Twidroid Pro on Android
Posted on August 16, 2009, by Darren, under Mobile Phone, Technology.
The cool Android app Twidroid is about to launch a Pro version soon. New pro features will likely include:
- Multi-account support
- Video posting
- Desktop widget
- bit.ly support
- Follower listings
- Interface themes
Having used the standard app on a T-Mobile G1 for a while now I can say that the app is very good at what it does, is stable and always seems fast and responsive. Sure some people don’t like it – but you can’t please all of the people all of the time can you.

Here’s a quick (read: bad) video of my new cycling jacket, that could probably double up as a rave jacket!

Personal UPS
Posted on August 10, 2009, by Darren, under Technology.
A few months ago I picked up a personal UPS to use on my main computer. I plumped for a reasonably cheap version, one that only lasts up to 20 minutes but this is enough time to power the machine down and avoid those dreaded Windows harddisk / driver errors when a machine is turned off unexpectedly.
The Trust version I bought also has a spare surge protection port and a socket for a phone, good if you needed to keep an answering machine on etc.
Its worth getting one if you get regular power outages, or are paranoid like me.

Woopra Analytics 1.3.1
Posted on August 8, 2009, by Darren, under Software, Technology, World/Web News.
Woopra, the on-line & desktop analytic software has been updated to the new 1.3.1 version. The beta software is still undergoing testing, with over 90,000 users, and is not likely to be launched fully until the end of the year, or even early 2010.
I’ve been using the software for well over a year and a half now and it’s stunning – think Google Analytics on steroids – as it pulls live data from your site. I managed to witness this software running on a large newspaper website a few months back and it was pinging well over 550 simultaneous users. The downside of this number of users was the 10,000 page views per day (beta) limit ran out very quickly. 
Current users are constantly asking when the full paid for version is coming, and I’m happy to say I’m one of them.
