A colleague of mine popped by today to ask my advice on mobilising content management systems (“CMS”). His company has a really old, creaking CMS that they’re utterly delighted with. It works fine, they don’t want to change it, everything is perfect. The only thing it doesn’t do is ‘mobile’. It doesn’t recognise iPads, iPhones, [...]
Is your Vodafone Glasgow 3G data not working either?
The capacity crunch is well and truly biting for Vodafone in Glasgow it seems. Reader Squawkbox tweeted today asking if I knew anyone on the network side at Vodafone to help out. I have been thinking carefully — alas, I’m not sure I do. I wonder. If you’re reading, and you manage Vodafone’s data network [...]

Use the Dominio’s Pizza app to order ahead from their new motorway store
Another Pizza-themed post today, this time about Dominio’s. The company is about to open it’s first motorway store at the Leigh Delamere East services station in Wiltshire on the M4. This, by the way, should be encouraged. I’m a little bored of the usual Burger King offerings at a lot of these service stations. This [...]
The conundrum with giving money to Spectrum Interactive
I’m in Manchester at the moment doing some filming at Old Trafford, the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ for Manchester United. I came up from London last night and stayed overnight in the Premier Inn next to the stadium. I then had to make what I’m sure is a very familiar decision to most readers — WiFi [...]
