iPhone optimised theme for Drupal

Anyone using Drupal 6.x should take a closer look at the iDrupal UI theme which is intended to present an iPhone friendly version of any Drupsl site.

Whilst many might not have the resource to write another theme for their site for this platform one cannot ignore the increasing importance of Apples superb handheld devices. With rumours rife of new devices certainly by Xmas there is no better time to be ready.

Minigore iPhone Game

image220209083.jpgI was enticed by the appealing little character and the promising reviews but honestly this game just doesn't compare well against iBomber, Flight Control or Field Runners. If you are done with those then this is a fun quirky little game but it does not hold the same appeal as those previously mentioned.

The game play is pleasing but the interface is a bit twitchy and innaccurate.

Rightmove iPhone appliation review

image1376897810.jpgAt last the British obsession with property can be served on the iPhone. The most popular and comprehensive property for sale and to rent site in the UK has an iPhone app.

The Rightmove iPhone application is intuitive and fast to use, brilliant for anyone desperate to find a property in a fast paced Market.

Beware!

New playground in Macclefield vandalised

The playground only just opened on the Hurdsfield Estate days ago has been vandalised. It was my first trip to see the shiny new facility the council had built. I was gutted to see that one of the swings had chunks removed, huge amount of grafitti, safety matting intentionally damaged.

The playground is one of the best equipped in the area with some superb modern climbing frames, swings amd flush to the floor roundabouts.

I am apauled that in such a small time a brilliant resource has been ruined.

Tweetdeck is killer iPhone App for iPhone

image1806487775.jpgThe desktop version of Tweetdeck has long been a favourite of mine. It's capable presentation of live searches in multiple columns is a powerful function. For any heavy user of Twitter Tweetdeck is an enlightening tool making it possible to manage far greater volumes of messages.

convertbot for the iPhone

image1470936020.jpgIt's slick, fast and has an intuitive interface, can perform over 400 conversions like volumes, temperatures, lengths, weights and a whole heap more.

For a seemingly dull subject this is a hugely pleasing and extremely useful app and worth the tiny price.

Twitter going through growing pains?

image1311790537.jpgSeems lately the microblogging service Twitter.com has suffered recently from over popularity. Avaiability has been patchy and errors keep cropping up. Lets hope they manage to ride out these difficulties since it is such a great concept.

Google Analytics apps for the iPhone

image1165451988.jpgAnalytics App for the iPhone stands out from it's competitors which are clunky and badly implemented in comparrison.

It gives mobile access to the Google Analytics data for your sites and supports multiple accounts.

iBomber for the iPhone

image1571027377.jpgThe superb iPone application has a perfect combination of intuitive motion sensitive interface and compelling gameplay.

With now 14 varied levels both in difficulty and mission type, iBomber kept me coming back for more.
