Women Watch Too Much Cricket! :)

Posted by & filed under , , .

I was just having a look at Microsoft’s tool for demographics prediction (http://adlab.microsoft.com/Demographics-Prediction/) and started getting curious about what is the split in between men and women when watching sport and here’s some interesting data that this tool predicts (Sky peeps you’d better listen out if you want to target your audience properly!): football: that […]

LinkedIn and WordPress

Posted by & filed under , .

I’m sure many have used the WordPress LinkedIn application to post some of their blog content onto LinkedIn — and like them so did I. I’m still contemplating whether it was a mistake or not as the moment I’ve put the post about my leaving IntelliTXT team onto LinkedIn I got tons of emails — […]

Ideal Mobile Phone

Posted by & filed under , .

Here’s hopefully a post that will keep growing as I keep thinking of other facilities — what would the ideal mobile phone offer and look like: I really like the touchscreen ones which interpret hand gestures (e.g. iPhone, Blackberry Storm etc) I also like the possibility of having both a full QWERTY keyboard and also […]

Leaving IntelliTXT…

Posted by & filed under , .

I haven’t updated this blog in a while nor have I been checking emails on the liviutudor.com domain account and it appears Murphy’s law applies in such cases — as I had indeed one email asking about the WordPress plugin for IntelliTXT which has been sitting in my inbox for about a week now. Should […]

New mobile + contract

Posted by & filed under , .

I’m sure we’ve all been here before, but even so, I find it just as annoying every time: your mobile contract is about to expire…and to prove how much they appreciate your being one of their customer, your mobile company A calls you to tell you that you are eligible for a free handset upgrade […]

System Update

Posted by & filed under , .

For the less geeky of you who haven’t figured it out by now, there’s been quite a few changes recently on my website(s): First of all, my advertising/banners are now served via a fresh implementation of OpenX — and I can’t begin to tell you how much easier is to normalize <script> tags and <iframe> […]

Playing Music on Mobile Phones

Posted by & filed under , , .

Maybe it’s just me who’s been unlucky lately with the MP3 players and mobiles I acquired lately but it seems to be an intentional incompatibility in between those still! In brief — a couple of years ago I had a Sony Ericsson mobile and what I did like about it is that it had a […]

A Big Space in between Firefox and Internet Explorer

Posted by & filed under , , .

For those of you who tried to put together a “flatten” function cross browser to eliminate consecutive spaces and/or trim some text that is retrieved from the HTML page itself, you might have noticed that a simple regex of the kind /\s+/gm is simply not enough and occasionally Internet Explorer would still return a string […]

One (good) reason to switch to Firefox

Posted by & filed under , , .

I was talking the other day with a friend of mine who’s by no means a techie — however, she decided to switch to Firefox (rather than using the pre-installed Internet Explorer which comes with Windows). I was a bit puzzled (in a good way) to find out about this so I asked why. And […]
