Finggers and Apps

May 17th, 2010

Have you tried Finggers? It’s a great new social media site devoted to iPhone and iPad users. Once you create your account you can be followed and follow other users and you can list the apps that you have on your iPad or iPhone.

It’s a great way to find new apps based on what users like.

CIBC launches iPhone app

March 6th, 2010

CIBC just launched an iPhone app:

It’s simple, effective, clean and works well. I did not notice an option to look at my investment account but I am sure that this will eventually come as well as it would be nice to place a buy/sell order from wherever you are.

A couple of Mac problems

November 14th, 2009

I am having a couple of problems that I am not being able to resolve.

Problem # 1 is that iWeb crashes on my kid’s iMac as soon as we open it.

I ran disk utility and got it to repair permissions but that did not resolve the issue.

Problem # 2 is that I added a contact through the contacts app on my iPhone and despite the fact that I can see it on the iPhone the contact information does not flow to Address Book on my Mac after I sync the iPhone with my Mac via iTunes.

I’ve tried the sync a few times and yes I have all the proper check box marked on iTunes info tab.

Any clues?

I am wondering if I found another couple of bugs or if I am having issues in the interface between the chair and the keyboard.

Battery-O-Meter App for iPhone

November 14th, 2009

One of the main complains regarding the iPhone is how long (or not long enough) the battery lasts.

I just downloaded the Battery-O-Meter app that will help you check your battery status very quickly.

The app is elegant, does the work and it is available for free at the app store for limited time.

Enjoy.

iPhone now connected to my company’s Exchange server

November 9th, 2009

The good folks from my company’s IT department connected my iPhone to the exchange 2007 server and it’s working very nicely.

The only challenge that I have noticed so far is that I have both my business email and personal email configured on my iPhone but the device OS only allows me to configure one email signature.

Am I seeing things or is that the way it is?

I will report my experience with this as I progress using the iPhone as business tool.

Managing multiple passwords on your Mac

October 24th, 2009

Screen shot 2009-10-24 at 9.44.47 AM.png

One problem that affects most computer users is the fact that you have to track multiple user ids and passwords that you assign to different web services.

If you are assigning the same user id and password to every web service you use then you should seriously re-assess your security strategy.

If you are like me and you never repeat a password on two different sites than 1Password is the app for you.

1password will integrate with your Safari, Firefox and other Mac web browsers and will capture the combination of userid/password that you enter on any web service and will save that information in a database that can only be unlocked by you.

One password will also allow you to securely store passwords and other information that are not necessarily related to a web service (e.g. Credit card numbers) and will allow you to create IDs that you can use to fill online purchase forms.

There’s also an iPhone 1Password app that will sync with your Mac and will allow you to carry your passwords with you wherever you have to go to.

It’s a great app and I have been using it now for quite some time.

Never forget a password again.
