Bluetooth connecting to Phone Audio only, not Media Audio
Has this ever happened to you?? It was annoying me today. I was going for a long walk and I wanted to enjoy my favourite game (Ingress—come join the resistance!), but the audio wouldn’t come to my headphones. I had to sit down and work this out. I’d realised recently that my car was only …

How to STOP the Incessantly Annoying Picasa Web Album Notifications!
If you’ve wound up here, then I gather you too can’t stand the annoying Picasa Web Albums notifications on your Android device.

I had the need to setup my sister-in-law’s phone today from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6.

mydomain.com, mydomainwebhosting, mysql and localhost
I recently thought I would try a new webhost. I’ve been with my current one for a number of years, and the relationship, whilst not perfect, has stood the test of time.

Facebook Privacy–does it really exist?
I have toadmit, I am not really a facebook aficionado but I do concede that this is the way the world is going. I DO NOT like the attitude facebook takes with regard to privacy, and we have seen a lot of problems over the years… Everytime facebook changes their policy, we find ourselves having …
Freeze rows/columns in OSX’s Numbers spreadsheet
You can’t easily freeze rows or columns in the “Excel sense” in Numbers–Apple’s version of a spreadsheet. But what you can do is create header rows and header columns (the default grey ones) that ARE frozen. In Numbers: >> open the document inspector >> table inspector (3rd option for me, looks like a yellow table) …

accented characters in osx
UPDATE: I upgraded my OS X to Mountain Lion recently and I am not sure if it is as a result of the upgrade, or some other setting change I may have made, but now if I hold down a letter key for a short period, I get a tool-tip style box (right) that then …
