Written using the WordPress application for the iPhone.
Quick summary: the 3G is great (especially as EDGE coverage was patchy at best), I’ve not noticed the GPS but the AppStore makes it.
Suddenly Safari is no longer the most used application on my phone.
Should you buy one? It’s both the best and worst phone [...]

NetNewsWire for the iPhone is great, but has a flaw that spoil it.

The User Experience is all wrong when you read an article.
Your eye starts at the top of the page, you scan down the page to read the preview, then you have to go all the way back to the top to tap the [...]

I saw the “Your life on your Blackberry” ad the other day.  Obviously designed to promote the Blackberry as a consumer device (because of the iPhone?) my first thought was “that’s the first Microsoft ad I’ve seen in ages”.  My wife’s first thought was “how dated was that?”.

Ruby on Rails deployment is often regarded as a dark art. But the guys at Brightbox have made it simple with their Brightbox gem. I have recently moved three clients over - so I’m getting pretty good at deploying there. Here are the steps that I follow:
One:

A while back, I wrote a post moaning about RSpec.
My basic point was that there is something that feels wrong about it, and at the time, I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Now I have been using RSpec solidly for a week, on a new project, I think I have it. It’s the syntax.
Everytime [...]

It may seem stupid, given that 3hv has one employee, but I have just created my Organisation Chart.

Why?
Well how else can I swan about on a golf course like a real corporate executive? You’re not no-one until you’ve got an Org Chart.
