  Posted: 09 Nov 2007 at 11:57 by Keni.Barwick

  As part of my new shiny, I've been installing latest drivers and software... Now one thing I've been getting really annoyed with Vista is the "Open File - Security Warning" dialog box.There is nothing wrong with it as such, just when I click the "don't ask this again"

• Deleted Domain User and no other log on?

  Posted: 09 Nov 2007 at 11:46 by Keni.Barwick

  Don't worry... I have the answer for you...Yup, the other day I deleted the user from a domain, but forgot to enable another local user!!! Der brain... So there I am sitting with my head in my hands franticly calling people I knew to see if they had a way of getting back into the PC without blow

• v1615 in stock!!!

  Posted: 06 Oct 2007 at 13:47 by Keni.Barwick

  I was Facebooking yesterday on my phone (http://m.facebook.com) and an old friend from Uni got in touch. He said he was getting really sick of the lack of functionality with his Blackberry Pearl... Now I know that the Pear is a great device with a stack of features, but when you don't have a Bla

• OpenAJAX alliance pursues Mobile

  Posted: 03 Oct 2007 at 16:15 by Keni.Barwick

  Today a fellow Conchango technology team member Pryank Rohilla (start blogging mate!) let me know about OpenAJAX alliance meeting up in California at the Microsoft's office to discuss how to bring common AJAX standards to mobile devices. (Link)This is a good thing for me since Internet Explorer

  Look, I'm getting a little sick of this argument and so I'm going to be brief and bold.iPhone = ConsumerWindows Mobile = EnterpriseIf Microsoft, or OEM's for that matter, release a device that it just for the consumer... Then we'll have this little brief chat again...Why this st

  Posted: 18 Sep 2007 at 13:30 by Keni.Barwick

  For the last few days I've been banging my head against a brick wall... I just couldn't get a) A SQL Mobile database to read due to upgrading it to 3.5 and forgetting!!! (Idiot!) b) A solution to deploy to an emulator... "Connection Failed. The configuration data for this product is cor

• HTC release the TyTN II - But will the Vodafone v1615?

  Posted: 12 Sep 2007 at 12:40 by Keni.Barwick

  I got the usual email today, one that no doubt some of you received today regarding the official release of the newest HTC device the TyTN II. As the name suggests it's an upgrade to the old TyTN, though calling it an upgrade feels a little weak. I've had my grubby mit's on one and man i

• Visual Sudio 2008 and SQL Server CE 3.5 BETA - Uninstalled

  Posted: 25 Aug 2007 at 08:46 by Keni.Barwick

  I've given up on it and uninstalled it... I have so many of my projects that work with SQL Server CE and since upgrading to the Beta none of them have worked... I thought it was me for a while, but even the simplest application with only a SqlCeConnection.Open() method in it doesn't work! I

  Posted: 23 Aug 2007 at 10:32 by Keni.Barwick

  I was asked by a client recently if there was a way to sync the company's public folders with other Windows Mobile users... Hmmm I said... Nope, sorry...This is something that has been somewhat of a problem with ActiveSync from what I can tell for a while now. With Microsoft not including this f

• Fonebook - Facebook faces on your phone via Outlook

  Posted: 21 Aug 2007 at 15:56 by Keni.Barwick

  I'm a little late on this one but I've installed in and after a few retry's got it to work... It's pretty cool, very slick UI with very little for you to do until once installed...That coupled with my new HTC Home plug in with 6 buttons it allows me to show my friends and familys fac

  Posted: 20 Aug 2007 at 11:42 by Keni.Barwick

  It's been a while now since I came back from Vegas and the MEDC conference there. Yet one of the things that keeps running through my head about the event. The Silverlight demo on a Windows Mobile.This was a great show of the cross platform ability that Silverlght can bring to users and develope

• New Vodafone Windows Mobile device is a coming... But what is it?

  Posted: 08 Jul 2007 at 09:23 by Keni.Barwick

  Well I can say I've given up on speculating recently, not that I'm wrong or nowt... Just I don't want to disappoint you...But there are times when I hear things in Blogs and press about things that are just not true or are completely without any facts! (Which is the same thing - ed)Rant
