I posted a question on Twitter this morning about Violin Hero (being a former violinist myself this seemed obvious) and I had some other suggestions, so I wanted to check the opinion of the general public on what the next ‘Hero’ game should be. Let’s see how the results turn out.
What should be the next [...]

I would like to add comment here but I think the letter says it all, we received the worst possible service from Mr Delivery last night and I simply cannot keep quiet about it. Here is an ‘Open Letter’ to Mr Delivery below.
TO whom it may concern,
We placed an order this evening (the 2nd January [...]
The Christmas Presents
So admittedly I have been one of the most useless blogger’s around over the past year. It has been an intense year after going it alone business wise. Now that the dust has settled on an amazing 2009 I have given myself some Christmas presents. My blogging frequency is largely to blame on the hate [...]

A customer of mine recently asked me for a windows version of Kannel. Prior to this I had no experience with Cygwin/Windows development at all. It was actually extremely simple to build Kannel using Cygwin (thanks to the Kannel developers for being, well, pretty cool ).
Obviously it’s not the easiest thing in the [...]

I have been relatively quiet the past few weeks with various operations going on, but seeing as I have a few minutes to spare I thought I would do a quick post explaining how to extract SMPP TLV’s using the new Kannel meta data features which are in the current CVS branch.
These are scheduled for [...]

I have had some time to experiment with J2ME which is something I’ve always wanted the time to do. So during the course of this week (maybe a few hours total) I have put together my first Midlet. It’s a simple piece of software which allows you to send an SMS via the Clickatell SMS [...]

Hi everyone,
I have ‘released’ version 0.1 of the Kannel Web Configuration tool. I have created somewhat of a home page for it here for those who are interested.
It is available as ‘donation-ware’ with full source code. Admittedly it was done in a hurry so hopefully later releases will see some code enhancements.
I am more than [...]

Following on with my previous themes of making Kannel easier to use for everyone, I have spent some time creating a tool which I think makes it easier to configure Kannel. It is a web based configuration tool which edits Kannel configuration files directly (doesn’t rely on any third party databases etc). I wrote it [...]
