Teething Problems for London's Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme
by
Ben Weeks
on Tue 17 Aug 2010 15:42 BST
I just thought I would have my say on my recent experiences of the Boris Bikes (Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme to use to true terminology). I had "hire" hopes for the scheme, which could save me having to lug my Brampton style bike on and off the train at Kings Cross ... more »

Multiple Signatures in GMail for Different E-Mail Addresses
by
Ben Weeks
on Mon 19 Jul 2010 17:15 BST
It's here at last - out-of-the-box GMail functionality to have multiple signatures. If like you me, you run a number of different e-mail addresses in Google for different things, and you wanted to have a separate signature for each of them, previously you had to use a GreaseMonkey script, browser plug-in, canned responses or something along those lines. However, I logged in today, to see under Settings > General under the signature section, you can now specify a different signature for each e-mail address that you have - as well as using colors and fonts that you wanted. Now if they could only be put at the bottom of my e-mail text, rather than the bottom of the message as a whole ;-)
How to View Unread Emails in GMail
by
Ben Weeks
on Mon 19 Jul 2010 17:13 BST
Out-of-the-box, there's no "show unread emails" option in GMail or GoogleMail as you get in say Outlook. Fortunately, in addition to your own user defined labels, there's also some system labels that are not displayed in your list of labels in the left hand navigation. One of these labels enables you to view unread e-mails. To view all (and only) unread messages in your Gmail or GoogleMail account type "label:unread" (or "l:unread") (not including the quotation marks) in the Gmail
search field then click on "Search Mail". You can also combine these with other criteria, such as "label:unread from:ben".

How to Create a Text Resize Function Using Just JavaScript
by
Ben Weeks
on Tue 25 Mar 2008 23:05 GMT
In many hosting platforms, CMS products and alike, it's not always possible that you can (or at least have permission) to create server side code to perform text resizing. The usual way to acheive this is to write out a different CSS based on the users preferences. more »

Installing TomTom Navigator 5 on Windows Mobile 5 (Orange SPV M600)
by
Ben Weeks
on Fri 18 Aug 2006 00:10 BST
I thought it was about time I purchased a GPS navigation software for my Orange SPV M600 after upgrading from my Nokia 6680. I used to use NaviCore, which wasn't too bad (can you believe all I had to do was insert the storage card they sent me into the device and it worked?). The features of TomTom sounded enticing though with the ability to use my contacts addresses, rather than having to type in all the addresses again like I did for NaviCore. So, it was either CoPilot Live 6 or TomTom Navigator 5. I thought as market leader, there must be good reason to go for TomTom, so went ahead and purchased TomTom Navigator 5 Software and Maps of Western Europe. more »

Inserting a Large Banner Image into SharePoint Portal
by
Ben Weeks
on Wed 09 Aug 2006 12:10 BST
If you use the regular Site Settings > Change portal site properties and SharePoint site creation settings to insert a large banner image, you may find this expands the page too much as the Site Settings, Help and My Site links will get pushed further to the right. more »

Customizing the Portal
by
Ben Weeks
on Tue 08 Aug 2006 15:22 BST
Here's my suggestion for best practice for making changes to the Portal. The idea is to basically leave the standard Microsoft SharePoint files alone, so that any changes we make can be easily undone, and if a service pack or fix is released, then it's got less chance of affecting our changes made. more »
