Samsung S10+ phone
Last month the home button on my iPhone SE stopped working. It’s just over 4 years old now. If you have an iPhone you’ll know it’s impossible to use without a functioning home button. Fortunately I discovered you can install an assisstive touch app which will let you access the home screen without using the […]

Contact tracing apps, escape room games, and two interviews
Ben uses a very old smartphone of mine, an iPhone 4S. He’s never been able to download any apps to it or to his Mac due to a problem with his Apple ID. It’s not something that has particularly bothered him because he’s a bit of a Luddite and only uses the phone as a […]

Ben has been awarded a chair
There has been some good news this past week, despite all my misery over the trees. Last week Ben was promoted to professor of pure mathematics. In the UK this means he now has a chair. I have no idea why they call it a chair but when Elizabeth was explaining it to Daniel she said, “It […]

And the diagnosis is …
An ocular migraine. This is just as I thought but a nice relief nonetheless. And the cure is ……. menopause 🙂 Apparently an ancestor of mine had a baby at the age of 50 and in a time before fertility treatment was available so I’ll probably just have to be patient with this. I went […]

In possession of one iphone 4s
I have an iphone! …and as you can see, I’m very happy about it. Now I can ditch my suddenly very old-fashioned Nokia phone. It is very timely because in upgrading Xcode (the Apple development environment), I have rendered my old ipod obsolete and it is no longer recognised. So I would not be able […]

My first iphone on its way!
I have ordered my new iphone and it’s on its way! Thank you very much to my readers for their generous donations. I have been overwhelmed and managed to raise $813 in the end. I bought the iphone 4s for a total of $899, with Ben making up the difference as his gift to me. […]

Fumbling my way forward
I’ve just submitted my EruptNZ app to the app store for review. This app reads the RSS feed from Geonet New Zealand and reports back the current alert status for all of New Zealand’s volcanoes. I thought this might be useful for tourists visiting New Zealand and also for people living near or on the […]

At last, acceptance at the App Store!
At last my app got accepted into the app store. It’s called SoniaClock after my friend, Sonia. It does have a minor bug which I found last week but I didn’t want to remove the binary from the queue since it takes so long to get reviewed. If I remove it and fix the problem, I have […]

Conversations with Elizabeth and I want an iphone
Me: I love you Elizabeth. And we love Daniel. And we love Daddy. And we love Freud.Elizabeth: And we love the computer. That’s my girl. She’ll be programming iphone apps in no time. Speaking of iphone apps. I desperately *need* an iphone. It’s tricky learning how to program for the iphone when one is not […]

A new feature for my app
My clock app was rejected by Apple again. I was kind of expecting this since I really hadn’t added much in the way of features to it so I’ve been brewing another really cool feature which is now up and running. Now my app displays the time, day of week and the current alert status […]

How many features does a clock need?
Over the past year or so I’ve started teaching myself how to write apps for the ipod and iphone. I’ve made a couple of very simple ones which were accepted into the App store which is a feat in itself. I don’t know how many people know this but every single app is checked by […]
