People You May Know / Suggested Friends

I’ve found Facebook’s People you may know ’Feature’ a tad annoying to say the least, suggesting people I dont want to befriend because let’s face it, if I had wanted them as friends they would already be friends right? Facebook you’re not that smart yet I’m afraid! Plus you may just get fed up staring at the same old faces!

After searching for a while on Google I found a couple of groups on Facebook (Ironic) and read a few blog articles, however it soon became obvious that most of the workarounds don’t work anymore, so I had a think and here’s my little hack to disable this feature.

Display Geo location Map on Page Load Geolocation WordPress Plugin

Posted by Snave on February 21, 2011 10 comments

I recently installed the Geolocation WordPress Plugin on one of my private blogs to allow me to Geotag my posts with a location from wherever I might have been at the time of posting. The main feature that really stood out for me was the ability to Geotag posts using the WordPress iOS app, when writing a post from my iPhone I could Geo tag that post accurately using my phones built in GPS capabilities.

Hide Dreamweaver CS4 / CS5 File View Columns

Posted by Snave on February 13, 2011 0 comments

Adobe Dreamweaver LogoWant to hide certain Dreamweaver CS4 / CS5 file view columns? For example the columns ‘local files’, ‘size’, ‘type’, ‘modified’ and ‘checked out by’? I couldn’t find anything on the net about this so thought I’d stick a blog post up.

A Touch-Optimized BBC News Website for Smartphones

Posted by Snave on January 24, 2011 0 comments

I recently had an idea while using the BBC News iOS app. On my original iPhone 3g (Now quite old I must admit) in my experiences it ran pretty horribly, was slow to load and seemed to choke up when scrolling through the different news categories.

I use the BBC’s mobile website as well and thought there was a need for something in the middle, between the old school mobile version of the BBC News website and the modern iOS app. It would need be graphically pleasing, fast, platform independent and suitable for touch screen devices but can still be accessed via a web browser, not by using a proprietary ‘app’.
