Pushme.to iPhone App Review
March 13, 2010
Pushme.to is a free alternative to text messaging on the iPhone, allowing users of the app to send and receive messages from others on the service. At first I questioned the necessity of this application, after all, iPhone users already have SMS and various instant messaging and social networking clients (including Facebook and Twitter) on the App Store right?
After using it for a while, however, I came to appreciate the great service pushme.to offers as an alternative to these apps when you’re out of texts – after all, some of the iPhone contracts available on the market aren’t exactly generous when it comes to SMS limits. Another useful feature with this service is that it allows people to send messages to registered users from the Pushme.to website.

September 21, 2009
Is there really a need to tag a child with a GPS watch? Well it seems that every day in the press there’s more news about murderers, rapists and generally bad people and although you’d have a case in saying that a lot of this is just scaremongering, the fact that the streets are more dangerous than they ‘used to be’ is one that you’d struggle to deny.

This follows studies by Psychologist Dr Tracy Alloway of Stirling University assessing the effects of various games and websites (such as Twitter, Youtube and Facebook) on the “working memory”, and the results of these are pretty interesting.

March 2, 2009
In the past I’ve mentioned that you can get a free T-Mobile SIM card on Pay As You Go (PAYG), that way you are no longer tied to being on a contract paying a monthly line rental fee – I‘ve recently gone back onto PAYG myself and certainly for me I’m finding it the cheaper option as we’re all looking for ways to save money these days.
With that in mind, T-Mobile are currently running a special offer whereby you not only get a free T-Mobile SIM card, but you can also receive 1000 free texts as part of the deal – all you need to do is top-up your new SIM card by the 30th April 2009 and the 1000 free texts will then be added to your PAYG SIM card within 28 days.

October 13, 2008
I’ve been signed up with the Monster.co.uk for years now, it’s a website where you can find all manner of specific jobs that you tell it that you’re interested in, it then emails you when there are new jobs in the areas that you specified. As well as that, it has a whole host of resources for people looking for jobs and career advice – definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for that kind of information.
