I'm Mike, a Web Developer and Mac lover working in London, UK.
I love clean, valid code and crisp design. I am currently involved in lots of new, exciting Web based projects.
For Tomorrow is iPhone Day
Yes, it's June 17th tomorrow. Not only do we have the new 3.0 version of the iPhone firmware but also the update to Apple's MobileMe service.
iPhone 3.0 features loads of new features like cut+copy+paste, turn-by-turn 'sat-nav' support, and the ability to search your entire iPhone. There are also lots of cool little tweaks, like the ability to put the native iPhone apps into landscape mode, granting a bigger keyboard.
MobileMe (formerly known as .Mac and iTools) was launched on 9th July 2008. Since then it has had mixed reviews from Mac and Windows users. It didn't help that in the first few week of launch, users couldn't access their emails through the web-based service.
The new updates to MobileMe include two powerful iPhone based features; Remote-Wipe and Locate my iPhone. In the words of Apple's Phil Schiller, "Microsoft Exchange for the rest of us."
An exciting time for all!

Arrrrrah, I hate small minded 'I hate Macs, because they work' articles.
Why Web Developers Don’t Need A Mac
I commented:
"Boring….
Why bother writing an article about a topic that has no ‘right or wrong’.
Surely ‘Pro developer tips for Windows user’s’ would have been a better, helpful article, even to Mac users.
OS choice is down to the individual’s needs, and how comfortable they feel with the system and what they are actually developing. For example to develop in ASP/ASP.net on a Mac is a bad choice. The same way developing Ruby on Rails on Windows is silly as Mac comes with Rails reinstalled and good editors.
It’s true that Macs are a more stable platform. Vista is, well, rubbish, even Microsoft have admitted the fact. Hopefully with the release or Windows 7, windows user can not only develop in a stable, bug free(ish) environment but re-establish trust in a brand that has let them down for many years.
Stop wasting time promoting hate between operating systems and spend more time on something more productive."

iPhone OS 3.0 Leaked! Torrent Download.
The iPhone 3.0 software has been leaked as a Torrent download, just 2 days before the official release from Apple on June 17th.
I wouldn't worry about rushing to download it just yet! Sit back, take a breath, and wait a few more days...

The commute begins
Managed to get a nice seat in the first caridge of the 8.06 Gatwick Express.
Fairly empty today. Will be interesting to see if there is any more Tube strike action planned for this week.
