How Expedia Made My New Bride Cry

If you would like to help me out, you can Tweet this story OR email Expedia and ask them to make things right for me and my wife. This is the story of how Expedia made my new bride cry. When Expedia followed up their failure with our honeymoon trip with a complete and total lack of acknowledgement of any responsibility for the problem and endless loops of explaining the issue over and over again - I swore that they would make it right. When they brought my new bride to tears, I got an immediate and...

Make Telephone Numbers Look Slick on the Web

The IPhone browser (and some other browsers/email clients/plugins) will automatically detect phone numbers and style them. This automatic styling might not look so hot, so its best to always explicitly style phone numbers yourself, if possible. Here’s the basic method: <a href=”tel:555-555-5555” class=”phone_number”>555... The “phone_number” css class should have, at a minimum in my opinion: .phone_number:link,visited,... { color:#5399d4; font-size:15px; font-family:...

iPhone Caps Lock How-To

Its not obvious how to turn on caps lock on the iPhone, so here is how in case you’ve wondered this yourself. Start the Settings app. Click on the General menu, and then the Keyboard menu. Turn Enable Caps Lock on. Now, when you’re using the keyboard, just double-tap the shift key. This will enable caps lock and the shift key on the keyboard will turn blue. To turn off caps lock, tap the shift key once. The use of a punctuation key also turns off caps lock (unless you use the double-tap of the space...

Managing MS Exchange Remotely From Unix, Phone, Windows, etc.

Recently I saw a question come to my friend Spencer here at /n software about whether or not it was possible to use the Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP1 PowerShell cmdlets through the /n software PowerShell Server. The person wanted to be able to manage Exchange from a remote Unix machine. Of course, as I’ve mentioned before, it could be done from anywhere that supports SSH – like an Apple iPhone or a Blackberry. The PowerShell server uses impersonation - it impersonates the user that the SSH client authenticated...

Sync Google Calendar, Gmail, Reader with iPhone

New iPhone owners will commonly ask themselves how they can sync their Google Calendar with their iPhone calendar. Or maybe how to sync their Gmail or Google Reader items with their iPhone readers. If you do a web search you’ll find some applications that will actually do this, but don’t waste your time. You want to go to the source, straight to Google, instead of going to Joe Bob Simpleton who has written some half thought out iPhone app to sync these things. So here’s what you do: Turn on your...

iPhone developers: go to hell

Mark Pilgrim highlights "every developers's worst fears about the iPhone". In the article, Jobs chooses his words carefully to be sure. But really they're just nice ways to say "screw you", and "give us more money": "You don't want your phone to be like a PC". Oh, thanks, I didn't realize. I guess I misunderstood what you were doing with the iPhone in the first place. Oh...or were those words just a sneaky (yet brilliant) way to draw comparisons to Pocket PC phones and Smartphones? Technorati : iphone...

iPhone: get real

Several people have made comments to me about the newly announced Apple iPhone because they know how I felt about the iPod when it first came out ( see my post, "Convert Your Pocket PC to an IPod"). I must say, it looks really nice. The tech specs are impressive. But can we all please get real for a second here? Really, its about damn time the iPhone happened. Really, this is not a new idea. One thing about the iPhone announcement that annoyed me is the way Steve Jobs and Apple make it seem like...
