here. This is beause I’ve been rather busy preparing to get married, getting married, and then having a honeymoon. Anyway I’m back and I’d thought I’d write a little something about a little task I set myself a few days back.
